Pureblood reflections in Istanbul Turkey

Filed under: Gay Friendly Hotels, Great Gay Destinations, Travel — Admin @ 11:15 am

By Michele De Capitani

  The exhibition will take place at Istanbul Modern, the citys first private museum dedicated to modern and contemporary art, which was created in 2004 to support various forms of art by displaying important works to the public. The museum hosts both a permanent and various temporary exhibitions, and it gives space to different artists and to all forms of art: in the museum, indeed, visitors can find paintings, pictures, sculptures, as well as videos and other works realised with innovative tools.

The museum is divided into two main areas: in the first one the permanent exhibition is held, which is always worth a visit. The themes and the organization of the works, indeed, change annually, to permit visitors to try a new path every time they enter the museum. The second area of the museum is where temporary exhibitions take place: every year the museum hosts around 3 or 4 exhibitions, including retrospectives, Turkish modern art and international contemporary art works.

The exhibition Pureblood Reflections is one of the first temporary events hosted in the museum in 2009. It is a particular exhibition, and it is based on the works realised by the photographer Peter Mller Peter that are dedicated to the Yeguada de la Cartuja horses, a particularly well-known breed which was present at the courts of Europe ever since the 12th century. This type of horse, also known as Cartujano, is considered as the purest strain of the Andalusan breed, and is characterised by beautiful proportions, graceful movements, a noble and docile nature and energy. These horses are usually grey (but some of them are black or chestnut), they have small ears and a broad forehead. It is probably thanks to their noble proportions, and to their presence at the main European courts, that several artists have decided to portray them in their works. An evidence of this is given by the exhibition held at the Istanbul museum of modern and contemporary art.

The work realised by Peter Mller Peter is particularly interesting, because with his works he portrays this breed in a new way, but also because the artist shows how it is possible to mix two different kinds of artistic expressions: painting and photography. Mller, indeed, took some photographs of those horses, and then he joined them to some famous paintings realised by important artists, such as Rubens, Velzquez, Goya, Macke and Carpaccio, who portrayed horses of to the same breed. In this way we can find images of horses watching frescoes with interested and attentive eyes, or other horses taking their place inside a painting, creating in this way an odd optical illusion.

The exhibition includes 40 pictures and 6 installations, through which the artist shows how it is possible, starting from 2 different kinds of art, to create a third, brand-new form of art.

If you want to visit a particular museum and exhibition, spend some days in a cheap hotel in Istanbul and visit the Istanbul Modern Museum.

Date: 4th February -26th April 2009

Location: Istanbul Modern, Istanbul, Turkey

Tenerife - The Name Of The Game

Filed under: Gay Friendly Hotels, Great Gay Destinations, Travel — Admin @ 11:15 am

By Roger Munns

  January and February is traditionally when millions of British people decide upon their annual holidays - some suggest that up to half of all holidays are booked in the first two months of the year.

In the past British people have been seen as viewing class as important, more than most other countries- and that’s true of holiday destinations as well as life in general.

Once an area has a reputation - that’s it. Often for generations.

An opinion poll has revealed that many British holidaymakers are ashamed to admit where they are going on holiday. - some popular destinations are deemed to be too low class by British society, including many popular areas of Spain.

In fact, holidaymakers often lie about going on an expensive, classy trip when they actually go somewhere less expensive and common. What’s strange about all of this is that most of these locations are actually not what they were like in the 1970’s when reputations were largely made or lost, and have over the last decade invested in new tourist infrastructure and facilities.

Topping the list of shameful holiday spots is Benidorm, a coastal town in the Alicante province of Spain, on the Costa Blanca.

Benidorm is lined with skyscrapers. It’s sometimes called the Manhattan of Spain. For this same reason, it’s also referred to as the 11th Belgian province.

Before tourism became a large industry in the town, it was a tiny coastal village. It began to cater to tourists, especially British tourists, in the 1960’s.

Today it contains four-star hotels, several family-oriented theme parks and three major beaches which were granted the highest award for quality by the European Union. Benidorm also hosts the Benidorm International Song Festival, a renowned songwriting contest. Julio Iglesias became famous because of this festival.

Second on the list of shameful destinations is Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands. Tourism is concentrated on the southern part of the island, as it features highly developed resort areas and a drier climate suitable for those taking traditional type holidays in Tenerife.

A moratoria act passed by the Canarian Parliament keeps resort standards high by forbidding any new construction unless the hotel is five star quality.

