    The Wyeths: The only family who didn’t fight at Christmas

    November 13, 2015 / 0 Comments

    Such a family imbued by fame and public praise could only have lively and refined discussions at the table during Christmas, right? That’s how I imagine them at least. Holding glasses of wine while lifting their little fingers, fondling the mustaches they probably didn't have, and taking turns to offer their aesthetically cultured opinions. Or, they could just be like the rest of us: tipsy at holiday parties and slightly aggressive with each other at family gatherings.

    What Boston Loves

    March 4, 2014 / 0 Comments

    In an attempt to manipulate the power of the Internet, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston used crowdsourcing to select pieces for its ongoing exhibition, Boston Loves Impressionism. During the month of January, the MFA held an online vote every week, garnering up to 41,000 votes. This exhibition explores the predominating artistic taste of Bostonians.   It neither focuses on the Impressionist movement nor on the individual artists, but rather highlights the connection Boston feels towards each piece. The top three selected works are undeniable favorites. Van Gogh’s Houses at Auvers received the most votes, surpassing Claude Monet’s Water Lilies by at least 1,000 total votes. The only sculpture in…

    Buddhismus zwischen Trend und Tradition

    June 12, 2013 / 0 Comments

    „Wenn der Eisenvogel fliegt und die Reitpferde auf Rädern rollen, wird der Mann aus dem Schneeland seine Heimat verlassen müssen und die buddhistische Lehre wird die Länder des rotwangigen Mannes erreichen.” Mit dieser verblüffend realitätsnahen Prophezeiung sagte einer der Begründer des Buddhismus, der Mönch Padmasambhava, bereits vor über 1200 Jahren den Erfolgskurs des buddhistischen Glaubens in Richtung Westen voraus. Ob er damals bereits ahnte, in welcher Form die spirituellen Weisheiten hierorts praktiziert werden würden, ist jedoch fraglich. Eines ist jedenfalls sicher: Der Buddhismus liegt bei uns mittlerweile voll im Trend. Die einen dekorieren mithilfe von exotischem Massivholz-Interieur und diversen Accessoires aus dem Asiashop die eigenen vier Wände zum privaten Shangri-La…

    A Searching Truth

    June 4, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Question for the day: What brings us to make particular choices? Choices which range from our music preferences to major life decisions? Religion is one such important life choice. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism… the Big 5 (in terms of the most well-known religions). Today I shall be looking at Buddhism. What is the draw? Why is it becoming more and more popular in the Western world?

    Don’t just do something – sit there.

    January 24, 2013 / 0 Comments

    In theory yoga is this beautiful, wonderful, spiritual experience that is meant to cleanse mind, body, and soul. In practice yoga causes a slew of frowned upon words to come flying out of my mouth at record speeds. It is a deep, dark torture which we, as masochists, inflict upon ourselves day after day of shaking cores, trembling arms, and ready-to-collapse legs. We stretch ourselves in ways we never thought possible, only to discover they are possible, but will we be stuck this way forever? The idea of sitting still long enough to have my portrait painted makes my muscles ache in a way that I’ve only known through Downward-Facing…

La situación del desempleo en el mundo se ha vuelto alarmante; casi mil millones de personas padecen hambre y desnutrición; las ventas y las inversiones de Coca-Cola en la India aumentan de forma pronunciada mientras unos 200 millones de indios no disponen de acceso a agua potable; Irán persiste en sus amenazas a Israel; Siria y Turquía movilizan aviones de guerra; los grandes centros comerciales, los automóviles de lujo y los pomposos rascacielos proliferan en países donde la…

    Eng an eng – Dancing with Renoir

    July 5, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Das, was heutzutage als eine altmodische Form der Annäherung an das andere Geschlecht eher belächelt wird, war zu Lebzeiten Pierre-Auguste Renoirs mit dem Paartanz wie Polka oder Walzer, um nur zwei zu nennen, bei gesellschaftlichen Anlässen aller Art der Standard und eine beliebte Beschäftigung im Ballsaal oder im Freien. Renoir bildet in vielen seiner Werke die lebensbejahenden Seiten des Lebens ab, fröhliche gesellschaftliche Zusammenkünfte, das anmutige Zusammenspiel der Tanzenden – Harmonie und Lebensfreude tauchen in vielen seinerGemälde als Grundmotive auf. Zum ersten Mal seit über 25 Jahren sind die drei etwa zwei Meter hohen Gemälde der tanzenden Paare Renoirs Tanz in Bougival, Tanz auf dem Land und Tanz in der…

    July 5, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Pour la plupart des jeunes Messieurs d’aujourd’hui, il faut bien l’avouer, la danse se limite à sauter dans tous les sens sur de la musique rock… Eh bien, Mesdemoiselles, figurez-vous qu’il était un temps où ces Messieurs savaient encore se tenir dans les soirées dansantes – les boîtes de nuit de l’époque…Un temps que, malheureusement les moins de 20 ans, etc. S’ils n’étaient pas des princes de contes de fées – qui eux aussi savent tous danser, vous l’aurez remarqué …- ils savaient au moins faire virevolter, tournoyer, chavirer (?) leur cavalière !     Regardez ces trois dames : une a les yeux mi-clos, l’autre s’appuie délicatement sur son…

    Romance us please, Renoir

    July 4, 2012 / 0 Comments

    For the first time in 26 years, Renoir’s trio of amorous dancing couples are reunited in Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. And boy, do we need some romance in our lives. Life is far from peachy at the moment in the West: stagnating economies, rising unemployment, a proliferation of extreme right-wing ideologies, decreasing social mobility, and the oxymoronically-phrased ‘negative growth’ all give rise to a rather bleak outlook. Is it any wonder that, whilst many young Westerners escape to the East in search of more prosperous times, those left on the sinking ship turn to drink, drugs, and dangerous driving in order to forget about the futility of their futures?…
