Ungleichheit zwischen Männern und Frauen besteht nicht nur beim Arbeitslohn. Sondern auch in der Kunst. Die weitaus meisten Bilder und Skulpturen in Museen stammen von Männern. Ein neues Museum in Trondheim will dagegen etwas tun. 60 Prozent der Werke dort sollen Arbeiten von Künstlerinnen zeigen. Von Daily Good News.

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." City 1: Berlin UNESCO Site: Museum Island: Spend the first day exploring Museum Island, home to five world-class museums. Delve into history, art, and archaeology at the Altes Museum, Neues Museum, Alte Nationalgalerie, Bode Museum, and the famous Pergamon Museum (when it reopens).

O episódio tradicional do Arquicast sobre o Prêmio Pritzker deste ano de 2023 trouxe à tona a premiação do arquiteto britânico David Chipperfield. Como de praxe, o programa discutiu a composição do júri e especulou sobre as decisões tomadas. Chipperfield é um renomado arquiteto que tem trabalhado em projetos em todo o mundo, suas obras refletem uma compreensão profunda do contexto histórico e cultural dos locais em que trabalha. O arquiteto britânico é membro do Royal Institute of British Architects e membro honorário tanto do American Institute of Architects quanto do Bund Deutscher Architekten. Ele recebeu inúmeras distinções, incluindo o título de Cavaleiro pelos serviços à arquitetura no Reino Unido e na Alemanha. Em 2011, recebeu a Medalha Real de Ouro da RIBA e, em 2013, o Praemium Imperiale da Japan Art Association, ambos dados em reconhecimento por sua trajetória. Recentemente, em 2021, ele foi nomeado membro da Ordem dos Companheiros de honra por seus serviços à arquitetura. O episódio contou com a participação de Maressa Fonseca, Bruno Sarmento e Caio Dias, cada um deles trazendo uma visão específica sobre a obra de Chipperfield. Caio compartilhou histórias e bastidores da produção, Bruno leu as obras com precisão e Maressa apontou os caminhos para reflexões mais profundas. Uma das características marcantes do trabalho de Chipperfield é sua abordagem sensível à restauração e reutilização de edifícios antigos, como no caso do Neues Museum em Berlim. Neste ano, o júri citou o aspecto clássico da obra de Chipperfield, que pode ser interpretada pela sensibilidade de composição e utilização correta e harmônica dos materiais. A discussão sobre a obra de Chipperfield é valiosa para entendermos como a arquitetura pode ser sensível ao contexto cultural e histórico e, ao mesmo tempo, ser inovadora e funcional. A premiação reconhece sua contribuição para o desenvolvimento da arquitetura contemporânea e o legado que deixam para a posteridade. O episódio está disponível no YouTube em uma versão estendida, gravado em vídeo e com muitas imagens das obras que acompanham as descrições dos participantes. Até a próxima!

Virginie Girod vous transporte au Cœur de l'Histoire de l'une des femmes les plus importantes de l'Egypte antique : Néfertiti, la “reine-déesse”. Grande épouse royale du pharaon Akhenaton, Néfertiti est aujourd'hui connue pour l'un de ses bustes, qui représente sa beauté. Mais finalement, que sait-on de cette reine ? Reconnaissable à son buste sculpté par Thoutmôsis et exposé actuellement au Neues Museum de Berlin, Néfertiti a révolutionné son époque et a tiré les ficelles du pouvoir dans une Égypte à l'apogée de sa puissance. Son histoire est indissociable de celle de son époux Akhenaton. A eux deux, ils auront mené de multiples réformes culturelles et religieuses qui ont changé l'histoire de l'Égypte antique. Ce couple royal a créé une nouvelle capitale et instauré un monothéisme, c'est-à-dire : la croyance en un seul Dieu. Néfertiti aurait influencé la décision de son époux d'abandonner le culte des dieux d'Égypte au profit d'un monothéisme centré sur Aton, la divinité du disque solaire. “Au Cœur de l'Histoire” est une production Europe 1 Studio.Sujets abordés : Néfertiti - Egypte antique – Reine – Pouvoir - Règne - Pharaon – Akhenaton – Monothéisme - Buste

Social distancing has become one of the key measures for controlling coronavirus, but implementing it is creating an existential threat to arts venues like theatres, museums, galleries, independent music venues and concert halls. With such vastly reduced capacity - as much as 90% - can venues ever make the finances stack up, and what is lost when the audience, and performers, must be so far apart? Despite the restrictions, some venues are starting to find ways of making it work. John Wilson goes to the Wigmore Hall where they're beginning live concerts on Radio 3 next week. Violinist Alina Ibragimova performs in the hall - the first instrument played there in ten weeks - and speaks to John alongside Director of the Wigmore Hall John Gilhooly about what it means to be creating live performance again amidst such huge financial uncertainty. Alan Davey tells us what to expect from this years' Proms. Across Europe some museums and galleries are already open. Christina Haak, deputy director of the Berlin State Museums, which include the Pergamonmuseum, Neues Museum and the Alte Nationalgalerie, tells us what it was like welcoming audiences again. Robert Hastie, Director of Sheffield Theatres, reports on his plans for Shakespeare in the Park this summer, which have the aim of keeping some theatre alive in the city. And Dominique Frazer, who runs the Boileroom indie music venue in Guildford, discusses how social distancing is impossible in their venue which is all about getting close to bands and each other.

