discover new adventures in 360 degree. and explore fascinating world heritage sites. world heritage 360 getting maps now. american poet louise glick is this year's nobel prize laureate for literature but decision by the swedish academy surprise not just the world but also the author herself. here she is back in 2016 with president barack obama who was apparently pleasantly shocked when she received an early morning call from stockholm with the news the nobel committee said they chose her for her quote unstable poetic voice that with austere beauty makes individual existence universal

. and for more about the nobel prize in literature i'm joined by my colleague mike a crew guy mike how big of a surprise is this was no one had her on the list but this was the case in the recent years that somebody once no one expected to win so the surprise has become the rule right as you might say but after the announcement we were all searching for photos of her. and that and that manny she's not really famous but is not a nobody it's just obvious that poetry has not the weight that novels do maybe. it's also may be a safe choice just because after all the criticism in the last year we all expected a female writer right now most authors male or female can only dream about getting back early morning call from stockholm what do we need to know about louise glick

well that she is one of the most important living poets from the united states. she's from new york she's 77 years old i was when gary in jewish roots lives in massachusetts now is also a professor of english at university she has also won the pulitzer prize in 1993 and the national book award in 2014 for a collection of what iris yeah and she's the 1st american to win this prize since up in 2016 but you know he was a musician. only 4 years ago let's talk a little bit about the prize itself so the jury that decides who gets this prize is the swedish academy it's swedish literature experts living in sweden which i mean yes right now in the last years they've they've talked about maybe expanding their view of the world a little bit how they make good on that promise what is what is the signal what

signal are they sending with louise. here 1st of all the importance of poetry the site of all that. they really promise in the last year is to expand their horizons trying to be more global less european more diverse and we have now a very important poet from the united states she's a woman what about asia what about africa what about their talents the committee promised of all those from those continents on their list and that was really nobody saw in this way the result is a bit disappointed but of course the best should win right now i do think that this diversity is part of a new discussion around the prize how respected how relevant is the nobel prize today especially after the scandals of the last years absolutely the reputation of the economy suffered greatly the choice of the austrian writer peter hunt for example was

a gamble with this polarizing attitude to what the back and was and then the biggest scandal in the history of this price was of course about this couple the husband of one of the members of the comments he was accused of sexual abuse a financial misconducting he also broke the rules when it came to keeping the price when a rapper he told his it was going to win in advance exactly it was all an awful story and all of this exposed problems with a lack of transparency and obviously it's a very very exclusive club and maybe it still is and i don't know if this is really up to date in our days now michael krueger thank you so much for coming on the show thank you. and some more news now from the art world a 700 year old scroll has sold for 34000000 euros at an auction in hong kong the work by chinese master ren ren is titled 5 drunken princes returning on horseback

now it was china's last emperor who transported the scroll out of the forbidden city in 1902. dead animals on display in one didn't that can only mean one thing the wild child of the 1990 s. damien hirst is back the artist curated his own formaldehyde filled retrospective from his own collection of his own work worth hundreds of millions of pounds and it's still shocking today. also in london this year's freeze week and art fairs have kicked off but with the coronavirus it's a much quieter affair only some of the art is physically on display like these sculptures most galleries are trying to sell works online. sometimes artists help us see what's right in front of our noses take walls for instance they're everywhere walls protect us from intruders and from bad weather there is space to hang art walls also limit people's freedom of movement at borders or in prisons so

what do artists think about walls there's a new exhibition in stuttgart. banging your head against a wall here maurits your cattle and takes the saying a step further. 30 artists says she works of art all try to answer the question what is a wall the walls presented at the concert museum stuttgart reveal artists answers from the past 50 years this world is new feel it sram built it all rather destroyed it especially for the exhibition. they're stuck down it's also i made a hole and the idea is that the spatial elements can then permeate each other and create openings new perspectives annoyed distinctive mozart. another perspective is introduced by berlin artist g. believe. the best necessarily in the west people imagine walls as something

stable something that can't be moved to something made of stone or brick i'm originally from korea and wanted to give the subject an asian perspective. in asian countries were also more perceived as something flexible more permeable. walls in aren't. much more than the bare surfaces of a white cube style gallery. here they're even kind of cozy at least at 1st sight. idea of a fantastic for who gets this work by the rest of you who rather is about the viewer seeing the wallpaper as beautiful but on closer inspection you discover that the ornamental pattern is a collection of violence scenes. the exhibition addresses the topic of one's own 4 walls which we generally make beautiful with paint or wallpaper but often it's

these private spaces where violence takes place are about followed me to see. now i can. put. this word is architectural criticism in action for 41 days emily katrin chicks chewed her way through the wall of a gallery in the 1970 s. . and this work by bruce nauman is about the very real concrete interaction between wool and artist walls through the eyes of artists versatile surprising and sometimes tongue in cheek. sometimes we forget just how much of our lives is designed for us from the vehicles we get around in to the clothes we wear our windows even our coffee cups all aesthetic choices made by designers and now with electric cars design isn't just about form or function anymore it's also about sound. the

electric cars that make up their real sounds when you push down on the accelerator . electric vehicles are required by e.u. regulations to produce a sound the industry is working the personally on the acoustics for these cars. but very an auto maker b.m.w. has even hired the italian musician renzo batali to develop the right kind of sound . i enjoy the silence great but what happens if for example i want to experience the emotions of driving when i saw the new salary. composers a different sound collage for each model. he works on it just as he does on a piece of music that he composes for

a concert hall. sometimes what i do is just endlessly improvise that's where the magic happens a lot of. it so i consciously decided to bring vats into the automobile industry as well. because i thought there must be another way of giving sound to these machines and these object equipped each car has its own particular resonance and that inspires the unique sound of ren's of italy's compositions i close my eyes and then i open my eyes again and i ask myself what do you actually sound like when you talk to me what would your voice be. composing the sound for this electric prototype has been a unique experience. and. he spent 5 days and nights at the hollywood studio oscar winning german film composer hans zimmer who knows how important proper acoustics are. sound to 5 person lousy it adds

a brochure that store character. the sound of their lives the soul of everything and right now we have a really exciting part shaping the sound of the future. and this is how the b.m.w. vision m. next sound. friends of batali also delights concert goers all over europe with his music. his experience as a musician has been very helpful to him in the development of the electric vehicle sound. and he's already looking forward to the day when there are no more cars with combustion engines and street crossings to become concert halls but so i guess a lot of vehicles are instruments and the drivers are the performance of them and traffic is the most interesting sonic phenomenon of all because when you listen to

a beethoven symphony it's always the same but traffic is always different it's. the car as a musical instrument. renzo vitale and his colleagues are making sure that the acoustics of driving a car will soon be a pretty creative experience. pretty cool stuff but hopefully b.m.w. won't be putting out any albums speaking of music though if he were still alive john lennon would be turning 80 years old this friday and so we're going to and. there's an of arts and culture with his most beloved solar truck thanks for watching. mom. come.
