Right now we are celebrating the official opening of the exhibition "so sorry" of Ai Weiwei in Munich’s Haus der Kunst. China’s most well known artist in the Western World and the Internet is an icon of our times. As a controversially perceived political human being he is pointing at structural violence.
The expression: "So sorry" probably the most used non-F-word by people with marginal or no proficiency in the English language is a strong account for these kind of violence.
If you say: "I am sorry" you usually admit that you did something wrong and you ask the ones being affected by your wrong behaviour and actions for forgiveness. In order to be forgiven you have to understand what was wrong and as a consequence of regretting your shortcomings you have to change your behaviour, to stop your misguided actions and to try to prevent future failures.
If you just say: "I am sorry" (without really meaning it, i.e. understanding the concept of forgiving) and continue with your mistakes consciously, because you have the power to do so. The ones affected will not be able to forgive you; they will be frustrated, will lose trust and will seek to restore justice. If they do so in a violent way, they will also have to say "I am sorry" one day.
Maybe art has the chance to highlight and make understandable problems of structural power and violence in its unique non-violent way.
For now: Enjoy the show.

Every time I return to kloster-einsiedeln.ch where I did spend more than two and a half years during the last 15 year, I immediately feel at home. For me the monks, the abbey and the benedictine culture creates an atmosphere of community and brotherhood in Christ.
I wish you and your beloved ones a Happy Easter and scared blessings, irrespective of your spiritual tradition.
The british guardian considers gerhard richter a ‘picasso of the 21st century’, the frankfurter allgemeine newspaper sees him as ‘the master of all genres’. gerhard richter (*1932, dresden) will be present tonight at the pre-view of his exhibition: gerhard richter – abstract pictures organized by the "Gesellschaft der Freunde der Stiftung Haus der Kunst"* in Munich.Over the past few days, we have received a lot of feedback about the new terms we posted two weeks ago. Because of this response, we have decided to return to our previous Terms of Use while we resolve the issues that people have raised. For more information, visit the Facebook Blog.
If you want to share your thoughts on what should be in the new terms, check out our group Facebook Bill of Rights and Responsibilities.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After 2 days of heavy discussions and complaints in the "net community" Facebook has taken its unannounced modification of its Terms of Use back.
This was no surprise, since the membership in any social network is based on trust. People disclose their contacts and relationships and share secrets online, believing they are able to control their rights and their level of privacy.
As world-wide discussed Facebook would have been able to monetize and commercially use all your personal content and contributions ever placed on the platform. Even if you have already cancelled your account.
Even if the financial exploitation of the network was never intended, as being claimed now. You do not foster trust, by secretly changing your Terms of Use. The real surprise for me was, that it had taken 2 weeks before the first bloggers recognized the Change.
Hopefully the future Bill of Rights and Responsibilities will be created and announced in a more public way. Todays announcement to all users (see above) proves: Yes they Can!!!
