Old Style Manco Dingo Go Kart

Columba and coffee in Cologne



On this rainy Sunday, we meet up with C. and R. in Cologne to us, "Noli me tangere" together in the current exhibition Kolumba to look at. Weather conditions are the factors that we travel by car instead of the web. So we can listen to music: the latest discs from Les Hommes Sauvages, PJ Harvey, Ana Calvi and Zaz (more on that later). In the center of Cologne, fences, bleachers waiting for us for the carnival days, costumed revelers on the streets now.







The museum, which we visited last two years, there again this stimulating blend of contemporary secular and religious of traditional art. Not everything is like us and the quality gap size. But discovering the great, high and wide spaces of Peter Zumthor's museum with the dull concrete walls and through the beautiful and views (floor to ceiling windows) we have enough, what arouses our interest and inspired us.






addition to the rooms themselves, it has impressed me most this time Paul Thek sculpture "Fishman" (1969) . A life-size male figure, latex models, which drives, lying on his back, arms outstretched like a corpse in the room and to which fish have docked. The flat shadows of man and fish is no less exciting than their three-dimensional representation. Even in some of the sacred Sculptures, altarpieces and paintings I find interesting details that I pick me with the camera. The fact that photography is permitted at all, is a further advantage of this museum.






We then let us taste a few blocks away in a nice coffee cake and coffee, chat with C. and R., the we have not seen her for a few months. Then we part ways again. When we see the return of the Media Park immediately no free parking, we start from home. The reconstructed Photo exhibition New Topograhics " wait. Maybe another time
