Urban Nation Museum

Guten Morgen/Tag/Abend or whichever time of the day it is. Every cloud has a silver lining, so has my blog. Inspired by a recent lesson, I decided to share my fave museum's story. Last year, about the same time I took a quick city break to explore some art in our neighbour's country with my friend. Berlin seemed to be the best option for us and it appeared to have many lovely corners. Nevertheless, it was the Urban Nation Museum that we enjoyed the most.
First of all, the entrance is totally free of charge which was important for us, 2 broken girls (pun intended). However, there was a possibility to donate some money inside. And I think that's quite a nice solution since murals that decorate the building outside are often changed. We had a chance to spot this one which was designed by Dima Rebus from Russia.

However, the inside was compelling as well. There was an initiative to create some street and urban's pieces due to vandalism which was frequently reflected well... at streets of Berlin. The museum itself was opened in September 2017 preceded by a few years of meticulous projects. The inside is so riveting thanks to bridges that assist in the sightseeing of a dozen of exhibitions including a variety of sculptures paintings, installations etc. This place is broadly focused on a contemporary and urban art as it's indicated by its name. I've really had some trouble choosing among may favourites ones, because all of them were unique and were created by artists all over the world who decided to make an international art's exchange with the museum in Germany. But here are some of prettiest, most cherished pieces of art:

Many of them included a comic books' influence and are commonly a tribute for the modern art and artists. In my opinion it's amazing when art evokes emotions in general and I found many of them due to my visit in Urban Art Museum and I highly recommend this place to go. Finally, I'm gonna leave you with my favourite place in the whole museum. Cheers!

Sleep Paralysis

Today I've wanted to take a closer look at sleep paralysis and all the questions connected to this subject. Unfortunately, this isn't something new for me as I was exposed to this sort of occurrence many times before. From my own experience, I can say that this is a living nightmare. I'm able to fall asleep, but then suddenly I'm starting to feel conscious, and I can have my eyes opened, but then I'm still half asleep, so I don't have any control over my mind. Even though my mind is awake, my body is still paralysed. I couldn't distinguish all the phenomena before, but it seems that I passed all three stages of sleep paralysis. One of them is called "incubus" - but the definition is quite different from what usually is associated with "the incubus" known as an evil spirit. During this kind of paralysis, I witness a feeling of suffocation, experienced by the unknown energy. The second stage can be known as "the intruder", this o...

For All Mankind

"For All Mankind" was definitely the best series that I watched last year and there were plenty of those due to a horrible global phenomenon that rhymes with "academic". This is an alternative history of a space race between the Soviet Union and the USA that happens through the years, starting in the 60s. The story begins with a piece of exciting news that the Russians landed on the moon before the Americans. And of top of that one of the astronauts was a female. We can witness not only a breathtaking cosmic adventure, enriched with a marvellous soundtrack (Jimmy Ruffin, David Bowie) but also stories of struggles of NASA members and their respective families. It was also interesting to see a portrayal of feminism in these years. Unfortunately, the series isn't broadly commented, and it deserves so much more recognition, because the creators really paid attention to details. The show itself was created by Ronald D. Moor, who is known for writing scenarios for suc...

If You Have Ghosts (You Have Everything)

That's a title of the song originally written and performed by Roky Erickson. But I'd like to focus on the band who covered it and its performance became even more famous. And of top of that it's called Ghost. According to Wikipedia, the one and only credible source, the band was formed in 2008 in Sweden and includes 7 (holy number) nameless ghouls who are responsible for all the instrumental part during live shows. Moreover, they change their costumes and masks every album they release. The same rules apply to the leader of the group - Tobias Forge who happened to have 5 incarnations meanwhile. He has performed as Papa Emeritus, Papa Emeritus II, Papa Emeritus III, Cardinal Copia and recently as Papa Emeritus IV. A revealing of the new persona usually comes with strong emotions among fans. I had a chance to participate in Ghost's concert last year for the very first time and witnessed the incarnation of Cardinal Copia, which was an amazing experience. The choice of t...
