Met Brian and Nat for breakfast and the strolled to the Hamburger museum. Excellent video installation – 12 screens playing simultaneously, staring Cate Blanchet. Images more powerful than the words best was a piece about alienation. Blanched moving garbage from one place to another. Also one about puppets. The pan of the faces was gorgeous. Hall a long lunch and then visited the Marx collection. Mostly pop and abstract expressionists from the the 60s but each piece was some of the best I’ve seen from the period.

More wandering the city and then a short rest at Brian’s Hotel before we were all off to Nat’s Birthday dinner at a Korean tapas restaurant. We ordered everything on the menu. Met a friend of Brian’s who offered to have dinner with me later in the week. A date in Berlin with a documentary film maker. Yes!
One of the 12 dinner dishes we ordered.
Korean Tapas ala Deutschland – that dish looks so wonderfully German.
