here's a look at what's coming up. truck art a mobile art project takes to the roads in spain. back to front profiling all that all over curtis and his take on the protect our feet. the tourist magnet modern day pilgrims on the way of st james. there is a clear distinction between the ard we see on the streets and the works in museums but more and more there is crossover between the two mediums street artists are displaying in galleries and museums and now in spain a group of contemporary artists have taken to the streets so to speak for the truck art project now i traveled to madrid recently to see what this involved. at first glance this may look like an abstract painting on a wall but look again and it's actually a work of art on the side of

a truck. this is the truck art project an initiative in madrid twenty nine of spain's most established artists have taken part. as one of them. and. it's a painting in movement on this i feel you. this project was a challenge but in a positive sense. paintings normally hang on walls and not between cars that are zipping by. like tires paintings usually hang in galleries and museums including the well known rana sophia in the spanish capital but he stepped out of his normal element to participate in this project. might end of august also took part she's been active as a professional artist for fifteen years her works often involve graphic allegory.

the chalk on project is now an important part of my work. and i look at lots with the symbol of the sacred heart and since a symbol is so important in my own lives i decided to put it on the truck. about the artist for the truck art project were chosen by the curators. when they come to me the first one to do on you and i came up with a ring you know on in their brain there's a. different art these are not normally used to show in their art. in the streets and normally there are only these paving means to. endure. annabel rica is also one such artist her words are often quite colorful and playful aside from

painting a truck she was also commissioned to paint a mural on the transport company's grounds. and an infant that there was a big challenge to adapt to the. modern in such a short period of time. but it was amazing to take part in this project. you know. it was something new for me because i'm used to working in closed rooms with viewable formats. but for. the trucker project is the brainchild of entrepreneur high mccall so he started this transport company five years ago but his true passion is art which is displayed on the walls both inside and outside of the company. funded the truck park project with money from

his transport firm. it is important that companies these days use part of their profit to return to the to the society and i think that there's a need social responsibility or corporate responsibility and and we are promoting art and letting. some people enjoy. the trucks operate all over spain so the public at large have a chance it's funny member on. on the road or in town for know their numbers are limited but cole says looking to expand the project to one hundred trucks or more

and early next year there were also be an event where all the trucks can be seen together in one big road show. the next edition of the asterix and comic books has hit the bookshelves now the story recounts the adventures of the galaxy hero and his portly sidekick but this time in italy more on this at the top of today's express. at long last he's back with a new adventure asterix and the chariot race. just thirty seven comic in the series has asked jackson travelling to ancient italy for the first time aside from a few brief appearances in rome a previous adventure is this is the third story penned by julian fifty and drawn by da coming up the dio took over from asterix is now ninety year old in this trying to about in two thousand and nine.

again this is. all produced by kani plus the musicians who loved it and signed as a kind of eccentric father figure. and shingled school i use any time i can to work with groups and to find new possibilities. and new forms of sound. in the late one nine hundred sixty s. and early seventy's bands like cough drug con annoy same here are shaking off old conventions and revolutionizing rock music. tony plunk was the one sitting at the controls even david bowie was impressed with the new crowd rock scene. carney plunks on stephane practically grew up in his father's studio. now he's made

a film about his death. the new i misspoke most people would say hey aren't you kone son. how did he do what he did by saying that and i didn't have an answer for that i was often full but now i do and for and the answer is that he likes musicians who are authentic the music and and he savored those moments when a man was just coming together band and really becoming a unit that he found and the siesta multiband filled. kind of clock studio was not in west berlin but in a small town outside cologne in a farmhouse that plunker had converted. to fit a style is the horse stalls are now the control room where all the equipment is used the mixing desk. far away from the charts the record companies the journalists only the music mattered. here is mix we're still trying to find their

feet when they recorded their first album here him one nine hundred eighty one the influence of crowd rock is easy to hear. this. stuff was before their big breakthrough and conny plank showed them the way they're. going. to fall that if you sat at the back and listened engineer the pusa it was allowed to go to touch the disco and anything you suggested. there would be no you can't do that because you know the levels will be coming up at the band's off he often encourage the band so that at some point they were basically just jamming a bit in the studio and he listened very carefully to what would happen then he

