Prepairing for the Copenhagen trip (11.2.2011)

We split into the three groups and each group chose three places which we´d like to visit in Copenhagen. First group planed for the first afternoon, second for the next afternoon and the third for the last morning. We got part of a map where we had to find our sightseeing tour. It was a little bit difucult for us, because we´ve never been in the capital of Denmark, but we had map and the internet, so we were looking for some interesting places. After a few hours we dealt with our task and  finished our timetible for our next three days.

We took up with Copenhagen and we are looking for the trip!

Piece of Wisdom by Pablo Picasso

"Cubism is no different from any other school of painting /.../
I also often hear the word evolution. Repeatedly I am asked to explain how my paintings evolved. To me there is nop past or future in art. If a work cannot live always in the present it must not be considered at all. The art of the Greeks, of the Egyptians, of the great painters who lived in other times, is not an art of the past; perhaps it is more alive today than it ever was. Art does not evolve by itself, the ideas of people change and with then their mode of expression. /../ Variation does not mean evolution. If an artis varies his mode of expression this only means that he has changed his manner of thinking, and in changing, it might be for the better or ti might be for the worse." (Pablo Picasso)

Copenhagen trip (13.-15.2.2011)

Sunday - Day of the arrival to CPH

We boarded the bus on Monday at 8:45 with direction to the trainstation and then to Copenhagen. The journey took about three and half hour and Copenhagen greeted us with great portion of wind and cold. After leaving our ludgages at the hostel the adventure could begin.

First day our steps aimed at the Little Mermaid as well as Amalienborg and other sights along water.

We arrived around 12:30 full of expectations and with our hands full of ludgage we aimed to our hostel.



Royal Family Church

Colourfull houses all around and freezing wind as well

Monday - Day by the name of Experimentarium

Plan for the morning was Experimentarium which was absolutely excelent and I think that everybody felt like a child while walking inside and investigating all the stuff there. After this exciting morning was the museum Erotika in the list but unfortunatelly or may be fortunatelly was already two years closed.  Consequently we splitted up to groups according our different plans. My group headed for National Museum and Glyptoteket. To our misfortune both were closed and we ended in McDonald. Finally all of us met at RizRaz, vegerarian restauran, where we had delicious dinner.

Small snack in McDonald - Vivat healthy food! Alas hamburgers!

Such a warm weather, no wind at all :-D.

Tuesday - Christiania / Danish National Gallery / Carlsberg Factory Tour 



The National Gallery of Denmark

 In the morning we splitted to three groups according to places we wanted to visit. My, Mitsue´s and Narisa´s steps led to the Danish National Gallery. In one word it was excelent! You can find there painters like Lucas Cranach d. AE, Rembrand van Rijn, Lorenzo di Niccolo Gernini and El Greco, Giovanni Antonio Guardi, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo And Peter Paul Rubens.
The second part of the stable collection was modern art (Danish and international) where we saw works of Georges Braque, André Derain, Pablo Picasso, Hneri Matisse, Emil Nolde and George Basilitz.

On the top of it there was also temporary exhibition of Pablo Picaso´s prints (Tales from the Labyrinth) and Bob Dylan (The Brazil Series).

Performance,alias art for art.

Amazed! Who would not be.

Cornelius Norbertus Gijsbrechts (1610-1675) 



Hans Christian Andersen



 But our trip had to ended. All of us exept Mirna, Fatyma and few other girls, who travelled to Sweden, met in the lounge of the hostel more or less prepared to departure. Mitsue and Narisa left us there and continued in their trip to sunny Italy.



After three hours in train and bus Haderslev greeted us with snow and CPH trip was over. We were full of impressions and ready to undertake another adventrue.

Piece of wisdom for today:

If you think that pronounce such a short sentence in Danish like is "hvad hedder du...", is a piece of cake then the cake would be large as olympic stadium with all that ḁ ø ð instead of flour and sugar inside. Alas tongue twisters. :-D
