Schlossplatz, Berlin 2010 - From the series 'THIS IS NOT ART!' - image: Michel Meijer

The growing world population is increasingly seeking happiness in expanding cities. Enjoy the flair of city life and beautiful cityscapes on the postcards from ohoh.store.

Still something of sentiment on a postcard: after the demolition of Palast der Republik from 2006 to 2008, there was no building at all on the Schloßplatz. On the site where Palast der Republik stood, a grassy plain with wooden walking scaffolding was constructed. It was freely accessible to the public and could be used for picnics, sunbathing, football, art projects etc. This temporary function of the site would remain until the reconstruction of the Berliner Schloß began in 2013.

Michel Meijer photographs cityscapes, landscapes and people. Using these three disciplines, he creates photo stories about religious devotion and human activity in their own living environment. In addition, Michel Meijer works as a graphic designer and postcard publisher.

Part 1/2: Herewith my last post about the exhibition "Göttinnen & Gattinnen". It is accompanied by an interesting catalog which is available in German only. For those who can read German I show you here the contents of this book. Also, at the exhibition was the question who is ones favorite and why. The results you see in part 2

At the Altes Museum in Berlin is a temporary exhibition 'Goddesses & Consorts' (Göttinnen & Gattinnen) which runs until 16 March 2025. I show here two depictions of the mythological figure Atalante. Both objects, the vase painting and the relief, show here fighting against the nobleman Peleus at funeral games of king Pelias. On both images the fight looks like a draw.

Einige #berlin|er #museen sollen wegen angespannter Haushaltslage auch am Dienstag geschlossen bleiben bzw. werden die Öffnungszeiten eingeschränkt. Über den Sinn dieser Maßnahme, wenn der wieder ansteigende #tourismus zu den Haupteinnahmequellen der Hauptstadt gehört, diskutier ich jetzt nicht.
Betroffen sollen sein:
#altesmuseumberlin #BodeMuseum
#Kupferstichkabinett #Kunstbibliothek
#kunstgewerbemuseum #SchlossKöpenick
#mek #FriedrichswerderscheKirche
Museen nun auch dienstags zu: Vor verschlossenen Türen

Wegen der angespannten Haushaltslage schließen ab Mitte April einzelne Museen außer montags auch am Dienstag. Die Grünen finden das kontraproduktiv.
