Museums in Duisburg
Museum Küppersmühle
InnenhafenIt was only a 20 minute walk, but …
The Küppersmühle museum was almost a complete waste of time. It’s a private collection and maybe it should stay that way …
I warmed up with a mushroom risotto in Vapiano.
Interesting fountain.
Fortunately the DKM museum was on the way back to the station and that was much more fun. They made life particularly challenging by not labelling anything! Apparently you are supposed to concentrate on the art, not on the fame of the artist…
This seemed just right for today!
Bird cage – including bird song and seeds….
Nice window.
Ai Wei Wei’s neolithic pots. Almost 2000 year old pots and 20th century paint!

Staying at Stadthotel Kolping.

Off to Bocholt
Off to Bocholt tomorrow. The train goes at 07:47 from Hbf & gets to Duisburg at 11:47. Change to go to Wesel, then change again to go to Bocholt 13:25. Well at least that was the plan. Almost everything was late, so I arrived an hour late.

The Portland Plan
The plan for our sculpture course on portland. Tout Quarry in Wikipedia.
Tout Quarry
Tout Quarry is an old, abandoned stone quarry at the top of the island close to the Heights Hotel. It was worked for the famous Portland stone from 1780 through to 1982 giving important buildings in London and around the world its great look, from St Pauls and Buckingham Palace to the United Nations Building in New York. It is now a sculpture park full of varied stone carvings both free standing as well as worked into the rock faces left over from the days of quarrying allowing sculpture to meet the environment, its geology, ecology and working histories.The sculpture park first came about in 1983 but the very earliest of pieces have not survived through to today sadly. However the quarry does now have over 70 sculptures dotted around the gullies make a walk around the quarry not only an adventure but a with real surprises around many corners. With the backdrop of the 18 miles of Chesil Beach stretching into the distance and with views right across Lyme Bay on a clear day, Tout Quarry makes a most interesting and picturesque walk.
The Portland Sculpture Quarry Trust (PSQT) also works out of Tout Quarry allowing the layman to get a taste and more of working the stone. They run workshops from May to September each year for beginners and all levels of skill. There is level access with a screed floor and light tarpaulin for weather cover. Tuition is given by experienced carvers and sculptors in direct carving, architectural detail and letter cutting. At the start of the course there is a selection of freshly quarried Portland stone, the finest of carving stones, soft enough to carve, yet extremely durable. Courses are run for the general public over the summer and schools, colleges and university groups during term time.
PSQT is also leading a project during the Cultural Olympiad 2009-2012 to build a unique stone lithophone for percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie to play in a performance to celebrate the opening of the Olympic sailing events in 2012. The stone Lithophone, built on site from stones that ring, explored the distinctive range of tones, harmonics and sustained reverberation found in the geological structures of the different quarries on Portland.

Der Plan
Aus Zitty
Berlins bester Spazierweg?
Einen Grenzgang gefällig? In weiten Teilen bildet das kleine Flüsschen Wuhle die Grenze zwischen Marzahn und Hellersdorf. Gleich hinterm S-Bahnhof Köpenick beginnt der schön angelegte Spazierweg fast immer direkt am Wasser entlang, zwischendurch kann mann sogar die Seite wechseln. Vorbei am kleinenwuhlesee und der Biesdorfer Heide führt der Spazierweg direkt zum U- und S-Bahnhof Wuhletal. Völkerwanderungen oder Rabiatbiker sind hier nicht zu erwarten, stattdessen: gelangweilte Entenpaare oder hie und da ein Fischreiher. (7 km)
Und wer dann noch nicht genug hat: Der hübsche Weg führt bis zu den Garten der Welt. (4 km) Hunde müssen da leider draussen bleiben.

Magic Mushrooms – October 2012
Ich kenne mich mit Pilzen aus!
Kann mann geniessen, sie sind aber ungeniessbar.

Tuesday
Between packing and heading for the airport we went for a last look around the “Chinese wholesalers” quarter better known as the 3eme arondissement.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all – well not him, and that lion looks ready to pounce.
She has a much better chance.
Well, that’s the end of magical Paris for now. Back to the bathroom!

Monday
Today was a Tricolour day, the sky was bright blue, my nose was bright red and the tissues white which I dropped in bins all around Paris.
We walked around sightseeing, as it was such a beautiful day.
We were quiet as church mice, but right next to Beaubourg, I couldn’t see the point.
Gerhild’s birthday present is trés chique.
There are sights to see around every corner.
I wonder what music this Parisienne was dancing to?
Sacré Coeur by moonlight is worth the climb.
I couldn’t get this fellow’s tail to wag whatever I did …

Sunday
Vegetables like the doorman (Mitman by Fabrice Hyber) here were one of the highlights at the MAC/VAL, including this great film which you can see too if you follow the link.
Lunch included a few vegetables too although it was hard to see for wiping the tears of laughter away caused by Anusha our waitress, who tried to get us talking to the resident artists at the next table while we waited for the cook to cook something.
This cool cat didn’t mind the wait either.
This spongey specimen seems familiar …
This was interactive art. You fit a clean ear swab to the propellor in the headphones, put them on and move in front of the fan, et voilà, clean earhole!
Kim couldn’t resist a brioche here. -
Saturday
Today we went with Bruno to the Maison Europeene de LA PHOTOGRAPHIE
We saw work from Choi, Claude Nori and Alice Springs which you can see here, well 1 each anyway. No not that Alice Springs, the other one, Helmut Newton’s wife.
Someone told Gerhild to be quiet as she was making such a noise here, so we moved on to La Halle Saint Pierre to have a nice lunch and to see the Banditi dell’Arte exhibition with its collection of outsider art, which Bruno brought to life by translating the biographies for us.
