hello there and a warm welcome to arts and culture well it only took 60 years asked if he acts the pint sized super human gall who's pretty much akin to a national treasure in france is finally getting up with the times and before we tell you how here's a quick teaser of what else to expect on today's program. the kist of sculpture park in norway now has a new addition to tourist art galleries the band's 60 meters across the river. and the singular world of german artists they are paying is celebrated in a brand new exhibition in his hometown of the face.

well it was back in 1959 that the 1st asterix comics appeared in the franco belgian magazine 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 asterix is a modern version of david and goliath with his fame has spread far beyond france over 380000000 copies have been. the last edition sold 5000000 in 2 years along. with each other and really wasn't easy at 1st. we were lucky all 3 editions have been a success. others have been working together since 2030 but. daughter and i. still have the last word. merely snips here 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 on the other hand

they have to have a certain freedom. either way to original idea is very present a nerve. the current edition asterix and the chieftains daughter speaks to a new generation and the stories built around the lead female character named in the lead with a false image. the asterix comic already has many male characters so it's a lot easier for us to develop female listeners who suffer. so that we live in a time when women act differently and the perception of women has changed in but i wouldn't say that we've gone feminist with asterix he said but that just wouldn't work in the. asterix and his power 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 the

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 all right you can't say no to a national treasure. the cracking 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 he's got to be the center of the story. but 1st they'll have to see how asterix fans receive the latest volume. well to norway now where one of scandinavia as large a 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 engles group the twist serves a triple function as bridge sculptor 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 the twist gallery the exhibition hall and newest addition to the his defense museum in your neck unknown way ringback it twists it seemingly impossible 90 degrees and was designed by stella architects in minutes. we thought it would 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 the walls gradually become the feel one ceiling and face 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 but art. brand new respect their right. to it through the whole architecture is art is going to. the 60 meter long scan chest spans across the river runs. it saves both as a bridge and a sculpture class it connects 2 parts of the case to force museum the sculpture park opened in 1909 on the grounds of unfolds pulp mill the same landscape that

used to be littered with logs from the surrounding forests has been transformed into an open espec developed it includes masterpieces by artists like tony cragg and the 4 young english is the newest addition to this list of it less streets names i think every time you are making a building. with even that footprint you have the chance to create something that is closer to your dream world designs by blocking on sa shallots with a wound like this skyscraper in new york he wanted it to be innovative and playful also staying functional and sustainable just like the lego museum in denmark his company b.-i g. that bianca english group employs over the 500 stuff. currently planning the 2nd tower of the world trade center. as an architect you build the buildings of that opening days. and then you become

a guest writer but by the same time i think it's also important to remember that once once a project is finished that's when it's through life begins the life of the twist gallery as an exhibition hall bridge and sculpture has just begun. already has fascinating tales to tell. well he would have been 80 years old this month. best known under the pseudonym they are paying quest one of the most extreme and multifaceted figures of germany's post-war 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 at the in his native dressed in. the ninety's sixty's dressed in young artists set out to revolutionize arts think. is the leader of the art group and the kids compasses

within his country one who loves loud music even when he still looks conventional how he became an international star without going to proper school is the subject of an exhibition at the. science of evolution was he stood out in the way he began to look beyond his horizons at a very early stage and by showing an interest in things outside of. natural sciences cybernetics information theory informants who would still be. also had high ambitions right from the start he told himself by studying picasso and wanted to improve on rembrandt he was talented and irreverent happy workers pictures from the sixty's contrast with abstract works his most radical invention in 1961 the stick which he used to construct whole world. between top and bottom

west and east combining cave painting and modern cybernetics he created his own world language style and arts. article it was an attempt to put communication on a completely new level to say we communicate with words with text but also with pictures signs with pictograms take one said they should function like road signs that anyone can learn it's and that anyone can and should use it for. the exhibition does not show the excessive bearded superstar penc of the later years it focuses on the period up to 1080. pink wanted to do some think that art can do to show people the way. these are questions what is meant kind 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

a failure he didn't change the world but the world of art and he changed it in his dress 10 years. well it was as an orthodox as a pop song could be in 1975 queen's legendary bohemian rhapsody which just became the 1st free ninety's music video to hit 1000000000 views on you tube and for the occasion the band urged fans to submit their own renditions of the tune will leave you with some of those and all the best until next time.
