New Urbanism Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
Perfection by Vincenzo Latronico
Millennial expat couple Anna and Tom are living the dream in Berlin, in a bright, plant-filled apartment in NeukĂślln. They are young digital creatives, freelancers without too many constraints. They have a passion for food, progressive politics, sexual experimentation and Berlin's twenty-four-hour party scene. Their ideal existence is also that of an entire generation, lived out on Instagram, but outside the images they create for themselves, dissatisfaction and ennui burgeon. Their work as graphic designers becomes repetitive. Friends move back home, have children, grow up. An attempt at political activism during the refugee crisis proves fruitless. And in that picture-perfect life Anna and Tom feel increasingly trapped, yearning for an authenticity and a sense of purpose that seem perennially just out of their grasp. With the stylistic mastery of Georges Perec and nihilism of Michel Houellebecq, Perfection, translated by Sophie Hughes, is a sociological novel about the emptiness of contemporary existence, beautifully written, brilliantly scathing.

đźď¸ FREE: Liechtenstein Gartenpalais "A History of European Art Market"
For English, scroll down :-)
**Deutsch:**
Der Kunstmarkt mit all seinen Akteuren, Institutionen und Mechanismen hat die Menschen schon immer fasziniert. Im Liechtenstein Gartenpalais läuft derzeit eine internationale Ausstellung, die sich erstmals genauer mit den Dynamiken des Kunstmarkts beschäftigt â also zum Beispiel mit Marktplätzen, Verkaufsstrategien und der Preisgestaltung.
In der Ausstellung zeigen die Sammlungen des Fßrsten von Liechtenstein, wie sich der europäische Kunsthandel entwickelt hat: von der Antike ßber die italienischen Stadtstaaten der Renaissance bis zum Goldenen Zeitalter der Niederlande und den spektakulären Präsentationen und transatlantischen Verkäufen im 19. Jahrhundert.
Dabei kannst du entdecken, dass viele Phänomene des heutigen Kunstmarkts eigentlich schon seit Jahrhunderten existieren. Da wichtige Entwicklungen oft in bestimmten Städten oder Regionen entstanden sind, widmen sich einzelne Räume genau diesen Zentren und zeigen, welche neuen Ideen und Praktiken dort entstanden sind. So wird deutlich, welchen groĂen Einfluss der Kunsthandel nicht nur auf die Verbreitung von Kunstwerken, sondern auch auf die Entwicklung der Kunst selbst hatte.
Zu sehen sind auĂerdem bedeutende Leihgaben aus internationalen Sammlungen â darunter Werke von **Tizian**, **Van Dyck**, **Monet** und **Klimt** â sowie wichtige Arbeiten aus den FĂźrstlichen Sammlungen von KĂźnstlern wie **Giambologna**, **Brueghel**, **Rembrandt** und **Canaletto**. Die Ausstellung bietet also eine spannende Reise durch die Kunstgeschichte und viele beeindruckende Werke.
Wir besuchen die Ausstellung gemeinsam als Gruppe und treffen uns dafßr am Eingang in der Fßrstengasse. Nach der Ausstellung treffen wir uns noch alle auf ein Getränk.
**English:**
The art market, with all its players, institutions and mechanisms, has always been a source of fascination. The Liechtenstein Garden Palace is currently hosting a groundbreaking international exhibition focusing on the underlying dynamics of the art market for the first time, such as marketplaces, sales strategies and pricing. In this exhibition, the Collections of the Prince of Liechtenstein shed light on the European art trade, from classical antiquity and the Italian city-states of the Renaissance to the Golden Age of the Netherlands, sensational presentations and transatlantic sales in the nineteenth century.
This allows visitors to experience how many phenomena of the art market are essentially centuries old. As trend-setting developments often originated in cities and regions, separate rooms in the special exhibition are dedicated to these centres of innovation, illustrating the progress and novel practices that took place there. This highlights not only the lasting impact of art dealing on the dissemination of works, but also on the development of the arts and art history.
With prominent loans from international collections â including paintings by **Titian**, **Van Dyck**, **Monet** and **Klimt** â as well as major works from the Princely Collections by artists such as **Giambologna**, **Brueghel**, **Rembrandt** and **Canaletto** â this exhibition offers a stimulating historical experience and a feast for the eyes.
**Information for our visit:**
* Further information on the Princely Collections can be found at: [www.liechtensteincollections.at](http://www.liechtensteincollections.at)
* We meet at 3. p.m. at the gate next to the street FĂźrstengasse [https://maps.app.goo.gl/EExmRD4bmRbAspoC7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/EExmRD4bmRbAspoC7)
* After visiting the Palais, we will have a drink together in the cafĂŠ "Das 1090" nearby.
Improv-Training for Mindful Spontaneity & Creative Flow (Session in German)
This is an event for ages 16 and up. Children are not allowed to participate. We cannot guarantee age-appropriate scenes and exercises.
**Stop overthinking and start playing!** đż This session is a soft, safe space to practice being present and letting go of perfectionism. Please note: The main part of this session will be held in **German**.
**Raus aus dem Kopf, rein in den Moment!** đ Hast du das GefĂźhl, oft festzustecken oder alles perfekt machen zu wollen? Improvisationstheater ist das perfekte Training gegen Procrastination und Perfektionismus. Hier lernst du, dem ersten Impuls zu vertrauen und mit dem zu arbeiten, was gerade da ist.
**Was dich erwartet:** In einer wertschätzenden Atmosphäre nutzen wir einfache Spiele und Bewegung, um:
* đą **"Ja, genau!" zu sagen:** Impulse annehmen statt sie zu zerdenken.
* ⨠**Fehler zu feiern:** Perfektionismus ablegen und spielerisch "scheitern".
* đ§ **Präsenz zu stärken:** Ganz im Hier und Jetzt reagieren.
* đ¤ **Gemeinsam zu lachen:** Kurze, humorvolle Ăbungen ohne Leistungsdruck.
**Der Ablauf:** Wir starten mit einer Stunde lockerer Gruppenspiele. Danach folgen sehr kurze, lustige Impro-Szenen.
**Wichtig:** Du machst nur das, worauf du Lust hast. Es ist ein Safe Space â keine Vorkenntnisse nĂśtig!
đ¤ **Host:** Simon Brauner (Ăźber 70geleitete Trainings)
Das Event ist kostenlos. Wir bitten um Spenden fĂźr das Nachbarschaftszentrum.
**Komm vorbei, lass den Planungsmodus hinter dir und entdecke die Freude am Moment. Wir freuen uns auf dich! đ**

