Every year, the Pilsner Beer Festival is held in Plzeň in honour of the brewing of the first batch of Pilsner Urquell. This famous celebration takes place in the World of Pilsner Urquell grounds in the courtyard of the Plzeňský Prazdroj Brewery. Every year, a diverse cultural programme - concerts involving leading Czech bands of all genres, sightseeing tours of the Plzeň Brewery and the Brewery Museum, beer competitions, displays of historical crafts and souvenir stalls - awaits all visitors to the Pilsner Beer Festival.
Manifesta, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art changes its location every two years. Manifesta 11 is hosted in Zurich, Switzerland. Manifesta 12 will be hosted in Palermo, Italy.
Zurich is hosting Manifesta over 100 days. The renowned biennial festival of contemporary art is the highlight of the financial city's cultural calendar and this year's event has a fitting title: «What People Do For Money».
Zurich is the economic powerhouse of Switzerland and home to the country's largest banks. «Zurich – too rich» is a popular play on words. So it makes sense for the 11th edition of Manifesta to explore the theme of money and how it pervades society. «What People Do For Money: Some Joint Ventures» is the title of the biennial art festival. Over 100 days – from 11 June to 18 September 2016 – artists will focus their projects on a variety of professional fields and more specifically, the working lives of Zurich's citizens. This will give rise to 35 new productions, some of which will be exhibited in unusual places such as the workplaces concerned.
Since 1996, Manifesta – a biennial festival of contemporary art – has been held in a different location every two years. It was founded in Holland as a means to promote local artistic production in the respective venue. The 11th edition – hence Manifesta 11 – takes place in Zurich and will be the highlight of the city's cultural calendar in 2016. The centrepiece of Manifesta 11 will be the «Pavilion of Reflections» on Lake Zurich, a floating, multifunctional platform with a giant LED screen, grandstand, bathing pool and bar. Festival events will also be held at the Löwenbräu-Areal complex and the Cabaret Voltaire.

I am a huge fan of the All Access Ship Tour and this was the second time I have done this. I will definitely do it again. We had the Tour on February 20th, 2020 and Tyler (a member of the Shore Excursions Team from Canada) was a great guide. We all wore earpieces to hear the speakers at every stop. Here is the description of the tour: "Discover the answers to a question we get asked on every voyage, “How does a ship so big run so smoothly?” Find out on a behind-the-scenes tour that reveals the technology, teamwork, and tons of supplies that go into creating your Celebrity Cruise. Start in the Main Dining Room with a little hands-on lesson from the staff, and then, visit the Main Galley to see how our culinary team artfully prepares about 25,000 meals for our guests and crew each and every day. It’s an impressive achievement, especially when you think about all the exotic flavors you get to enjoy in Modern Luxury style aboard your Celebrity Cruise ship. Next up, pop into provisioning for a jaw-dropping look at the sheer volume of ingredients it takes to make it all happen. Here’s a little preview. We go through roughly 8,500 lbs of watermelon on every cruise. Not to mention, 10,000 bananas and 32,000 potatoes (give or take a few). Continue to the Engine Control Room, where expert engineers monitor the ship’s engines and onboard machinery - 24/7. You’ll learn how the engines do more than turn the giant props. They power all our onboard systems, including air-conditioning, refrigeration, plumbing and many others. This is the heart and soul of the cruise ship and you’ll enjoy a rare up-close look at how it operates. Afterwards, go for stroll down I-95, the “main highway” for the crew. It runs down the center of the ship and is named after the longest highway on the U.S. East Coast. Your next stop is Laundry, where thousands of items are cleaned and crisply folded every day– napkins to linens to beach towels. Marvel at massive machines that can hold 264 lbs. of laundry in every load. To put that in perspective, it’s like doing 14 loads of laundry in your machine at home all at once. The tour concludes with a real treat – a visit to the Bridge, where all the ship’s onboard systems are controlled. Step up and witness advanced navigation and communications equipment in action, and scan the sea from the same vantage point your Captain uses to chart the way. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to run a cruise ship, this inside access tour provides plenty of answers, great insight, and a whole lot of excitement." On board the Celebrity Equinox for Seth's Big Fat Broadway Cruise from February 15th to the 22nd, 2020. The itinerary includes stops in San Juan (Puerto Rico), Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas (US Virgin Islands), Tortola (British Virgin Islands), Nassau (Bahamas) before returning to Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale, Florida). The best part is that we are on Seth's Big Fat Broadway Cruise again!
A stepladder positioned outside the terminal due shortage of space was utilised in the best possible way by those who couldn't enter the airshow.

Every year, MitOst invites its friends and members, as well as everyone interested in cultural and civic exchange in Europe and its neighbouring regions, to participate in the International MitOst Festival. About 350 participants host sessions, present their own projects and initiatives, offer workshops and network.
The MitOst Festival is a place to become part of an active, thriving and caring community. It is a place to look beyond one's own horizons and seek encouraging dialogue and meaningful connection between individuals and communities of practice. The MitOst Festival is also a place to reflect and shape these connections – during the event and beyond.

