Hear about a German road trip to 9 UNESCO Cities as the Amateur Traveler talks to Renee Hannes from dreamplanexperience.com about her exploration of the land of her ancestors. https://amateurtraveler.com/germany-road-trip-to-9-unesco-cities/ Renee says, "I just returned from living in Berlin for 3 months. So had an opportunity to make a little bit of a longer trip and was there with my husband and dog and lived in Berlin and I had a good chance to be able to see the city and lots of other places around it. I had this long list of places on my to-do list. I think like most travelers, I become very quickly overwhelmed with how many places I wanted to see. So I thought why not think about what are those places that are worthy of a visit?" "That's where I came upon thinking about it from a UNESCO perspective and UNESCO sites are always worthy places to visit special places to visit in terms of the history and the moments in history that they help create and shape the architecture that usually is pretty spectacular to be able to see from, nature and the landscapes that we want to protect and then also it gives us really good insights into the culture. So after I had that long list, I went back and thought, what is close to Berlin? And that's how I was able to stumble on these 9 destinations."

Talk Art season 13 continues with an art icon!!! We meet leading artist Tracey Emin to discuss her return to her hometown of Margate, her new art school, her current solo exhibition in the town's Carl Freedman Gallery as well as a further new solo show in Edinburgh at Jupiter Artland.'A Journey To Death' is a comprehensive solo exhibition of new prints, large-scale monotypes and bronze sculptures. The show runs until 19th June 2022 and has been widely critically acclaimed. Free entry, and we strongly recommend visiting Margate for this extraordinary exhibition of new works. Tracey Emin's first Scottish show since 2008, 'I Lay Here For You' opens on 28th May and runs until 2nd October. It offers an intimate encounter with love and hope set against the domestic architecture and informal woodland of Jupiter Artland. Imbued with connotations of both warmth and vulnerability, resonating with Tracey Emin's belief of the ‘personal as political' the exhibition will feature brand new work by the artist reflecting on the possibility of love after hardship.Tracey Emin's participation in Jupiter Artland's 2022 season begins with the unveiling I Lay Here For You, a six metre bronze sited personally by the artist in an old-growth beech grove. Larger than life, powerful and at ease, the sculpture presents a radically different view of woman's place in nature, as well as creating a dialogue with the new work presented by the artist across Jupiter's indoor gallery spaces.Tracey Emin, CBE, RA is a British artist known for her autobiographical and confessional artwork. Emin represented Great Britain at the 52nd Venice Biennale in 2007 and was appointed Professor of Drawing at the Royal Academy of Arts, London in 2011. She was awarded the honour of Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for her contributions to the visual arts in 2012. Tracey Emin's art is one of disclosure, using her life events as inspiration for works ranging from painting, drawing, video and installation, to photography, needlework and sculpture.Emin reveals her hopes, humiliations, failures and successes in candid and, at times, excoriating work that is frequently both tragic and humorous. In 2020, a major solo exhibition entitled The Loneliness of the Soul, opened at the Royal Academy of Arts, London. The exhibition then toured to the new Munch Museum, Oslo in Summer 2021 to critical acclaim. This summer, Emin will unveil her largest artwork to date, The Mother, a permanent public commission for Oslo's Museum Island. I Lay Here for You at Jupiter Artland will be Tracey Emin's first solo exhibition in Scotland since her 2008 major retrospective at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh.Tracey Emin was born in 1963 in London. She currently lives and works between London, the South of France, and Margate, UK.

S3 E23: Eglund on the Art of Communication Welcome to Tea Toast & Trivia. Thank you for listening in. I am travelling over 7900 kilometers to Berlin, Germany to meet up with my friend, Eglund, journalist and writer. Berlin is a center of politics, culture, media, and science, home of the world-famous Berlin Opera, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and Museum Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Berlin is on my must-see places to visit once travel comes back. But for now, I am enjoying my virtual visit with Eglund. Eglund is an engineer and publicist. He worked as a science journalist and reporter in Africa for several German newspapers. Since 2005, his focus has been on the environmental initiatives. As a specialist journalist for renewable energies, he works within media related to the ecological energy transition, first of all about solar energy. Eglund first appeared as a writer in 1993 when he won the essay prize of the Mayor of Berlin-Kreuzberg for his short story “The nun and dying”. In 2009 his novel “Die Glöckner von Utopia” was published, in which he processed his experiences during the last years of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and especially during the turning point in autumn 1989 in Dresden, Leipzig and East Berlin. His second novel, Zen Solar, was published in 2016. This year, his third novel: Nomaden von Laetoli will be published. In March 2011 Eglund founded the culture blog Berg.Link, which he designed together with Urs Heinz Aerni from Zurich. We live in a world that offers many ways in which to connect and share knowledge and experience. As a journalist and writer, Eglund values authentic communication that fosters life-affirming conversations. What does it mean to communicate? What messages do we send? And do we know how to listen? These are the questions that will be discussed today. I invite you to put the kettle on and add to this exciting conversation on Tea Toast & Trivia. Thank you, Eglund, for sharing your insights on communication within a world that offers us technology for global connection. And a special thank you to Klausbernd Vollmar for introducing Eglund to Tea Toast & Trivia. Dear listeners, thank you for joining Eglund and me on Tea Toast & Trivia. Stay tuned for Eglund's return for another stimulating conversation. Until next time, keep safe and be well.

