1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

It was a busy day gallery hopping yesterday, and, as exciting as making new friends, it was my first time visiting all those galleries although it's my fourth visit to Berlin.  I spent most of my time in the Lindenstraße Galerienhaus (with more than half a dozen art galleries open yesterday) but I found my most favourite show in another part of town.  If you know how big a Kraftwerk fan I am, you won't be surprised to see why I love 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 at Berlin's Sprüth Magers.  It's a 3D video installation by my all-time most favourite band.  The title of the installation refers to the eight videos they are showing in 3D:

1. Autobahn (1974)
2. Radio-Aktivität (1975)
3. Trans Europa Express (1977)
4. Die Mensch-Maschine (1978)
5. Computerwelt (1981)
6. Techno Pop (1986)
7. The Mix (1991)
8. Tour de France (2003)

Here are some stills of the video projection:

I even got these 3D-spectacles they provided as a priceless souvenir:

Trans-Europe Express

I was in Switzerland's Schaffhausen this past weekend - no wi-fi was available anywhere. Hallen für Neue Kunst was what brought me there. Being the mecca for lovers of contemporary art (minimal art), the Hallen was expected to be THE highlight of my entire trip, and I was not disappointed. Unfortunately, photography was not allowed.  Too bad I cannot share the great works of my favourite artists here.

Leaving Schaffhausen this morning, I continued my journey on a Trans-Europe-Express ...

Musique Non-stop

From 1986, not the best Kraftwerk song but loving the animation.