Wirklich sehen, hĂśren, fĂźhlen â Wie geschärfte Wahrnehmung Nähe ermĂśglicht
### **,,Wirklich sehen, hĂśren, fĂźhlen â Wie geschärfte Wahrnehmung Nähe ermĂśglicht''**
**Workshop fĂźr Sinne, Selbsterkenntnis & Beziehungstiefe**
***
**Was, wenn echte Verbindung nicht durch Reden, sondern durch Wahrnehmen beginnt?**
Wie nah wir anderen kommen â in Partnerschaft, Freundschaft oder Familie â hängt oft davon ab, **wie klar und fein wir wahrnehmen kĂśnnen**: uns selbst, den anderen, die Situation.
In diesem Workshop schulen wir unsere Sinne â **sehen, hĂśren, riechen, fĂźhlen** â und erkennen, was zwischen Wahrnehmung und Reaktion liegt: unsere gelernten Muster, Schutzmechanismen und tiefen BedĂźrfnisse.
***
**Inhalte & Ăbungen**:
* Wie âWahrâ-nehmung funktioniert â und wie sie getäuscht werden kann
* Sehen, HĂśren, Riechen, FĂźhlen bewusst trainieren â mit alltagsnahen Ăbungen
* Schulz von Thun: Was hĂśre ich wirklich, wenn jemand spricht?
* Virginia Satir: Welche Reaktionen schĂźtzen mich â und verhindern Nähe?
* Karen Horney & Bindungstheorie: Warum wir uns so schwer tun mit Kontakt
* Sinneserfahrungen mit Alltagsgegenständen (z.âŻB. Kaffee, Stoffe, DĂźfte)
* Achtsame Selbstwahrnehmung & ehrlicher Austausch in Kleingruppen
***
**Warum das wichtig ist:**
Viele Kommunikationsprobleme und Beziehungskonflikte entstehen nicht durch bĂśsen Willen â sondern durch **nicht wahrgenommene Signale**, alte Muster oder unbewusste Schutzreaktionen.
Wenn wir die Welt feiner spĂźren lernen, **werden wir echter, weicher, verbindlicher** â ohne uns zu verlieren.
***
**FĂźr wen?**
FĂźr Menschen, die sich selbst und andere besser verstehen wollen â nicht theoretisch, sondern **im SpĂźren, Erleben und im echten Kontakt**.
***
đ**Ort:** jeden Sonntag
đ **Zeit:** 11:00-14:30
â **Mit Sinnesimpulsen wie Kaffee & DuftĂźbungen** Kaffee & kleine Snacks inklusive!
đś **Beitrag:** 25âŹ
đ **Anmeldung:** Ăźber Meetup oder Emailanmeldung unter: orhanberatgueclue@gmail.com

Saturday Mornings @ East Market
Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating.
Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator.
Per what this group is about:
"Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who enjoy talking to people from other countries, and those who would like to discuss international travel and culture, and who enjoy getting together for good conversations."
Wine Tasting - Newcomers Night
This is "***New Members Night***." If you are one of the many folks on the fence about coming to your first wine tasting with the *Hilliard Wine Club*, this is the night to come. There will be many other new people, so you won't be alone. And the regulars will be there to help make you feel welcome. We're a relaxed and warm group. We hope to see you.
**SIDE NOTE:** New members are welcome to ALL our Friday night wine tastings, but this night is a special overture to those who don't want to feel that they are the only new person in the room. Don't worry. You won't be. And don't hesitate to RSVP to other events.
**OLD MEMBERS NOTE**: Hey Old Members! You're not excluded from this event. We expect to see you there to help make the new members feel welcome.
**Sample 4 different wines** this Friday for $15 (*Cash or Venmo only please*). Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share if you care to. See all the details below for the Hilliard Wine Club Wine Tasting. In Person. In Real Life. Actual Wine from glass bottles with corks and everything.
**Wine**: Tastings will be $15 for four samples as always. And you are welcome to bring a bottle of your favorite wine to share with others. Participation in the wine tastings is optional. But since youâre going, I will buy enough wine to cover you. If you bring your own wine and do not participate in the tasting you will only pay $10 to cover the door charge.
**Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby.
**Glasses**: âŚwill be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass!
**Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing.
**Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, itâs still worth mentioning. We donât have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please donât mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions.
**Extra Wine**: After everyone has had their samples, we remove the pouring spouts and any remaining wine is poured freely to whomever wants it. I hate having leftover wine.
**Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum and Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies, clowns, and actual circus. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic.
**After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still havenât had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee.
Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends.
Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***,
**Red 1 Realty**
*Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*
Shut Up & Write!ÂŽ East Side Columbus
Join us for an hour of writing! Weâve discovered that itâs strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if itâs true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, March 25 at Streetlight Guild.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
**SCHEDULE:**
6:45ish - Quick introductions
7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:00 - The End
**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
**BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!
**WHAT SHOULD I BRING?**
Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**
* **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space!
* **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels.
* **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay!