Berlin is home to some truly amazing stories and history.  If you are looking to hear an exciting story of true crime, listen here for the story of the Berlin Coin Heist. The Bode museum was home to the Maple Leaf, a massive gold coin from Canada, roughly the diameter of a car tire and holding a Guinness world record for the highest purity, and the subject of this story. Standing on the paved path along the spree, just south of Monbijou Park, you’ll usually find tourists making their way to Museum Island and people having lunch and coffee while enjoying the view. But the location is also the site of one of Berlin’s most notorious heists - one involving a 220-pound gold coin, a rare Armani jacket, and an infamous crime family. The Bode Museum is found on Museum Island in Berlin’s Mitte district. The location can be reached by train with the nearest station Berlin Berlin Friedrichstrasse. The site can be found on the map here.

In this episode I speak about the Museum Island,  Berlins outstanding ensemble of five world-renowned museums.

Welcome to this fourth episode of Dior Talks. This podcast series will explore the connections between Creative Director of Women’s collections Maria Grazia Chiuri and contemporary women artists and curators.  In this episode, series host Katy Hessel, the London-based writer, curator and art historian, talks to Tracey Emin, one of the pre-eminent figures of contemporary art in the UK. In 2017, Emin, whose practice has always been firmly yet uniquely framed within the history of feminist discourse, created a specially commissioned work, Should Love Last, for the Dior pop-up store at 44 Avenue Montaigne in Paris. Tracey Emin CBE is one of the generations of Young British Artists (YBAs) who came to prominence in the early 1990s and whose work changed the landscape and language of contemporary art in the UK. Yet the immediacy and autobiographical narrative of her work has always set her slightly apart from her contemporaries. Working in painting, drawing, video and installation, and also photography, needlework and sculpture, she has always used her own life and childhood as her subject matter, to reassess the nature of “women’s work” and the position of women, and of femininity, within the frame of artistic expression.  Emin was born in 1963 and grew up in Margate, a seaside town on the Kent Coast, and her childhood there, particularly her teenage years, form a powerful source of inspiration for her work. In 1999 she was nominated for the prestigious Turner Prize in London and in 2007 she represented Great Britain at the Venice Biennial. She is a panelist and speaker and has lectured widely, including at the V&A Museum. In 2011, she was appointed professor of Drawing at the Royal Academy.

Berlin, Germany’s capital, dates to the 13th century. The city is a vibrant playground filled with amazing attractions, incredible art, tasty food and stylishly-cool watering holes. Museumsinsel or Museum Island is in the heart of Berlin, a complex of five museums built on an island in the River Spree over the course of 130 years. Since 1999, the architectural ensemble has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There’s a constant sense of motion and you’ll want to spend extra time exploring! Hannah Marsh https://www.instagram.com/hannahmolley/ https://twitter.com/nerdybirdspod?s=09

Join Ben Lima for a conversation with Thomas Gaehtgens, director of the Getty Research Institute. The two discuss European art history and traditions of museum curation, as well as Museumsinsel, the northern half of one of Berlin's districts which is made up of five architecturally grand museums. Spoken of in Specific detail is the Bode Museum.  Edited by Oskar Olsson. 

Today’s episode is one of those stories, when you hear about them you gonna have your mouth wide open and think “how is this possible”? You know that I love projects that really challenge the status quo, so I made my way to Friedrichshain, walked into the backyard behind Berlin’s famous electro club Watergate, right by the river Spree - to visit Jan Edler, one of the founders of Flussbad Berlin. If you haven't heard of the project, Flussbad is about to create a natural swimming pool in the river Spree, just along the UNESCO site of Museum Island, so in a very static, historic area of the city… you can imagine that some people get excited about - and some throw their hands up in despair. It’s been incredible to meet Jan. He is such a fascinating character & he was so open about everything. He made me see the project in a completely different light: It’s not just gonna be the world’s biggest swimming pool... The swimming is the side effect, but what it’s really about is re-accessing a lost part of our city. We talked about all that and so much more, like The function of the river Spree now & how it should be How to deal with nay sayers & keep pushing Why ideas from the past can be revived to build a better future Why perseverance is one of the most important traits you can have How 4 million euros turned a hobby into something damn serious Why the Flussbad Berlin team needs your help & how you can get involved… Hope you're as inspired as I am after this episode, that changing the world is possible and that we shouldn’t downregulate our possibilities because we are afraid of something… baaam! You'll find everything you need to know in the shownotes at www.greenmeberlin.com/podcast - this is where I post all my episodes, including the full transcript if you wanna read. So check it out - and share the Flussbad episode with your friends, cause you heard it, they can only do it if there’s as many people as possible. As always, it would be a huge help for me if you could hop over to the GreenMe Berlin Podcast on iTunes and leave me a short review. Tell me how you like the show, what you wanna hear, if it helps you or not... it’s what I need to keep me going. Thank YOU! Check out the full interview including transcript on: www.greenmeberlin.com/podcast-flussbad-berlin Plus, support Flussbad Berlin & come to one of their next events http://www.flussbad-berlin.de/events If you wanna stay up to date with the latest interviews, green events and fresh content from me and my explorations around Berlin, sign up for my monthly newsletter.
