As I write this post, coming from the central station of Bologna, I think for a moment what happened 30 years ago who was there as someone to accompany me to take a train ...
Many argue that the state itself was to create terror several times because Italy was on the verge of a coup. I do not know who or what, I was not even born, but who lose their lives were innocent people who were there by chance. And who sends innocent people to the creator is an animal without knowledge of what is good, and when he goes to the creator (because sooner or later we all will), his soul will be treated as that of a hyena, or a stray dog, or of a cockroach. Treatment will not noble, that beings created in the "image and likeness of God "make the final step. It 's the famous" Judgement .
This year, no representative of the state, more so, is the "shame" to which they submit annually with hypocrisy, just to give voice to some pack of wolves.
I had been in Bern, in the story of the trip in summer 2010, Switzerland. The truth is that I chose the hotel in France at Saint Louis on the Rhine for more than .. Tariff I chose it because I can communicate with the natives, and they can fool me with a little 'more difficult.
It' s a strange land borders with Switzerland, France and Germany are deserted, so there is no great harm and especially you pay with euros, not bad.
The point of "supply" becomes a supermarket, Geant "I also GPL in self-service (this time I trained with the green button and I'm not a fool!).
Basel, a city on the Rhine, the "three borders", the only Swiss with a navigable harbor, the one with the oldest university, here are Novartis, Ciba- BASF, Roche are not a legend. And the fair is well known, here we are, where Art Basel able to eat on his head to ' Bologna Art Fair and all the other reviews italianotte. It is here that international financial arrangements, as well as be the cornerstone of UBS . All things that you can find wandering around the periphery, or making you walk in the pedestrian historical center with its shops and the red town hall. The majority of people live in countries of the periphery (Basel-Landschaft ), you'll soon realize the enormous amount of green tram running, the rails are everywhere, constant maintenance, rain and wind accompany my stay here.
Parking near Aeschenplatz, 5th basement is completely full! The Kunstmuseum Basel
is close to the Rhine, full of visitors, there are here three temporary, one on Gabriel Orozco with his Citroen sized "compact". He plans to visit three, the learning is disseminated in small rooms on the ground floor you will find statues and paintings by Giacometti, Klee, Picasso, Matisse, video installations in the courtyard ( Richard Serra) and contemporary sculptures (Bruce Nauman). If you take the central staircase, the mezzanine has a lot of crayons Rosemarie Trockel , while upstairs is megacollezione of ancient paintings, many "splits" of Hans Holbein (not so many will never see more) . In dozens of rooms are open, between here and the top floor, lots of works by van Gogh, Bocklin, Monet, Kokoschka, Chagall, Picasso, Nolde, and so on. On top floor, in "pigeon", the most recent and temporary megamostre. Here, too, give a pin to be applied to your shirt, and luckily there is a porch with benches to eat a sandwich during the rain and 19 ° C in July that here are no exception!
The ticket entitles you to enter the Museum für Gegenwartskunst , 15 minute walk away, another "box" connected to the museum. Arriving there, and I find myself as an idiot an exhibition of Rodney Graham and the movie projected from an antique car to a typewriter that is sprinkled with flour. Same view MACBA Barcelona 5 months ago ... you saw in the museums that turn you find the same things. There I found myself John Baldessari after seeing him at the Tate Modern. Ok, on the third floor there is a sort of small permanent Beuys, and the area is pretty lungoreno.
One would spend a week just to see everything here, I'm pleased with a visit to Germany, going towards the town of Weil am Rhein . There is a factory-museum stilosissima Vitra, in an exhibition on the design composed of 180 pieces of each type, the first toilet paper in 1920, the first post-it, until the chairs in carbon fiber, and the chair bauhaus original. There is also exposed to Indian car, the Tata Nano , which costs about 1500 €, about how their mobile. Every hour there is a guided tour round the plants, it's Saturday and the factory is closed ... the "shop" where you can also, with a special pass, take a tour of the production of Vitra and see the first completed building designed by Zaha Hadid some .