could rest and then he'd say don't change anything that were recorded just like that while. in the early one nine hundred eighty s. west german band d.f. came to the studio. they planned to record an album in three days they spent the first two experimenting. tony let the musicians do their thing and then he gave it all a lift who could you feel that. the result was d.o.f. provocative classic tungsten muscling in one nine hundred eighty one. it was a hit but. to me money is something that runs in and out just like my tapes and it runs through it and gets used. that's why we have a slightly different understanding of capital than the major industries. county plunk died of cancer at the age of just forty seven the film pays tribute to

a man for whom experimentation was always more important than success for home music was not a product but a must both for those who make it and for those who listen to it. switching gears now and for those of you in need of a co-actor but can't find the right one then why not build it yourself our resident d.i.y. expert sorry hansen shows us how. hi i'm glad the first impressions matter so it's great that people with your health and that's really something nice. today i want to show you how to make a coat right out of your class so you know. you need

a glued spruce wood board which you can get at the hardware store zar you chose one that's a two by twenty centimeters. wouldn't close hang is that he is using six identical ones hand so to cut the clothes hangers to size a piece of paper is somewhat larger than one of the clothes hangers a pen or pencil and the route that. a power screwdriver a four millimeter woodrell and a flat drill bit. cabinet suspension brackets and compatible screws. two millimeter woodrell and twelve compatible screws. sandpaper. painted in the color of your choice zob is using chalk paint because it creates a mat finish you can also get it at the hardware store you need a container for the paint a rubber band and a paint brush of course transparent wood wax to seal the paint. first place one of the clothes hangers on the piece of paper and trace its outline. then determine the

place where the clothes hanger is to be sort of pass mark the spot with a pencil and ruler and transfer that line to your template. now you can use the relates to place each of the hang is of a template in order to get an exact line for the cutting. using the handsaw saw the clothes hangers along the cutting line. when you've completed that step and measure out the positioning of the hangers on the wooden board first measure the desired distance to the outside edges. exactly as decided on a distance of ten center. it is to the side five to the top and six point five to the bottom use the pencil to mark where you want the drill holes to be starting with the first pencil mark make a cross above and below it be twelve centimeters so that all six clothes hangers can be placed equidistant from each other then drill the holes with a wooden bit you can smooth out the drilled holes with

a piece of sandpaper. in order to hang the co track put the cabinet suspension brackets on the reverse side first drill the holes for them with the flat drill bit you can find those in every hardware store along with this is a bench in brackets. now you can paint the wooden plank as desired on all sides allow the painter drawing thorough takes about half an hour which will paint then seal the surface using transparent well supplied with a paint brush or cloth. now you can mount this is pension brackets using the palace screwdriver and the screws on the left and right sides of the board. it's best to use a small drill bit to make holes in the clothes hangers before mounting them on the board position the holes exactly in the center and screw the hang is to the board from the back adjust the positioning as needed to. mount all the clothes hanging is this way. and then you can track is finished and ready to be hung on the wall.

and feel like you can pay back. or that will give co-directed a nice romantic event it's a lot. more advanced project if you ask me but if you would like to see that video again and try to yourself then just go to our youtube page called d w interior design all right moving on now to british and french harbor for all over curtis who has his camera out at all the major landmarks but instead of shooting the obvious curtains captures the atmosphere of the surrounding area now you might not even recognize where the picture is being taken that is exactly the point of his photography. this is buckingham palace as we know it the official london residence of the british monarchy and

a tourist attraction that's been photographed millions of times. british photographer all of a cut his time back home fantasy to capture an entirely different picture. the picture was taken because i find the humor of the white people some of these like asians particularly interesting the. way they do peculiar things that i'm completely invisible because i'm just another tourist to them. with this method is produced on usual images for his series. the famous sights visible they can only be guessed at best for example behind this. is the taj mahal in india. and this is what all of a cut. back on the coliseum. took this photo at the foot of the statue of liberty. the long view spending one

