Work Hard – Play Hard
Carmen Losmann (Director)
Germany 2011
90 min.
Cool staged documentary about the modern working world, in which the boundaries between lifestyle and work vanish rapidly. A disturbing trend that is aimed at the optimal utilisation of the ‘resource’ human.
LAZINESS. A DIFFICULT DISCIPLINE
Anne Hamilton, Manfred Koch
157 pages
A very good read on the history of laziness.
Not having to work was considered the perfect condition in the ancient world and in the Middle Ages at least not negative per se. But modern times brought about the belief in progress and the desire for change and therefore, laziness got condemned.
Today we are all super busy, not only when at work, but also in our leisure time. And we even have to explain ourselves, if we want to do just nothing in our leisure time. Just recently the idea of slowing down has begun to gain acceptance again, as more and more struggle with overwork and stress.

Japan – Fragility of Existence
Masterpieces from the Genzō Hattori Collection
28 09 2012 to 18 02 2013
Through films like Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Kill Bill’ traditional Japanese art reached a wider audience. And of course, the film’s theme has a lot to do with the fragility of existence, which is quite important to Japanese culture.
The exhibition in the ‘Leopold Museum’ presents around 50 masterful and previously unseen examples of traditional Japanese ink painting (Sumi-e) and calligraphy (Shodō) from the ‘Genzō Hattori Collection’. It covers works from the 12th to the 20th century. The exhibition is complemented by Japanese colour woodcuts from the ‘Leopold Collection II’.