Going to Switzerland, meets Riehen, a village nearly anonymous if not for the Beyeler Foundation , superavanguardia center of contemporary art, there is a solo exhibition with hundreds of books, movies etc on the life . to that of Basquiat Same Old Shit, graffiti walls in 1978, in 1982, he outlined his many works already in the middle world, and its way of life led him to the grave for 28 years. A bit 'the James Dean of contemporary art, rare to see him exposed. The building, Renzo Piano always has a party with underground installations of Felix Gonzalez-Torres , food made of candy that slowly take away the spectators, mangiandosele (they are also good), giving the sense work of art. He who died of AIDS in his work and takes the representation of the disease course, it also replicates that of the leaves gradually become less and less, and that blows bulbs to be replaced. Eating the candy becomes a piece of art work ... ideally forever. As escape?
This museum (admission dear, about € 18) also has an exhibition of the permanent collection, that the gentlemen Beyeler were able to 'pick up' and expose for the first time almost 30 years ago at the Reina Sofia in Madrid. Matisse, Giacometti, Cezanne, Picasso, still find space.
around there are so many other places ( Tinguely Museum, Kunstmuseum Winterthur to name two) but time is running out, and brings us to the other industrial cities, the largest of Switzerland: Zurich.
The weather is clement, a beautiful sun softens the gray metropolis of Switzerland. I still do not understand even half a word of German speak here, even a simple auf wiedersehen is pronounced with a potato in your mouth, it seems of vidàrzònn.
The hotel I booked is near, he attacked a McDonald's, and did not miss a free outdoor parking for customers' machines. Although the park has 400 rooms underground, at a very high price! Yet here in the middle of the moor! Then I put the car 1 km, near the houses of the village of Rumlang , looking a thousand times that there is no sign of any kind for the stop, then takes two steps.
Zurich is deserted on Sunday morning, because there's a damn marathon race that the pedestrian boulevard of General Guisan, the overlooking the lake ... The old town is built precisely at the end of the lake where the river Limmat begins. Find a car then it is a lottery: the streets are nearly all the parking spaces reserved for residents with fetentissime blue lines that lead the average European to park in the belief that both charges. The parking meter is charged on the white lines at the rate specified in the notice, luckily I put in a dead-end street just behind the grigissima Bahnof Enge ... I discover with amazement and free parking on holidays! Ole!
Rieterpark by foot, a beautiful green hill, almost out of place in the gray-General, there is Rietberg Museum, one of the largest museums art "oriental". There's all ancient Chinese art, Japanese, Vietnamese, Oceania. The museum is mostly underground, the entrance is a green glass cube, then the collection takes possession of two houses in the park, which you can access with the ubiquitous pin that give you the entrance. Memorable exposure to second on underground ' Buddhist sacred art of Bhutan . I've never seen anywhere a setting like this: there are just inside the Buddhist monks, an attempt to compose a colored sand mandala, along with a veritable altar with the offerings, incense ... 9 rooms with dozens of organized groups that go all the time, I hit with the buzz from a German while I'm trying to get free, I have my time in contemplation and learning in the work itself. Then the works are kept very well, I have no idea who they really come from Buddhist temples, and are a source of meditation today.
Given the foot race I try to walk to another imposing structure, the last of which will visit Switzerland, the Kunsthaus . Coveted goal of any fan of visual art, I get it already "baked" wrong way several times and making a wild goose in order to avoid runners. The visit, however, rewards the efforts made, the rooms have phenomenal. Those on the ground floor, below, devoted to Giacometti, the microtest, classic tapered, the dog, the paintings. On the first floor, a dozen works by Hodler , the finest collection ever seen, then there is an entire room reserved for the 'indigenous' Füssli , here's "sin followed by death." On the top, in one room houses the portrait with ear cut of van Gogh , and beautiful masterpieces of Chagall, Monet (four huge ' lilies'), Kokoschka, Matisse, Renoir ... Well worth seeing. There is also a new wing dedicated to contemporary art (from Mondrian to Cy Twombly).
Unfortunately somewhere in the section devoted to ancient art (here Bernardo Bellotto find space and Domenichino!) I lose myself in the custody of the phone are ok, 9 €, not anyone tell me "I fell." Like hell, step back twice, but nothing. Ended up in the pockets of some other visitors? Some guardiasala? Now ...
then finish with the pick up my things from the wardrobe, the shutters come down, everything closes. I reach the car and away I go back to Italy ... more than 4 hours away, I have yet to understand why the first section of the Gotthard seems an obstacle course, a horrible asphalt, and inside the tunnel to the outside temperature rises above 34 ° C, out on both sides there will be half grades!
