歴史的な埋葬

およそ1500の墓は今まで覆いを取られた。 埋葬の期間は第8から第4世紀から紀元前に伸びる。この期間で、ローマ帝国がただゆっくり現れ始めていたときにHallstattは'の結果として既に広範な貿易関係を用いる豊かなコミュニティだった; industrial' 塩の生産。 骨組の多数は、鉱山の堅く物理的な仕事のショーの印見つけた。 Hallstattの埋葬地はminers'である; 墓地。

他の埋葬の変化は通常の仰向けの位置のそれらに先端の異なった位置を含んでいる。 腕および足はvarioiusの角度にあり、時々身体の姿勢は珍しい。 埋葬の供物は頭部またはヒップの区域にボディに直接、頻繁に置かれる。

ヨハンゲオルグRamsauer (1795年- 1874年)マスター抗夫は岩塩坑の東の出口近くにいたHallstattの有史以前の埋葬地で組織的考古学的な発掘を始める第1だった。

彼は1848年と1863年の間に合計年の980の墓を開けた。 ドキュメンテーションのenormoous容積は墓および考古学的な発見を説明する多くの水彩画の包含と覆いを取られる墓のdescripionsと発掘の詳細記録を含む彼の掘削自身にある。

Beatles RoofTop Concert 1969

Time is flying. The girls that screamed their hearts out at the Rock Concerts in the 50ies & 60ies have now become old ladies.

This above 'artwork' of mine should be somehow melancholic ;)

Elvis Presley and a lot of other great musicians got the US already moving in the 50ies. 

OMG, what are they doing up there?

With the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Kinks and ... the phenomenon Pop Music, (or Rock Music) started to develop a major influence on the European Youth. 

John Lennon concentrating in the midst of Londons roofs.

Musicians turned to 'prophets', some in-, some out of the mainstream. Astonishing, what a few people can do with some guitars & drums.

Paul Mc Cartney. Was he angry that day? Well, decisions happened.

40 years ago, (and in a glimpse it will be 50 ;) on January 30, 1969 the Beatles performed their last concert on the roof - atop of their own Apple building (Savile Row, close to Piccadilly Circus).

George Harrison reall dugg Indian Music & practised it too.

There are videos about this event at youtube. I do share one here and give two more links which pretty much cover the whole rooftop concert.

Ringo Star, mostly always happy & relaxed.

The Video is right underneath the pic of Yoko Ono.

Lots of fans were angry at Yoko Ono when the Beatles broke up. Made her responsible.

 However John Lennon made it clear, that 10 years would be enough.

And now the Video:

Aids Arts BloggersUnite

Arts and Aids

First, some words about this action:
December 1st, is World Aids Day. ( #WAD08 ). Worldwide, an estimated 33 million people are living with HIV. In the United States an estimated one million Americans are living with HIV. AIDS.gov is partnering with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and Blog Catalog for Bloggers Unite on World AIDS Day 2008. This event encourages bloggers from around the world to dedicate their blog posts on December 1, 2008 (World AIDS Day) to issues related to HIV/AIDS.

Queen Life Aid Concert Freddie Mercury
13.07.1985, London (Wembley Stadium), England

Another reason for this post was a comment of Michael Buitron at DontCall that led my attention to his BlogPost: Day without Arts

There he says:
"Almost twenty years ago, the first "Day Without Art" took place as a way to remember those who have died of AIDS--and the impact the virus has had on the arts community.
A New York Times article from that era captures a sampling of some 800 events that happened in museums, galleries and symphony halls across the nation.

Today, looking at the on-line calendars for MOCA, The Getty, LACMA, and The Hammer, only the Getty lists events that mark the day. Does silence still equal death?"

Well, to break this silence ;) I dedicate this Blog Post to the great musician and artist Freddie Mercury.

Grace Jones Hurricane

Today November 7th 2008 is the time of the official release of Grace Jones new album 'Hurricane'.

Photo: Video 'Demolitian Man'.

The powerful Lady (born sometime around 1950 in Kingston Jamaica) is far from stepping back into the unknown. No, she's stepping forward, carrying some needed messages and from her recent shows and performances one can say, that she's in best bodily and spiritual condition.

Demolitian Man ...

