Tried the art in the bunkers just before lunch - not sure it was worth the hike, even though you got to wear a hard hat
In the late afternoon, I went to the Karlsaue Park to finish my trip - lots of work scattered around and a lovely place for a relaxing wind down after all of the excitement of the morning.
Had to go on the Swiss Chard Ferry by Christian Philipe Muller
And through Gabriel Lester's pipe, Transition.
Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller's sound piece in the middle of the forest didn't really work for me - compared to their piece in the station it was difficult to really lose yourself in the sound installation.
Fuck the art, let's go sail some boats ...
I did like Shinro Ahtake's shed and caravan installation, Mon Cher ; A self portrait as a scrapped shed - but then I like sheds...
Only spotted the canoes in the tree as I left the site .
Number five found and that's the full set ...
Just have to track down the related songbook - which has sold out.
Finished the day with a return trip to see all of Mika Taanila's three channel video installation, titled The Most Electrified Town in Finland. This is about the construction of the first nuclear plant built in the Western world after Chernobyl, in the small town of Eurajoki, Finland.
It was intended to open in 2009 but has been delayed due to bad planning and technical problems - feels like a pre-apocalyptic vision of a happy go lucky town and its small optimistic community.
The time lapse photography is really effective and allows you to see massive sclae construction in action.
Two local food finds to finish with:
Rhubarb pastry and Der Klasicker - ultra thin crust pizza base with red onion, gouda and bacon.
