Arts.21

Today ARTS.21 begins its Grand Tour 2010 – with culture from the Baltic Sea to the Alps. And we show you how artists are responding to the current ethos of change for change's sake with a new trend to “slow down.” We also meet with German-Jewish author Benjamin Stein and go to the Rheinland to visit houses designed by architect Richard Neutra, the master of Hollywood Modernism.

On the Road in the Summer – GRAND TOUR 1 in the North

Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift:

This summer our ARTS.21 reporters set off on a Grand Tour in a Beetle convertible.

Our first stop is a cloister in Germany's far north, the site of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Music Festival. 20 years ago, it was still an insider's tip for great music in unusual locations; today it’s one of the biggest German music festivals, boasting everything from percussion beats within cloister walls, to poetry readings in a seafarer's church, to a piano concert on the beach.

SLOW DOWN – Artists decelerate a speeding world

Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift:

The yearning to escape the ever-accelerating pace of life in a globalized world is becoming increasingly powerful.

In the exhibition "Fast Forward 2: The Power of Motion" at the Karlsruhe Center for Art and Media, artists use video and media installations to respond to the breakneck pace of today – with slowness.

Identity and Memory – German-Jewish author Benjamin Stein

Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift:

Benjamin Stein is a computer specialist, management consultant and novelist. Born in East Berlin, Stein's new novel is titled «Die Leinwand», which is scheduled to appear as «The Canvas» in English translation.

The story can be read from the front or the back, with the novel's two narrators meeting in the middle… a literary discovery and a fascinating page-turner about the nature of German-Jewish identity.

Hollywood Architecture Rediscovered – Richard Neutra in Europe

Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift:

Vienna-born architect Richard Neutra's mansions in Hollywood are the stuff of legend. But his designs in Europe, and especially those in Wuppertal, Germany, are far less known.

For the first time ever, his projects from his last decade as a designer are on display at a major exhibition in the MarTa Herford museum in Herford, Germany.
