a comedian but how well does this coverage go with the museum will give it a try. twist performer nils altos is offering two hours through an exhibition of paintings. i got this way police for paul clay the basel based foundation byerly opted to hire out house and actor and comic to guide visitors through the museum can you see all right well park paintings are just a bit too small for my tour. money as this is my first guided tour comes the could you come over here so we can look at this painting. and all tell us is quite a respectable museum guide numerous times he's been nominated for switzerland's film prize fans consider him something like a swiss james dean and he sings too even though he's a biochemist by training now he's bringing his lighthearted ways to the cerebral

art world. i don't know about you but i always feel a bit tense in art museums. and i always wonder is this artwork evoking the correct emotion in me. of the am i looking at this piece from the right angle and why is the artist called this piece evacuation plan. i mean think of cave paintings. they are just badly drawn stick figures. and so now our tour has ended where. back with the stick figures. toyed with obstruction and nails on house takes a playful approach to pop play a challenge in this setting.

unlike a stage but here you can stroll around and walk through a group of people. you can talk to them you can't plan for everything but you'll realize that ok it'll take a few minutes until the last few visitors have walked over to me and the painting. so then you perform a little as you wait as a so i need to be flexible i like that. unfortunately clay is no longer available for comment but it's well known that this was born painter love to experiment. and swiss multi-talented nils. can you hear me is a performer who also loves experimenting. was born in band like me. later he moved back to his hometown as well not quite

like me. he didn't have a swiss passport as he was never naturalized. but we're proud of our paul clay. who didn't even have swiss nationality that's a positive about you know well. if you get up close you can see that this part here has been cut out and then pasted on top. of tells his presentation style is unconventional he combines gags with more serious takes on top plays approach to art a delicate balancing act. is a spirit. you could regard this painting as the final stage and high point of paul clay's abstract art work. but size not. really in what sense is clay an abstract painter aren't his works both abstract and representational with a little house here

a camel there were trees and all of it woven into paul claims and collected kuna verse a style that can't be pigeonholed. the exhibition features more than one hundred of clays works most of them in the small formats that the artist preferred. please follow me into the first room at a leisurely pace. of houses tour is an entertaining novelty though paul plays works are fascinating in their own right they're on show in basel till january twenty first. and now it's time for a new episode of start for a series today we take a trip to poland but instead of your we crest from bogota in colombia dosia caught says this there and wrote in to us wanting to know more about poland it's her dream

growing popularity on social networks has led to a number of presenter jobs here she's at a festival for a radio station from northern germany and she interviews musicians from around the world for her you tube channel. for being an influencer means constantly being online posting and reacting to other people's post. work and leisure time are inseparable and it's unclear how long the success will last. aside if i can't earn a living with it i can sell creeps again and be happy with that. despite her success i mean not a has both feet firmly on the ground and that's why her fans love her i also love her you tube channel and i'm sure we'll also find a lot of wind of photos on her instagram account next time maybe from
