Menschenbilder in Café Trica The last day (Saturday) was the opening of my Menschenbilder exhibition in Café Trica. This is probably the most fancy place to go for a kava in Osijek, and everyone wants to hang around there. In all honesty I didn’t expect that much, because a) it was the last day of [---]

Important Link Added Holy hyperlink, at last I got this one: Croatian-Austrian Society Which is the original initiator of the “Kultur der Begnung” as the OE Tage are correctly spelled.

Theater And Little Alien In case you wonder what the theater was about or how it looked like, ask the lady who told me not to take pictures. t’was some Oedoen von Horvath remake about identity and relationships in a money driven world – as far as I remember through the veil of anger Took [---]

Reading “Konfrontationen, Gedichte 2005 – 2008″ After a long night it was a bit hard to push the tired eye behind the viewfinder again at high noon.

The composer Kresimir Herceg was also attending the performance. First let’s start with some official stuff, like … waiting [---]

Im seltenen Fall, dass ich wirklich etwas zu sagen habe, tue ich es lieber in meiner Muttersprache Deutsch. Am Ostermontag war Elias Bierdel in einem FM4 Doppelzimmer spezial zu Gast und erzählte über seine Erfahrungen als Journalist am Balkan während des Kriegs sowie als Menschenrechtsaktivist, der in Italien erlebt hat, dass das Konzept Staat entgegen [---]

Waldinger [technical note begin] I have changed the gallery system to my own solution, and now there can be photos with comments. Better yet, these photos are marked with a red outline.

Painting I held back a few frames from the painting session, because I wasn’t quite sure how to arrange them or present them in a not so flat manner. How well I did it is up to the reader’s judgement. I was almost ready to leave when Timon (I know his name from the one [---]

Painting After we had that first Franck coffee in the café at the Drawa promenade there was the first event on Wednesday 26th at 3 pm: a group of children painting with assistance from Jelena Dabic and accompanied by the sounds of Gustav Mahler. If you don’t mind the h in Mahler, we get that [---]
