art, literature, thoughts, … all that stimulates the intellect
A small collection of snapshots featuring buildings with Jugendstil elements across Europe (Helsinki, Vienna, Prague, Munich, Trieste, Sweden).
Not to miss when in Munich by the way: Franz von Stuck’s Villa! He was frequently involved in the making of the Munich based magazine “Jugend”, which gave the name to “Jugendstil”.
2014 has seen an increasing activity when it comes to visiting dance performances! Impulstanz Festival, Vienna as well as Dansens Hus, Stockholm have helped a lot!

Cecilia Bengolea & François Chaignaud: Dub Love
Andersson Dance: Residual bits of sunlight
Cullbergbaletten: Works
Kyle Abraham: Pavement
and still to come:
3x Theater in Wien! “Claus Peymann kauft sich eine Hose und geht mit mir essen” (Bernhard) – MIT Claus Peymann! – im Akademietheater, “Schön schön schön” Wittenbrink Liederabend (was Leichtes zwischendurch) in den Kammerspielen, und schlussendlich “Liebelei” (Schnitzler) im Theater in der Josefstadt.
Mit Otti Schenk. Nach der Vorstellung:
Er: Und, der Schenk?
Sie: – Unwahrscheinlich!
DAS ist Theater!
The artist-sculptor Carl Milles and his Austrian wife Olga bought a plot in Stockholm’s suburb Lidingö in 1906 and had an italian-style villa built there in 1908, which got constantly enlarged over the years and later on turned into a museum now known as Millesgården. It is a place as picturesque as it is unique and a visit can only be highly recommended to every visitor of Stockholm!
