Re: Art and Swiss Creativity

Quote:
Evil actually I understand your point and I agree that the creative fields here are not on the same level as UK in general and London in particular. I was just sticking up for my Swiss mates who are creative and and not the typical conformist Swiss. They don't deserve to be lumped in with everyone.

Btw Giger was not allowed to display one of the alien models outside his studio entrance. Why? The locals found it offensive or something I don't know what happened in the end.
True, it is not the same as in the UK or the US, or in many parts of Europe.

I'd heard about that with him. Not surprised that people would find it offensive in the little bit of Chur where he lives! I need to get up to his bar one of these days...
