THE ARTWORLD IS A BITCH

SHORTS

Many ideas and hardly any concrete plans for the week, besides working.
On tuesday I will be doing some kind of seminar as a professional preparation of my life as a freelancer.
On wednesday I might be attending the zero'' Party at KILLEKILL but may be in bed early in order to be well rested for my trip to Hamburg on thursday.
I most certainly will be at the Gillian Morris Gallery on Friday for the opening reception of an exhibition my friend Sabinah will be part of.
Other plans for the week are: Watching the SATC movie (yeah I still haven't done that!), trying to visit the Boros Collection (which is open to the public since last saturday) and starting to prepare my trip to NYC aswell as my contribution to the symposium in Hamburg at the end of June (which litteraly means - READING A LOT OF BOOKS AND ESSAYS).

FUN:

FASHIONABLE FOOTBALLERS

Watching Germany's first match (against Poland in Klagenfurt) with one eye I use the other one to flip through Gala's current issue. There I discoverred a fashionable footballers ranking. Ha don't we all want to be a footballer's wife? No we don't actually! Unfortunately we won't be able to see Poshy (what a shame...). So here we go:

1. Fredrik Ljungberg (no discussion!)



2. Thierry Henry (could have been No.1 aswell!)



3. Christoph Metzelder (most certainly looks better than this right second!)
4. Christiano Ronaldo (I HATE HATE HATE this SUPER arrogant ...)
5. Fabio Cannavaro (totally indifferent)

Update: J just send me this link. If you are into "hot" italian football players you should definitely check this out. Did I mention that I am in love with Jens Lehmann - not hot at all huh? Well at least compared to those italian stallions? But hey guys I am far beyond 20!

BASEL, baby!

I am back to Berlin. And happy to had the chance to meet some other bloggers (well, I haven't been the only one who got invited by Cartier). Julia of eslux, Brian of blographic and Helen of the lux chronicles were there aswell. It's always nice to meet other nerdy blogger people (and see that they aren't that nerdy after all...). Where will we be in 10 years from now?


Update: Probably the ugliest part of beautiful Basel right next to the fair. But hey, can't you see us smiling?

DAFT PUNK'S ELECTROMA

What I like most about art basel are the littel things that happen besides the fair. For example all the other tiny art fairs like liste, volta or scope (I didn't visit any of those this year) or the programme art basel has to offer. Yesterday me and some friends went to the cinema to watch Daft Punk's Electroma. Find a summary version below (two robots who try to be human...):



by the way: The leather outfits were designed by Hedi Slimane...
Update: Please note that this is a SUMMARY which does not show the real music used for the film. I strongly recommend to see the original version!!! This looks more like a music video, but Electroma actually is a serious to be taken experimental film. While writing this it does not seem appropriate that I've posted this shorter version since it is not really able to transport the whole story - we are human after all...
