across the river. and the singular world of german are has a are paying is celebrated in a brand new exhibition in his home town of to face. well as back in 1959 at the 1st asterix comics appeared in the franco belgian magazine lot and 38 volumes later and just in time for its 60th anniversary asterix and the chieftains daughter has just been published with a nod to the politics of today because for the very 1st time in history the tiny goal actually steps aside to let a female hero drive the narrative. asterix is celebrating his 60th birthday with a brand new adventure the fans can hardly wait. to creators are once again. and. it's their 4th book they're the successors of the

asterix originators. and. typical hero he's no superman but more a caricature when you look at him you can't really take him seriously. if. the little guy uses his brains and bravery against the romans brawn he wins every time as a modern version of david and goliath with humor his fame has spread far beyond france over 380000000 copies have been. the last edition sold 5000000 in 2 years and. 2 new authors who could put up with each other and for us i really wasn't easy at 1st. we were lucky all 3 editions have been a success. and working together. since

2030 but. daughter and. still have the last word. to me 1st they send me a summary and then the new chapters one by one if i get the feeling that the ideas are moving too far away from the original concept i let them know that on the other hand they have to have a certain freedom. either way to original idea is very present you know. the current edition asterix and the chieftains daughter speaks to a new generation and the story's built around the lead female character named. were for similar. the asterix comic already has many male characters so it's a lot easier for us to develop females. who suffer. so that we live in a time when women act differently and the perception of women has changed but i wouldn't say that we've gone feminist with asterix just one work.

asterix and his have to deal with a rebellious teenager it's a smart move considering how popular asterix is with young people even read in french classes this one is peppered with references everyone will get a blacksmith's son for instance is called self exists. in a book i overheard a mother tell her son you're not getting anything he disappeared and came back with an asterisk on it his mother said. you can't say no to a national treasure. the crack writer illustrator team seem to have no shortage of ideas they've already worked out which way the next adventure is to go. in the next edition i want asterix to take an ironic look at himself. to be able to really laugh at himself but to do that this has got to be the center of the story. but 1st they'll have to see how asterix fans receive the

latest volume. all to norway now where one of scandinavia is largest sculpture parks is attracting lots of attention because in addition to its nearly 50 sculptures by norwegian and international artists it now has a stunning new feature created by the danish bianca ingles group the twist serves a triple function as bridge sculpture and a museum in itself transforming the problem of some an even river banks into an ingenious design. the weld of architecture is all the buzz everyone is talking about the twist no not that twist between scarry the exhibition hall and newest addition to the kids the 4th museum in your neck a new way it twists a seemingly impossible 90 degrees and was designed by stealth tax incentives.

we thought it could be amazing if that i was you could also be the way to get from one side of the river to the other then once you're crossing the river when you get these new perspectives you're going to get some look over the river so there's always this idea that. we have the chance to give the world something that the life of the people of the future something that they don't already have and i think that power is the true power of architecture. the danish which was a brought his vision to life on the inside and outside as you move through the structure of the walls gradually become the feel one ceiling and vice versa. even before it was opened to the public his creation was the talk of the town living in the neighborhood i'm really proud of this business world class art. brand new respect their right. to it good hearted architecture it's art there's

been. this 60 meter long scotch and spans across the river runs south. it serves both as a bridge and a sculpture as it connects to parts of the case to force museum the sculpture park opened in 1999 on the grounds of an old pulp mill the same landscape that used to be littered with logs from the surrounding forests has been transformed into an open aspect it includes masterpieces by artists like tony cragg one chap for. english has been us to dish and to this list of it lustrous names i think every time you're making a building. with the aim of that footprint you have the chance to create something that is closer to your dream world designs by bianca in the us i shall it with a wound like this skyscraper in new york he wanted it to be innovative and trayful also staying functional and sustainable just like the lego museum in denmark his

company b.-i g. the bianca and hans group employs over 500 stuff back current planning the 2nd tell us the world trade center. as an architect you build buildings and they're not opening days. you hand over the key to the museum. and then you become a guest writer. but at the same time i think it's also important to remember that once once a project is finished that's when it's to life begins the life of the twist gallery as an exhibition hall bridge and sculpture has just begun but you don't read he has fascinating tales to tell. well he would have been 80 years old this month. best known under the pseudonym a are paying course one of the most extreme and multifaceted figures of germany's postwar art scene and the story of his rise to fame in former communist east germany to his eventual forced departure to the west in 1980 is now told in detail

art can do to show people the way. these are questions what is mankind where do we come from where do we go what is life how can one work together what can we set up what can we build up what can we destroy. by 980 in dresden pank had already become a star with a place in the new world movement in the west back then people didn't expect much from painting thanks to the research of documentary filmmaker thomas klaus the show also features rediscovered paint films from the time of the gap. was the center of dress tunes underground and also promoted experimental art film and media arts at a time that this was only just beginning in the west only a few of these films were known most most forgotten this recovered time capsule is
