ask questions!

Yesterday, we went to the Natural History Museum. (By the way, a lot of other people did this). I really liked some of the exhibition design styles and the way, you are trained to ask questions. Although you expect from a museum visit like this to get answers, I always go out with more questions in my head. I think, we should ask more questions in general. It is a valuable culture we have to keep and to train.

 For a toddler, a single toy may become a close companion.

Hayward Gallery Project Space

you should definitely see this exhibition

When was there, I felt like most designs I do and see are so "inhuman",
which means too much computer, so clean and not lively. So lets go back
to human! These thoughts are obviously affected by the work of Mike Mills, 
which I was watching last week. Later on -- more about him.

There'll 

probably 

be some 

music, but

we'll manage

to find 

a quiet

corner 

where we

can talk.

(finally, a nice quote from the exhibition)

A portrait of ASPEN, the original magazine in a box. by Emily King 
032C Issue #6 — Winter 2003/2004 / Page No. 82 - 8
Aspen functioned on the principle of family resemblance rather than that of uniformity: there is enough in common between issues for them to be 
understood as part of the same body of work, but each issue is very different
from all the others.
Emily King is a London-based author, curator, and design critic
Reading Time: about 21 minutes.

If Aspen was an art director's dream, it was also an advertiser's nightmare.

About museums. / Tate Modern. A first quick visit.

About museums here & there 

Did not expect, that free entrance changes the whole attitude of going to museums. 

It does. You don't have to see everything at one visit. You will come again. 

You can come as often as you want. You can come to see only one particular picture. 

Going to a museum feels more like taking a walk in the park. There are many 

people, but it is still relaxed. It seems like it is nothing special, it's just something you do in your free time, like everybody does. It is allowed to talk. 

You can meet people. It's wonderful. (By the way, also parks are different here 

because many of them close at night. But that's a another story.)

Always happy to meet Bruce Naumans work in exhibitions.
