POSSY & CROSSY in front of a beautiful work piece from
tabriz by mrs. t. mohebbi *father's home*!!

before I took part, too, in the 7th biennal in mashhad and in the 8th biennal in tehran, but now I'm too old & lazy & broken this and that... heheee......



but I MUUST SEE IT!!!!! and I did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
one part of the expo was shown in tehran and one part in semnan. so I spent 3 days in the busses.. oh my god! but it was worth to do!! it was great to see that the level was higher than the years before!!! they were able to use new technics as raku, reduction firering, chrystalline glaze, luster glaze and much more, and new ideas, too!!! and even I had the opportunity to take part in the closing ceremony at Tehran MoMA!!


zurueck vom europa-urlaub war ich froh, zur 10. Iranischen keramik-biennale in tehran & semnan noch rechtzeitig zu kommen!! es war einfach toll zu sehen, wie sehr das niveau der teilnehmer seit der letzten biennale gestiegen ist, ebenso wie durch den neuen sehr ruehrigen direktor der biennale viele neue ideen fuss fassen konnten, so wurden zb die arbeiten der teilnehmer in mehrere gruppen aufgeteilt und das liess eine gerechtere bewertung erst moeglich sein!! ein thema, was wohl seit 1o jahren in der luft hing!
man kann einfach keine vase mit einer installation vergleichen, um die *schere* mal so krass wie moeglich aufzuzeigen!!!



the weather was a bit foggy, cloudy, rainy....

foggy milad tower in the early morning..........

finally I was sooooooo tired back home and slept again 6 h in my bed!! and now I'm HERE again!!! *smile*

die einmalige wiener kaffeehauskultur ist seit 10.11.11 immaterielles weltkulturerbe!!!! schon um 1900 gab es in wien 600 cafes!!!! und das *hawelka* ist auch gerettet - es gehoert dazu!!!! *froiiii* ab 1955 entwickelte es sich zum kuenstler-cafe! es freut mich besonders, dass der alte herr hawelka das noch erlebt!!!

selbst in umliegenden laendern ist diese kultur erhalten geblieben - so in ungarn und tschechien fanden wir auch schoene + beruehmte alte cafes auf unserer reise!!!!!!!

at 10th nov 2011 the Viennese Coffeehouse Culture is declared as an immaterial UNESCO cultural heritage!!!! still in 1900 they had about 600 coffeehouses in vienna!!

*let it snow - let it snow - let it snow*
