Wellenflug_sillas voladoras

Ya de vuelta en München, y con las pilas recargadas. ¿Cómo se llama la atracción que hay a veces en las ferias, las "sillas voladoras", en alemán? : Wellenflug, traducido al español sería : vuelo de olas/vuelo ondulado (Welle: ola/onda+Flug: vuelo). En estos pequeños matices se encuentran infinitas diferencias. Esos infinitos matices que extraño tanto de Madrid. Hay que realinear las piezas. Es lo que toca. Sin juzgar ni analizar, simplemente estar atenta. El modo Robot -do, do, do- pasa a convertirse en Awareness. Estamos en otra época. Otra etapa. Mucho más cerca de la luz.

oberfranken

unos días hermosos en Bayreuth, con una familia que poco a poco voy conociendo más, los padres de Detlef. Y a diferencia de mi familia, siempre intensa, siempre corriendo, siempre con tanto por hacer, la calma de los Schneider me reconforta. Es un lugar al que se puede llegar y descansar, recuperarse. También es el ritmo de la gran ciudad. El tiempo en Madrid posee una consistencia totalmente distinta a la de Bayreuth y Oberfranken, con sus caminos y paseos entre bosque alemán, graneros cubiertos de lojas de madera que se tornan verdes por la capa de moos (musgo) que se asienta sobre ellas. Ir a visitar fábricas de cerveza artesanales - Franken es la región del mundo con mayor densidad de Brauereien (Beer breweries) del mundo por kilómetro cuadrado, como la Kathi Bräu, una casa que hace cerveza desde el año 1500, con un pequeño restaurante en el que te sirven la cerveza que hacen ellos mismos siguiendo esa tradición. Una cerveza Bock- negra- no oscura negra del todo, más bien marrón oscura, de malta tostada, con sabor a caramelo, monte, acogedora, de las que te quitan el frío cuando llega la nieve. Y paseando por las colinas y el bosque, me venían imágenes del pasado: coches de caballos, 1 doctor para toda la zona, pequeñas laternes para iluminar la oscuridad del campo alemán, una pintura de Caspar David Friedrich. Una estampa mucho más alemana en sí (naturaleza, paisaje, carácter de la gente) que la que percibo en Bayern (Baviera), con sus montañas y los Alpes, más bien una excepción en relación al resto de Germania. Pero en esa calma, esa modestia y discrección, ese increíble saltar de paisajes que pertenecen a Schelling y a Goethe, y estar en 2013 y que muchas cosas no hayan cambiado; esa oportunidad de vivencia con la que me siento en armonía. Experiencias que se quedan, sin ápices de ser algo que no son. Sin contaminar. Poder compartir todo ello con mi pareja es francamente hermoso.

Soooo ....Lecker...deliciosaaaa

@ Walter Storms Gallerie München/ Detlef Schneider´s Film for Des Artistes

Back to Munich the works piles up, but after the italian break with la familia all seems to be fiiineee. one of the reasons we shortened our italian days was this abend @ Walter Storms Gallerie to present the last film Detlef -talented photographer & filmer, and also my boyfriend- has done for Des Artistes. Behind Des Artistes are our beloved friends Frederick and Polly Bäumler and the idea ist folgendes: t-shirts that are used by artists as a canvas. Some artists that have already collaborated with des artistes: Ai Weiwei, Edward Mapplethorpe / Patti Smith, Zhou Brothers, Helga Baümler, Carrie Marill, Carol Joost and Rupert Geiger among many others -btw, from this new collection i really love the tee with Geiger´s work! with those super flashy_ bright_amaaazing colours-. As well part of the sales of Des Artistes go to charity. To present its upcoming collection Des Artistes worked with Detlef and his team in a film featuring the classical ballet dancers Lucia Lacarra -Prima Ballerina of the Bayerisches Staatsballet- and her husband, the also dancer Marlon Dino. A beautiful and talented couple. So...It really was a marvellous reason to come back to Munich, a night where art, fashion and ballet hanged out together in a lovely evening. Big Thanks to Polly and Frederick for such a nice night, and bravo to Detlef since the film is so amazinggg! ;) Des Artistes will be featured pretty soon in VOLTA since is a idea we deeply love since we know it which is a while but we take things with calm! ;) more about Des Artistes : Des Artistes is an eco-conscious line of conceptual tees featuring work from notable and emerging contemporary artists. The t-shirt works as a canvas to inspire and explore the human spirit. Des Artistes reflects a creative mindset that is fueled by art, showcasing artists from a range of backgrounds, genres, ages and cultures to carry on the brand's ongoing evolution. Every artist is acknowledged on every tee, rightfully so. Des Artistes strives to us the finest organic and sustainable fabrics in combination with super low-impact water-based inks. The aim is to make awareness with real art that inspires. To that end, a portion of sales will benefit a different charitable cause each season.