In this interview Andrew Clancy and Judi Farren Bradley interview Julian HARRAP. Julian is arguably the most distinguished conservation architect working in Europe today. In the work he completed with David Chipperfield on the Neues Museum he opened up a conversation about memory, authenticity and the abiding meaning of architecture in a highly nuanced manner. This work is of interest far beyond conservation circles of course, and I think it fair to say that this building has been one of the key works of the last 20 years in shaping the culture of architecture on our continent. Our contemporary understanding of bricolage, fragment and inflection are all wrapped up and tested in various ways in this building. There is a radicality here, one which is perhaps less immediately evident (but no less present) in other projects by Julian and in this conversation he takes us through the challenge of conservation - which in his view is never a simple dogmatic agenda, but another layer of architectural thinking.

Sir David Chipperfield is a world-renowned architect who has designed and refurbished some of the most iconic buildings in the world, including Berlin’s Neues Museum. On March 21, 2019, Sir Chipperfield was at the American Academy to deliver a lecture entitled “Identity and Sustainability—Fundación RIA in Galicia.” In the lecture, he discusses his work at Fundación RIA, an NGO that enables architects to serve society through comprehensive engagement in urban planning. Berlin architect Jason Danziger, of the firm thinkbuild, sat down with Sir Chipperfield to discuss how architects can and should serve their communities.

It's a heist!!! Shan talks about her favourite museum heist (so far): the "theft" of the bust of Nefertiti from the Neues Museum, Berlin. From the unearthing of the bust in the early 20th century to its theft via Kinect camera in 2016, it's a strange and winding road. 

Den kända bysten av drottning Nefertiti  har samma självlysande kraft som en hyllad rockstjärna. Ett konstverk som klarat sig genom krig och så sent som på 2000-talet ledde till en diplomatisk kris. Skulptören Thutmoses anses vara upphovsman till bysten som såg dagens ljus ca 1350 före Kristus. Bysten låg orörd i sin grav från Nefertitis död på 1300-talet  före Kristus fram till att den tyske arkeologen Ludwig Borchardt hittade den i en utgrävning 1912. Efter långa förhandlingar med Frankrike hamnade Nefertiti i Berlin och skulpturen har följt Europas och Tysklands händelserika 1900-talshistoria. Bysten är en knapp halvmeter hög, väger 20 kilo och är tillverkad i sandsten som täckts med gips och sen målats. Det som gör skulpturen så speciell är förutom den kvinnliga skönhet den förmedlar, också att den är i så gott skick. Numera finns den i en monter på Neues Museum på museiön i Berlin. Genom sin ikonstatus har också skulpturen varit en stor inspirationskälla för konstnärer, musiker och inte minst - den har blivit ett emblem som både Tyskland och Egypten gjort till sitt.

Den kända bysten av drottning Nefertiti är ett konstverk med samma självlysande kraft som hos en hyllad rockstjärna. Det är en av konsthistoriens riktiga ikoner. Bysten finns idag i en monter på Neues Museum på museiön i Berlin. Men Nefertitis väg dit har varit dramatisk och innehållsrik. Cecilia Blomberg berättar om ett konstverk som klarat sig genom krig och som fortfarande in på 2000-talet ledde till en diplomatisk kris på hög nivå mellan Tyskland och Egypten. Skulptören Thutmoses anses vara upphovsman till bysten som såg dagens ljus ca 1350 före Kristus. Bysten låg orörd i sin grav från Nefertitis död på 1300-talet  före Kristus fram till att den tyske arkeologen Ludwig Borchardt hittade den i en utgrävning 1912.

Tiene 3.500 años de antigüedad pero su equilibrada belleza atrae a más de un millón de visitantes cada año al Neues Museum de Berlín, donde se expone desde 2009. Su esposo, Amenofis IV -Akenatón- la elevó al estatus de reina-diosa en Amarna, la capital de Egipto que, a través de una señal del dios Atón, construyeron para sustituir a Tebas. En un punto de la historia dejamos de saber de ella: ¿muerte repentina? ¿ejerció como faraona con otro nombre? La incógnita todavía está en el aire. Desde su sala en la Isla de los Museos de la capital alemana, Nefertiti mira hacia el dios sol.

David Chipperfield, David Chipperfield Architects, London On the occasion of the 2012 Paul S. Byard Memorial Lecture at Columbia University GSAPP, Sir David Chipperfield will speak on his much-heralded re-conception of the Neues Museum in Berlin -- a transformative blend of old and new that earned the 2011 Mies van der Rohe Award. Originally opened in 1855 by architect Friedrich August Stueler as the focal point of the capital's Museumsinsel, then destroyed by Allied bombing during World War II and subsequently neglected and exposed to the elements under German Democratic Republic rule, Sir Chipperfield's design for the newly reopened public building incorporates elements of its storied history into a "modern building that inhabits the ghost of an old one," according to the New York Times. #wood020212
