New Akropolis Museum

Yesterday’s official opening of the brand-new modern “Acropolis Museum” in Athens, Greece, has sparked new emotions about the significance of  ‘permitted looting’, which in my view belongs to the Past… whether it was about stealing an obelisk in Luxor, the “Elgin Marbles” in Athens or the incredibly beautiful stone and lava jewels when the earth shifted in Madagascar around 2000 (…this I could observe with my own eyes…) – it’s a total exploitation of ourselves; a looting of our own positive energies – and therefore a double loss: for those who see part of themselves go and for the stealing entity who is so unaware of what he invites.

This could become a discourse on many matters especially of ecologic nature… and in a way it should as it all has to do with our Environment and the attempt of many to cleanse and heal it, and as we are so unable or unwilling to do so, Nature itself will teach us a number of lessons still to come.

Today, we should focus on REAL evolutionary thinking and the corresponding Spirit and Attitude that inseparably go with it. Never the Knowledge and the possibility to attain it have been so available, so open and so present.

However, the path is not to be found ‘outside’ where most of us are looking and looting; the path lies within us.

Where the Akropolis Museum and Semiomantics meet

The New Akropolis Museum in itself is just another significant signpost, a token, a semiomantic context… stimulating us on our individual journeys to evolve into who we truly are.

As offline so online.

After turning the Internet and its many positive and promising attributes into a looting  loop – it’s time for Change and adopt an advanced attitude in today’s virtual world as well to allow for faster REAL evolution and REAL co-creation! The Era of Ethics will appear when we think-create-invite it!

New Akropolis Museum

Athens finally has its new modern Akropolis Museum for its vast collection of sculptures and artifacts from ancient Greece. The $200 million building of glass and concrete is situated on the South Eastern slope of the Acropolis hill, on that ancient road that led up to the “sacred rock” in classical times… and that was closed to me when I visited this majestic site almost exactly 5 years ago, just before the Olympic Games opened in the city they belong to!

Realizing this cherished brainchild of Konstantinos Karamanlis and Melina Merkouri - who was the first to suggest that the Elgin Marbles be renamed ‘The Parthenon Marbles’ - was a long journey…

The international competition was initially launched in 1989 – and eventually the design of currently New York-based Swiss architect Bernard Tschumi – in collaboration with Greek architect Michael Photiadis – was selected as the winning project.

In his architectural concept, Tschumi concentrated on “… light, movement (circulation), and a tectonic and programmatic element, which together turn the constraints of the site into an architectural opportunity, offering a simple and precise museum” with the mathematical and conceptual clarity of ancient Greek buildings.”

Living at the end of the world with not much possibility nowadays to see the latest archtiectural master pieces as I used to in my years in Europe, I especially enjoyed this 3D journey through the model, which shows strict adherence to the concept :

Clearly. . . this is the ONLY place where the “Parthenon Marbles” belong.

When do we wake up and understand the. . .  WHOLE. . . and its vibration?
