Glyptothek

Wanted to have a coffee in the Glyptothek, had heard a lot about it. So I went through the book store into the gorgeous cafe, ordered instead and inspired a white wine instead of coffee and opened my laptop to type some stuff. After 5 minutes this guard came and said I am not allowed to sit here but have to pay entrance fee 50,- kronen. Mmhh. I apologized and said I would pay later and she disappeard. But I could see she watched me through the palm trees and came back 5 minutes later saying I have to pay now and that she had been very friendly (guess I don’t want to see her unfriendly). So I payed my 50 kronen and ended up staying a few hours in this building that turned out to be one of the finest collections of art I have ever seen.

Rodin – are his figures coming out of ‚matter’ or dissolving back into ‚matter’? Corot – that light! Van Gogh’s obsessiveness. The Roman and Egyptian sculptures blew me away. I know it but .. it amazes me again and again that they could depict realistic figure 1000s years ago and the following cultures forgot it. Thinking about collective forgetting, about cultures rising, cultures falling.. A few hours later in te sauna one guy mentioned he had heard that some aboriginal Australian tribes on purpose decided to not reproduce any more.
