can you see the horizon?

This week, I spent a really nice day with two of my best friends in the city of Hamburg. We did all the things you probably do, when you're a tourist in the Hanseatic city: shopping, eating at Vapiano, go to the theatre and the museum.
 So, I finally got the chance to see the installation "Horizon Field Hamburg" by Anton Gormley. If you're visiting Hamburg at the moment, you should definetly stop by the exhibition halls of the Deichtorhallen and see it, too. Until September, you can experience this huge platform, hanging on steel cables over 7 metres from the ground there.

It's quite impressive and it's for free! I advise you to go there during the week, so the rush isn't too big. 

You can get more information here: www.deichtorhallen.de

It's almost like walking on water: "Horizon Field Hamburg" by Anton Gormley, Deichtorhallen.

hartelijk gefeliciteerd JAN FABRE!

And all the best to one of my favourite artists, who turns 53 today!
Since I discovered him about two years ago, his work fascinates me. The colour blue, BIC ballpen drawings, beetles and cigarette smoke are only a few things I associate with his artistic cosmos. But he doesn't only work in the studio but also with his theatre group called Troubleyn.
I highly recommend you to check out his website angelos.be and the homepage of his theatre company Troubleyn.

Here is a video from this year's Biennale of which Fabre was part of. During a press conference he talked about his homeland Belgium, populism, forbidden things in art and about his work.
