Swaantje GüntzelThe old days II
This is another work I found while rummaging through my digital photo albums. Back from the days when I used to stroll through the Westphalian forests together with Jan Philip Scheibe and we made art just for the sake of art. Here we equipped hunting stands with flower boxes. The boxes contained red geraniums.

The old days
Over the last few days, I’ve been rummaging through my digital photo albums and found a few old works from the times when I used to stroll through the Westphalian forests together with Jan Philip Scheibe and we just made art for the sake of art. For this one we mounted a photo wallpaper ("Paradise") onto panels and staged it in the forest. There were more spruce trees back then.

Toshisada UtsunomiyaMy new SSRN paper, “The Price of Freedom,” links the Russia–Ukraine war, energy sanctions, Japan’s return to nuclear power, and the debt we leave to future generations. It also argues we must move beyond the 377-year-old Westphalian state system toward shared planetary responsibility.

Freedom2BI have some ancestors who lived in Düsseldorf and Neuwied, Germany in the late 1500s and early 1600s. My ancestral relatives moved from Düsseldorf to Neuwied in the early 1600s. As they moved south on the Rhein, their surname also changed, from Gartner to Graat to Gradt. They were farmers who remained connected to the Catholic Church until my direct ancestors moved to New Amsterdam (modern New York). I am curious about two things:
* What might have caused them to move.
* What kinds of political, cultural, religious, and/or linguistic impacts might have caused them to change the spelling of their surname.

Early Modern Diplomacy (@[email protected])
Today, on 24 October, is German Library Day. On this day, 377 years ago, the Westphalian peace treaties were signed which ended the Thirty Years' War. On the one hand, this is just a coincidence in dates. The Germany’s national Library Day commemorates the foundation of the first German public library in Hayn (Saxony) in 1829. On the other hand, the Westphalian peace treaties were also relevant for early modern libraries.
