Beer, Geography, and Art

Day 4 and 5:


I've been relaxing and enjoying my time here in Klagenfurt.  Yesterday I got a little tour of the forest and lake from a kind little tour guide, and last night I helped our quiz team tie for fourth place, thanks to my skillz in the Geography round.  Also, I drank a Duff beer.



On the ride home, I ate something like a hotdog or a spam sandwich (from a gas station) with cheese and confusion.  But it had mustard on it so it was all good.

Today the skies have opened up on me for the first time since Ireland.  I suppose my run of great weather could only last so long.  I took advantage of the rain and went to the modern art museum here in town.  The highlight of the museum was an artist named Inge Dick.  I sat in a dark room with a projection of the color red on one of the walls.  In the bottom right hand corner was a time clock counting up.  I stayed in the room from 8:55:17 to 9:01:55 and while I'm pretty sure the red never changed, I couldn't be 100% sure.



The other highlight was an artist named Manuel Knapp.  It was like Wolf Eyes meets low quality instructional videos and another projection, this one with black and white shifting images.  I could find no pattern, but I left the room before my eyes exploded.
