Arts.21 - The Cultural Magazine

This week, ARTS.21 will be reporting from two major cultural events in Venice: the film festival and the architecture biennale. We'll also be looking at the new book by Günter Grass - comprising a study of the German language and the Brothers Grimm - and last but not least, we'll be heading off on the last leg of our Grand Tour, which takes us to Bavaria.

What's up with German film? The Venice Film Festival

The German presence at this year's Venice Film Festival is far from high-profile: the only German entry vying for the Golden Lion award is Tom Tykwer's latest offering DREI (Three).

But Hollywood is out on the Lido in force, and this year's festival has some strong international contenders too. Venice is giving Cannes and Berlin a run for their money.

Desire – The Architecture Biennale in Venice

This year's German Pavilion is decked out in the national colors with billowing golden curtains at the entrance and a red salon inside. The walls are adorned with sketches by more than 150 German and international architects.

The theme is "Desire," and is the work of the Munich-based team "Wahlverwandschaften" (Elective Affinities). The focus is on emotion and sensuality in contemporary architecture.

The Brothers Grimm – In the Words of Günter Grass

In his new book, Günter Grass tells the story of the Brothers Grimm. The work is a declaration of love to the German language. Nobel Prize-winning writer Grass looks at the various chapters in the lives of the brothers; their mission to collect fairytales and their illustrious contemporaries.

«Grimms' Words» retraces German history from the early 19th century to the first tentative steps of German democracy.

Grand Tour (Episode 10) – The Bavarian Museum Landscape

Bavaria is home to a staggering number of art museums. In this week's GRAND TOUR we visit three of them:

The Gabriele Münter Haus in Murnau; the Franz Marc Museum in Ried near Kochel and the Museum on Lake Starnberg, built by novelist Lothar Günther Buchheim.