place the more the landscape yields is starts to speak back to you and i realize that one of the things that these locations have in common is that people spend very little time there have a cup of tea and ice cream and they going to take a box yep in that scene it done it. for this project all of the whole world for. taking photos in the vicinity of forty four tourist attractions. it all started with the pyramids in egypt. i was in cairo on a job and took the opportunity to visit the pyramids like any tourist would. i was surprised by half a million the place was even though i'd never visit. before so i walked around the base of the pyramid and find myself looking back out to the suburbs of giza and i was really struck by the in congress nature when i was seeing this brand new

private golf course sandwiched between the old city and the desert sand. this was the start of a journey that's also taken him to rio de janeiro and the lincoln memorial in washington. he turned his back on the great wall of china. as well as lenin's two in moscow that the last minute from not that i'm there overlooked in the sense that we looked over them. but there was a look in the sense of the neglected not just photographically the neglected environmentally and then a glinted architecture. for now curtis has had enough of photographing tourist attractions. he discovers one more motif of the buckingham palace. we've got three cowboys over here i mean for me that is fantastically interesting it's surreal it's in congress. and it's very funny. you know i would never have

scripted that in a million years and yet there they are. the way of st james is a popular pilgrimage for groups of all ages now it's actually a network of paths that runs throughout europe now all roads lead to santiago de compostela in spain but the best known part is the last section which covers a stretch of eight hundred kilometers across northern spain to the final destination of the shrine of st james the route is called camino and it's an unesco world heritage site since one thousand nine hundred ninety three. well while the pilgrimage has always been an important spiritual journey for many christians its popularity is now growing among ordinary tourists. since the one nine hundred ninety s. the number of pilgrims walking the way of st james has tripled twenty seventeen

will be another record year on the coming notice on thiago a hiking holiday instead of a spiritual journey. what is the height doing to the camino and the people who walk it. the first pilgrims get off to an early morning start like here in sharia and go. you're not alone for long runs off from hillary has been on the trail for two weeks now. and i don't know how much time we don't have. maybe one you know. when you. i'm planning to go to. the u.s. the point the money and they do they. most of the pilgrims choose the best known route to what is believed to be the grave of st james called the camino france ace it goes from france to santiago de compostela it's eight hundred kilometers long people go by foot bicycle head lately by taxi.

like i did oh yeah five minutes five minutes by taxi anyone can do that. i mean everything you just said it would just so you have a. lot of these mexican women book their pilgrimage on line including route mapping luggage service and daily taxi rides camino komodo the relaxed way to get to your destination. twenty one kilometers and six hours later a rest stop in porto marine the pilgrims passport is a kind of merit page collection stamps from every station is proof of the kilometers travelled. friend and merissa used to work in the fields now they run a hostel and restaurant the influx of pilgrims has given this agricultural region a real economic boost. some five hundred hostels have sprung up along the camino.

okies though we used to be very isolated here but this development is wonderful we can all make it to now we can and my. and that's good if we are not. the next stage ends in pa last array some seventy kilometers from santiago the missionary hopes that the increased traffic on the camino will also benefit the church. observant pilgrim sort of the path with those who have no faith. they come into contact with each other and talk to each other exchange experiences that's infectious. nonbeliever starts reflect just through contacts. backfield. for their religious spiritual or simply emotional those moments exist when the spirit of the way of st james appears . so beautiful.

downy approach to late season is worried that the tourism industry will ruin that spirit it makes the pilgrimage too easy. it was a lot of people don't even carry a backpack but at the end of the day the community is a metaphor for life. and you carry all your problems with you in your back pocket with what you know. just five kilometers to go to santiago de compostela back to reality the final leg leads through an industrial zone and the tourist area . finally we reach the cathedral of santiago. some people are happy others are pensive everyone has reached their own destination. this path is unique and it needs to stay that way that's the great hope of the people who walk it with such great expectations. and with that we wrap up today show as always thanks for tuning in and we'll see you again tomorrow