"when each day is the same as the next, it's because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises." ~ Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist).
The flat I live has a small yard. When summer comes, neighbours always bring every plant they plant down here from their own balconies, making it a lovely garden -- except for the buzzing flies... And when autumn starts to fade away, plants go home! Also, I very much like the old chair.
The Every Day Club takes over OhNo!Doom with an evening of artworks, music and fuuun. Over & Out is no show, its an experience of pure, stimulating stupor. Like what you may ask? Well you'll have to come and find out for yourselves!

Seriously, where are the pastries? And how the f*ck do you network and mingle and shake hands while trying to fight your way into a rock solid, rhinoceros skinned orange with the juice going EVERYWHERE.
The first conference in Norway I ever went to served raw parsnips and beetroot for the breakfast networking, as finger food. (Yes, and impenetrable oranges.) WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
Every year on the International Day of Forests we celebrate the ways in which forests and trees sustain and protect us. This year we are raising awareness of how forests are key to the planet’s supply of freshwater, which is essential for life.

ALICE NEEL - EVERY PERSON IS A NEW UNIVERSE
Alice Neel (1900-1984) was little known during her lifetime, and it is only in the recent decades that she has been rightfully recognised as one of the great pillars of modern American art. Neel is particularly celebrated for her extraordinary portraits, which poignantly describe the variety found in society.
Her radical works, executed with vivid colours, expressive brushwork and disturbing perspectives, are strong reminders that behind all social and political challenges, one first and foremost deals with human individuals. Like Edvard Munch, Neel digs deep and brings forward the psyche of the individual sitters.
Organised in collaboration with the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Barbican Centre in London, this exhibition brings together 59 powerful paintings and drawings, thus constituting the first comprehensive presentation of Alice Neel’s art in Norway.
www.munchmuseet.no/en/exhibitions/alice-neel/
Alice Neel (1900–1984) worked as an artist her entire life, but did not receive broad recognition until the 1970s. Today she is numbered as one of the great figures of modern American art. With clear colours, expressive brush strokes, and often ruthless psychological insight, she painted people from all social classes and environments. They could be artists, queer icons, mothers and children in New York's Spanish Harlem, kindred spirits in the Communist Party, sex workers, or cultural elites. Her gripping portraits remind us that every community, no matter how big or small, is made up of individuals. "Every person is a new universe," as she said.
Neel wasn't just an outstanding artist, she was also known as a fascinating and entertaining storyteller. She was never able to afford her own studio. Instead, she invited her models home to her apartment, where she helped them relax by talking and telling stories while she painted. "It was so seductive," said one of her models, artist Benny Andrews. "She bewitched you. And you can see it in my portrait."
In the exhibition, Neel speaks through an array of quotes, taken from interviews, speeches, letters, and catalogue texts, displayed next to the paintings on the walls. In this way, we want to recreate the relaxed, warm, and unrestrained atmosphere Neel was known to create around herself while she painted.
Neel was born on January 28th, 1900, and used to say that she was "four weeks younger than the century." She lived through one of the most significant periods in recent history, from the Wall Street Crash in 1929, the emergence of modern psychology, and the Second World War, to the women's and civil rights movements, the Stonewall riots, and the Cold War. Neel thought that depictions of people best reflect the times we live in. As an artist, she tries to uncover how political and social circumstances are expressed in people's faces and body language. Her paintings of people are therefore also a rich societal portrait, plumbing the depths of American society in the twentieth century.
Family, social circles, neighbors, and community are important themes in Neel's art. During a time in which abstract art – and the men who often created it – dominated the art world, Neel's portraits were radically old-fashioned. In fact, she disliked the term portrait, and preferred to say that she painted people. "I'm not against abstraction," she said. "Do you know what I'm against? Saying that a human being has no meaning ... I am a humanist and that's what I see, and that's what I paint."
In her raw, expressive depictions of the individual, one can trace a fascination with Edvard Munch, who along with the Spanish Painters Francisco de Goya and Diego Velázquez, was an important inspiration for Neel.
In the final room of the exhibition, we are showing the personal and critically acclaimed documentary Alice Neel from 2007, which was made by her grandson Andrew. The film includes private archival material and candid interviews with Alice Neel's surviving family and shows how she struggled to achieve recognition as an artist while simultaneously raising two sons alone in New York. Neel also had two daughters: the first died during infancy; the second was left in Cuba with relatives and only reunited with Neel a couple of times. The result is a gripping and open-minded portrait of a complex individual – not unlike the paintings Neel herself painted.
The work James Hunter Black Draftee tells a powerful story about an uncertain fate. Alice Neel met James Hunter in 1965 when he had just been drafted to serve in the Vietnam War. Neel sketched the body directly on the canvas, as she usually did, and painted parts of the head and hands. Hunter only had one week left in New York and never managed to return to Neel's apartment for another session. Neel decided that it "would be interesting to abandon an unfinished work." As such, the painting became a strong metaphor for the uncertain fate of all the young men who were sent to fight in the war, often against their will.
We create some communities ourselves, we are born into some, and are ostracized from others. Why is community so basic for us humans? For the second time, we are arranging the interdisciplinary festival Text at MUNCH, in which this year's theme is "forms of community," inspired by Alice Neel's artistry. We have invited both Norwegian and international artists, who explore community in their work in different ways, to share their reflections on the theme with us. Experience live discussions, lectures, readings, concerts, and performances at MUNCH in November.
