Koolhaas and his Seoul

The best Beads can be discovered by accident. When channel surfing in front Insbettgehen I see a Korean palace hang on CNN, and stay there sits Rem Koolhaas. His mark of world-famous architect and Harvard professor. And what does he do? First, a little while to blaspheme against the West, who understands him and hindered his art.

.

And then he leads the CNN reporter around "his Seoul. And this documentary shows, how to apply correctly Seoul. Not with smiling models and disgustingly expensive campaigns. It takes a world-renowned celebrities and let him talk about very personal aspects of Seoul. This leaves impression. I almost hope that the city Seoul has funded this interview will be broadcast worldwide.

.

As they are sitting in the garden of sweet Gyeonghuigung Palace before the Prada Transformer udn talk very informally about art. And that he can no longer work in the West and wants. There, you will, believe that a building forever, beautiful, disturbing and should not cost anything possible. That is consistent but his understanding of art in any way. Just as he can accept that to be condemned in the West functionality and rationality of a city without the opportunities and advantages of the "generic city" even to imagine. How true, how true!

.

And then are some more: his self-proclaimed pet project rather than the west lot of CCTV Center noticed in Beijing, but the Art Museum of Seoul National University, a building that seems to float above the campus and allows the passage between the Campus parts .

.

.
What would change Koolhaas in Seoul?
.
nothing. No matter where you change something, somewhere else will be built again. Seoul is not controllable, not planned - and that is his charm. He won praise explicitly specific projects that have tangible benefits for the city.

.

What is the character of the city?

.

exactly the constant change: There will always be quarter that develop, which always hang back - and more importantly: Seoul is not a planned city. Even in the center there will be more run-down cottage and even in the so-called poor areas there will always be glittering palaces. This leaves the city still mixed, always authentic and original. A very interesting point, I think that everyone can see every day on the road, but is rarely highlighted as a positive point. But I know in fact, no city in which ordinary people and upper-class Sun together, woven together act like in Seoul.

. Not

least, it was just functionality, despite the chaotic, confusing and unpredictable, which constitutes the charm of a city. This was in many Western cities have already wiped out almost completely. When I look at German Cities with their conservation rules look, I think I understand what is meant by Koolhaas.

.

What he prefers to Seoul, as an architect?

.

Koolhaas says that there is no other city with such a natural beauty. No matter how you build, you always have wonderful views, viewing angle and landscapes everywhere, so you always have a beginning and always planning for his guidance. There is the story that Koolhaas has reduced the large picture window in a lecture hall because he was afraid that all the people just outside the impressive mountain panorama and no one listens to the speakers noted.

.

What is build on in Korea so special?

.

freedom. Although he had also in Korea no Carte Blanche, are not able to spend $ 10,000,000 to open own pleasure. But, and this is very important to him: he can still change until the last minute details and deliver such a perfect result with which he is happy. This could not be outside of Asia.

.

All in all a really impressive man with few words and a calm manner, rather hearty arguments provides. And last but not least, you realize that the man knows Seoul really good. Definitely not the usual "I like to eat bulgogi, all Koreans are great" interview.

Amadeus, Amadeus.

every three to seven people who have wondered outside the "industry" this spring about the fact that no " Amadeus Austrian Music Award " took place, were assured: Does it still exist. (September 10) and later "entirely new". New team, new format and everything.

Mario Rossori who geschupft nine years of this great food with a previous transfer statuette was against a conglomerate around Gaissmaier Michi ("Heinz" singer) and Niko Alm (Super-Fi) replaced.

is now probably meant well to this change, a signal for a new start, restart or what always will be. Unless there is insight, I swing my opinion, based on this somewhat bold: Mario Rossori was a contractor of the organizer IFPI (the industry association) are often in trouble, according to the wishes and requirements of the old grandees of plants in this body. And - I speculate: They were not seldom rather quixotic. Great TV show with big international stars, great importance and great interest - as wish well and good, but as a reality would be The play about the attempt of SV Mattersburg, Champions League. There was a lack of real substance rather in the (national) Pop-trade - something the industry itself bears the principal.

The new team, however, has used the start-up bonus and long enough "fresh start" initiative, until they were given exactly that. Therefore, the "new" Amadeus has also deserves a fair chance. Generally positive, the omission of international categories that were neither in Germany nor for this world, Shakira and Pink's any weight or meaning. Consequently the positive intention, increased attention to "artistically valuable" productions and a slightly wider range of genre division.

One or devil is in the details. So far, the five from the respective categories of nominees with their charts and selling securities "legitimized" in order to face in the wake of a 400-member industry panel, which really sometimes a little strange-looking lists without (the jurors) relevant representatives of the victorious have determined.

will now determine each 20 "experts" five nominees in their respective genres - I "may" even as one of the elect in the jury "Alternative / Rock" Select. Then engages the audience and selects the winner via Internet voting. The process was then reversed in a certain way - and is therefore a reckless compromise.

Man avoids a real "Critics Award" to be, probably to forestall the argument that it binds the audience not. The audience, however, is without a TV Partner (as it looks now) in any case difficult in amounts to be a co-moving (which is a shame in any case). And it is well know with the critics list, in some cases as little start, as it did with the Branchenfuzzis of teenagers in the scoring singles purchased artificial pop starlet of little artistic importance.

addition, the jury course, again a very close level committee, but no real decision makers. And it is not a jury of critics, but rather a reflection of the industry itself - ie only a limited form of "old" jury. Why should I sit as a directly interested party, as a representative of artists in this genre in this jury and may, mine is a classic Austrian mystery. Colleagues are probably represented by friendly label - but that just makes it strange: Select Tactically for its "own" artist? They deliberately leave out, even though they are "neutral" thought was the best? No, these thoughts should have no role to play - in fact, the judgments should be left to journalists and experts "from outside".

The genre distribution is perhaps the last remaining balance of the past practice to surrender to the market power. While pop songs and folk music are two separate genres, that distinction can be seen from the list of jury members (there are 90% the same), not to offend the little Jazz / World / Blues Group deal on a giant conglomeration in their genre. The problem is so far the (again, to be well-intentioned) freedom, that the jury members decide what they "their" genre would assign.

mid-July we will already know a bit more, then the nominee (that is, the results of jury votes) announced, then the public gets into the ring. Without much TV marketing and such, but with a focus on co-determination through Web 2.0 applications. But for a second time more. I will naturally developing process of this renewed Austrian Music Award follow closely and comment.