The Costa Adeje in Tenerife contains world class entertainment centres, nine golf courses and good shopping centres, as well as having some of the best Tenerife hotels.

Though tourism is mainly an industry of the southern part of the island, the north is catching up, especially in the town Puerto de la Cruz. Somehow this Tenerife town manages to be highly developed, yet retains much of its old, harbour town charm.

Other destinations that are looked down upon are party island Ibiza, holiday island Magaluf and Cyprus’ area of Ayia Napa.

These areas are shunned because of their associations with party goers and the clubbing scene. Though they may not have the high end features of Benidorm and Tenerife, they are still full of great places to visit.

Mediterranean views greet holidaymakers at every turn, and many of the finest clubs and restaurants of Spain and Cyprus are located in these destinations. Ayia Napa, in fact, has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, great for water skiing and scuba diving.

All of these destinations offer world class facilities, yet they are viewed in a negative light by British tourists who see them as somewhere you go when you want the cheapest holidays possible.

The top places to visit in the poll include Paris, New York, Portugal, Australia and Thailand.

For some reason, Benidorm and Tenerife, which originally catered to the British, don’t match up to these destinations in modern British eyes. But hot spots are cyclical, and some day soon these areas might be on the top of the British holiday destination charts.

Tenerife is doing well already in the last few years, and given time perhaps Benidorm might too.

Skiing Austria Just Got Easier

Filed under: Gay Friendly Hotels, Great Gay Destinations, Travel — Admin @ 6:56 pm

By Roger Munns

  Low-cost airlines, package tourism and massive discounts make ski vacations more affordable; now they’re even more convenient. Austrian Airlines recently launched a Skibus service that connects skiers directly to Innsbruck. This service is designed to offer seamless service from the airport to St. Anton, Ischgl and Soelden.

The Skibus offers a timely alternative to other forms of public transportation. For example: passengers leaving London at 6 a.m. will arrive at the resort of their choice shortly after 1 p.m. and may be on the slopes withn the hour.

Skiing in Tyrol

Tyrol is located in western Austria. The state itself is easily identified by its two parts: North Tyrol and East Tyrol. Along the northern border is Bavaria, with Vorarlberg to the west and Italy and Switzerland to the south. Salzburg Austria is directly to the east. Carinthia also shares a border with East Tyrol.

Innsbruck

Innsbruck is the capital of Tyrol and one of the most popular ski areas on Austria. The two primary sports in the area are skiing during the winter and hiking during the summer. Several ski resorts and glacial skiing make this one of the few areas in the world to offer year-round skiing. Innsbruck has hosted the Winter Olympic Games twice. The first was in 1964 and again in 1976. Only two other areas have had the privilege of hosting the Winter Olympic Games twice: St. Moritz, Switzerland and Lake Placid, New York.

Bidding has begun for the 2012 Winter Youth Olympics. Innsbruck recently became a finalist in the battle to host the first of many Winter Youth Olympic Games.

St. Anton

As one of the more populated areas in Tyrol, St. Anton has a busy nightlife and even busier ski slopes. The St. Anton area is well-known as a resort for ’serious skiers.’ Although it has a reputation for being a hard core ski resort, families and beginners are coming to enjoy all there is to St. Anton. Ski instruction is available for beginners or those wishing to simply improve their abilities.

Ischgl

What was once a farming village is now one of the largest ski areas in Austria. Situated near Vorarlberg, the village of Ischgl has changed its entire image in the last two decades. Travel to the village can be strenuous, and those travelling by car should keep in mind that the village is surrounded by very high, snow-covered mountains. Appropriate snow equipment is necessary to ensure a safe journey. Ischgl has three large ski lifts, intermediate ski runs, great hotels and a busy nightlife.

Soelden

Situated at the base of the Tiefenbach and Rettenbach glaciers, Soelden offers lots of off-slope ski action. Winter and summer skiing are available here due to the location of the glaciers and popularity of ’ski-in, ski-out’ convenience. Year-round skiing is becoming very popular among ski lovers around the world. Soelden doesn’t have the nightlife some of the other Austrian ski resorts may have, but for skiers looking for great year-round glacial skiing, it’s perfect.

Skiing in the Alps

The Alps have a long-running and well deserved reputation for being some of the best ski territory in the world. Beginners and experienced skiers alike can find the ideal ski terrain to fit their ski style. Ski resorts in the Alps often get the opportunity to work with skiers year-round, so they understand what skiers want and how to deliver it in the most convenient way possible.