Outstanding in her new album is the song 'Corporate Cannibal':

Dia de los Muertos

Dia de los Muertos es uno de los días de fiesta mexicanos más importantes al principio de noviembre. Recuerdan a los muertos. La muerte no es que algo uno tiene que temer, él puede visto sobre con ironía. Muerte como parte de vida. Una vez al año (un viejo aspecto mexicano) la vuelta muerta para hacer un banquete con la vida. Muerte también vista sobre como el comienzo a una nueva vida, una transición a otra forma de ser. Vea quizá a esta procesión de Tucson Arizona, mi amigo Ketogah enviado esto a mí.

(Dia de los Muertos is one of the most important Mexican holidays at the beginning of November. The dead are remembered.
Death is not something one has to fear, it can seen upon with irony. Death as a part of life. Once a year (an old Mexican aspect) the dead return to make a feast with the living. Death also seen upon as the start to a new life, a transition to another form of being.
Maybe see this procession from Tucson Arizona, my friend Ketogah sent this to me).

Financial Crisis George Katrina

Yes, you can take it for granted that people would talk behind your back about you if you had told them that the upcoming financial crisis had or has or will have something to do with a kind of unhappy love story of a certain George with a certain Katrina, oh yes, you bet.

Politicians are responsible people, well, at least should be. Or they are made responsible for ... kind of everything that happens in the time of their 'popularity'.

Proper and exact science (whatever that is) tells us, that the ongoings in the sky, in the weather, the way how the birds fly, how bowels look like (ehem, remember the ancient greeks etc.) have nothing to do with the practical happenings on our earth. Hm, the idea of the 'butterfly effect' teaches us something different. Nevertheless ...

Once we experience to be in the middle of a 'turmoil', when things get turned upside down and/or inside out ... minds can tell us something completely different.

On the other side (which side?): Some things don't change: The poor stay poor. And more and more people become poor. Who cares? You tell!

Are we flooded with paper money that's actually not worth ANYTHING? Does this money just live by the power we give it through believing in it?

Project BlueBird produced a video on 'George and Katrina'. A video in the spiritual tradition of the late 60ies when people DID GO unto the streets and to Washinton to PROTEST against the war in Vietnam. Are wars so easy to forget, Napalm etc.?

Butterfly Effect CaterPillar

The song 'Stop crying your heart out' of Oasis offers some kind of reflections on the 'BUTTERFLY EFFECT'. I've assembled a playlist here where you can see some videos on this subject.

In the fall of 1976 two couples got married at a town in Germany: Osnabrück. The one couple was me and my wife and the names of the other couple were Zach & Priscilla (both Americans).
Zach and Priscilla soon drifted apart. Zach had a car accident in the States, with some heavy injuries. In the happy days of this fall of 1976 Zach was often singing a song of which he said that he had composed it: 'The CaterPillar'.

Here now the words of this poem. I have the song sung by him somewhere and when I find it some days I might upload it to this place. He sang it very simple, it sounded pretty Indian (like a chant) and he was clapping his hands to it.

Caterpillar
A song of William Christiansen (Zach)
1976

Once was a Caterpillar that shivered in the grass.
Hiding from the big birds, made my time go past.
Little did I know, above me far and wide,
was the great and unknown sky of the other side.

While I had thoughts now and then of climbing to the top
of one big reed, one big reed that grew along my way.
But eating leaves and hiding out, took up most of my day.

Then one fateful afternoon, I mounted up that reed
so long I waited to ascend, but now my plan was deed.
The thrill of seeing my dream come true almost made me weep,
but time was late and pretty soon, I had to go to sleep.

So I began to spin and spin, did you ever spin a bed?
If you never seen it done, you must not be well read.
Time past by, another day, another afternoon
and I zipped up my sleeping bag known as a cacoon.

In that dark and lonely place I had so many dreams
and soon was quite forgot the past and fearful thoughts it seems.
Far above the grass below that blew below me green
and farmers planting seeds in spring the underpassing scenes.

Then a voice inside me spoke: "You must be born again"
and then this time I really woke from my cacoon I sprang
to see the sun that dried my wings, was smiling back at me.

So far above the grass below I glide within the sky
for now my home is on the wind, a bright new butterfly.

Lady Rubber Band

The following pics give you some glimpses into the video down below. I don't know what to exactly call this kind of art. Is it gymnastics, break dance, ballet or some kind of extreme aerobic? You might know. Last time I saw such a performance was in the Circus, hm, China something ... NO, now I remember Africa, Africa of Andre Heller in Munic last November or December (2007) or so. Yes, was kind of phantastic, like this performance here.














And in the following picture you might give me pardon for doing a little trick. Hehe.
