Anna Nymos - a star is born

So we went to the exhibition opening (an exhibition called ANONYMOUS consisting of 17 pieces of anonymous art) in the Schirn and it was totally weird as expected and totally cooler than expected but not because of the exhibition but because of the great wine and the people around...

But let me recap all events of the day first. Let's start with a little something called politeness. If I get an invitation from a friend, I usually tell this friend if I intend to join or not or to f*** off or leave me alone and never write me another email - but I normally never ignore such things. Ok, maybe I am just a weirdo...

Anyway - in the end Maike, Eugenio, Yara, Stefan and Alba showed up, some of us too early, some of us a little later. Some of us did find each other, some left before finding the rest, some left after finding some, etc. In any case - the exhibition was really strange - looking at things without the names of the artists totally puts things into another perspective. You know, like when you are staring at an unidentifiable creation in a gallery and try to appreciate it because it is supposedly art. This time you could not be sure if it was art or some photo taken by the son of the president of the Schirn or whatever. Still the things were quite interesting - a series of photos of stuff outside with holes dug up on every photo - a photo of white cars, a series of boats hanging from the ceiling with little movies inside of things moving suddenly out of the ordinary. Like a turtle or a sudden flame. Did I mention the wine?

So after the exhibition when we lost Eugenio and Maike we went for Chinese and Alba also joined us. We had fantastic food – for sure we will return – and the best thing of the day was, that my bicycle with the stolen seat was still there where I left it – although in August the Ordnungsamt put a sticker on it asking me to get rid of it within 7 days... I am glad the efficiency is not up to German standards. Hmm, wait a minute ...
