Untitled, 2011 Juan Duque
Two months ago, Juan Duque allowed Platform3 welcome warmly. The Colombian artist who is domiciled in Belgium, opened on 25 January his first solo exhibition in Germany.
Under the title of "mediation" Juan Duque designed four new, site-specific installations that deal with the urban context of Platform3 in Schwabing. He chooses a mediating position in a process that the boundaries between "inside" and "external", "natural area" and "Urban Space" and "nomadism" and "identity" encompasses continuous.
Juan Duque worked with light and ephemeral materials such as paper, photography and video to transfer to natural phenomena such as wind, rain and vegetation in the showroom.
Opening: 25th January, 19:00-21:00

Mon / Tue / Thu-Sat 11:00 to 19:00, Wed 12:00 to 20:00

The Rolling Stone is not alone in his protest: these days, celebrities wouldn't be seen dead at Davos.
Mick Jagger snubs David Cameron's Davos party.
You probably already know this, but every morning, adult-contempo British prime minister David Cameron combs in his side parting, adjusts his tie and jives with his reflection in the bathroom mirror while singing: "I've got the moves like Jagger, I've got the moves like Jagger, I've got the mo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooves like Jagger."
So do imagine his disappointment to be blown out for a World Economic Forum event by none other than Sir Mick, who apparently didn't like being used as a "political football".
I assume the Rolling Stone meant "political pawn", but the story is as follows. It is fast becoming universally accepted that Cameron and his chancellor George Osborne know better than absolutely anybody else how to boost Britain's economy – and to this end someone in No 10 decided to encourage investment in the UK by organising a celebrity tea party at Davos. Like I said, they know best.
Star guests at this event would be Jagger and the model Lily Cole, and it would be hosted by Boris Johnson. Yup, face it: the combination of old rocker, miscast female sublebrity, and MC BoJo hasn't looked this winsome since Britain filled eight minutes of the Beijing Olympic Games closing ceremony with a Jimmy Page guitar solo, Leona Lewis and Boris arsing about with the flag handover.
Unfortunately, Tory bragging about having secured Mick as a guest infuriated the singer so much that he pulled out.
"During my career I have always eschewed party politics and came to Davos as a guest, as I thought it would be stimulating," ran his statement on the matter. "I have always been interested in economics and world events. I now find myself being used as a political football and there has been a lot of comment about my political allegiances, which are inaccurate. I think it's best I decline the invitation to the key event and curtail my visit."
Well! Lost in Showbiz hasn't been able to model how many more children will have to be plunged into poverty because the Jagger cupcake stimulus has malfunctioned. But I can tell you that the bottom has already fallen out of the headline market, with efforts such as Sympathy for Davos illustrating how desperate things have got.
Elsewhere on the mountain, meanwhile, a curious thing seems to have happened to the World Economic Forum's star count. Never the quickest to cotton on, a certain troupe of celebrities appear finally to have realised that swanning round Davos doesn't make them look big or clever.
In fact, in the eyes of the people who buy their records or watch their movies, drinking cocktails in Klosters with a bunch of impotent politicians and bailed-out masters of the universe makes them look like plonkers of the first water. Consider the most glaring of the no-shows. Where is Angelina Jolie, who was an invited speaker for several years running in the last decade, and revealed she had designed a tattoo for Brad Pitt's back one night in Davos "when we didn't have anything to do"? Where is Sharon Stone, who commandeered a session one year and cocked up an entire funding drive for anti-malarial mosquito nets in Tanzania? Where are former feted guests such as Lionel Richie and Michael Douglas? Most pressingly, where is Bono, who currently appears to be missing his first Davos for years? All manner of stars have decided that taking the mountain air this year would be most toxifying for their brand.
As yet, none of them have made the inevitable leap to the other side. But there are still a few days to go, and my own fevered hope is for someone – come on, Clooney! – to emerge from an OccupyDavos igloo and announce that the entertainment industry has formally shifted its bloc vote.

The Gärtnerplatztheater presents: moment linger
Moment linger in the gardener bursts Heather at MünchenAm 2/3/2012 presents Hans Henning Paar the premiere of his latest choreography for Munich as a dance head of Gärtnerplatztheater "moment, dwell" is a very personal evening of dance and life with the dance to the music of Tchaikovsky, the aptly subtitled "An evening of dancing to music by Peter I. Tchaikovsky" bears. The combination of the unique lifestyle of the dance with Tchaikovsky's deeply emotional music are the subject of staging, which sets Hans Henning Paar at the culmination of his artistic work with the company of dance theater munich, which is on the line change and the upcoming theater restoration even from the big changes. Hans Henning Paar shall forward from next season, the dance division of the theater in Münster.
What the music of Tchaikovsky for Hans Henning Paar makes it so special? A life in dance is almost always a life to the music of Tchaikovsky. His compositions accompany all dancers at some point in their lives. Their sounds, their emotions are deeply rooted in the body of the dancer. A central theme in the lives of many dancers is the instability: A Life on the search, characterized by a kind of homelessness, the constant coming and going due to short-term exposures. Feelings of longing and restlessness are also an important issue and drive many artists. Fixed reference point is the passion for the dance, which binds them with like-minded people for a certain period at a location. The desire completely absorbed in the art, is fulfilled for the dancers in the short transcendent moment on stage, where he escapes the real world and becomes one with the movement and music.
Moment linger in the gardener bursts Heather in MünchenErstaunlich many parallels exist between the dancing reality of life and the biography of the greatest ballet composer of music history: Even Tchaikovsky's life was marked by travel, the constant search and escape from themselves homesickness and loneliness were his constant companions. Artistic creation, both passion and discipline, offered him a refuge from emotional turmoil, dissatisfaction and self-doubt.

Retrospective in Flimmuseum: Buster Keaton
The Munich Film Museum pays tribute to the work of Buster Keaton with a retrospective until 25.02.2012 will take place in Munich Film Museum, a retrospective with live music accompaniment to the films of the legendary Buster Keaton. For silent film fans begin the year at the Film Museum in well: A total of 17 programs with short and long feature films of the comedian Keaton are shown, including classics like "The Navigator" (1924), "Go West" (1925) and "The Cameraman" (1928) .

Buster Keaton, who was born in 1895, Joseph Francis Keaton in Kansas in 1966 and died in Los Angeles, was due to his stoic facial expression and "Stone Face" or "The man who never laughed," called. In addition to Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd, he is one of the greatest comedians of the silent film era. He was known to perform well-defying stunts in his films himself. With his talent he made acrobatic career as a child in vaudeville, he appeared before the age of twenty in the films of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle. Three years later he began producing his own, very successful comedies such as "One Week" (1920). From 1920 to 1923, produced and directed 19 short Buster Keaton films, including such famous works as "The Scarecrow," "Neighbors" and "The Paleface". Ten feature films produced between 1923 and 1928.
In the wake of the financial failure of his elaborate movie "The General" (1926) Keaton was an actor in 1928 at MGM. 1933, he was - now an alcoholic - quit and he got slowly into oblivion. In the 1950s, the rediscovery and appreciation of his technically innovative silent film comedies, which are now counted among the most significant works of film history.

San Francisco - are made of Jordi & Scarlett & Josh & Nick are partly reminiscent of the Kooks but very strong - but also what is not objectionable, since the quality of their songs currently on a similarly high if not higher level lies.
