作品表現很侵略性

如果我們這回沒有去拜訪朋友，也可能不會參訪Schloss Moyland, 這座位於距離荷蘭邊境僅有１小時車程的德國北萊茵城堡，原因很簡單，這不是觀光客搭乘公共交通系統就可以抵達。

Schloss Moyland 始1307年建，歲月摧殘到20世紀初現代殘破，繼承的後代無力修復；直到1990-1997年由基金會修復改建為Joseph Beuys centre；館藏20世紀德國藝術家 Joseph Beuys 作品。

對於Beuys的作品在英國大學求學時，老師曾經在課堂中提出他的作品討論，當時我攝取現代藝術萌懂時期，Beuys的驚世作品真的是沒有太多的興趣，更不了解這位影響現代藝術很深遠的藝術家。有幸這回朋友帶我們造訪，重新讓我了解Beuys的創作概念起源。

除了城堡，戶外的綠地也裝置許多當代藝術家的作品，城堡的側翼也有定期的當代藝術展覽，這回碰巧“The Second Skin"的展覽，20位藝術家的作品，使用不同媒材表現，透過平面與立體作品隱喻人類與自然環境關係以及角色；引人深思的環境議題。

Schloss Moyland was a historic castle, until 1990-1997 was renovated by the Foundation Schloss Moyland as the collections of Joseph Beuys Centre. 

Actually, I didn't know Beuys' conceptual art, even though I had a contemporary art seminar at my undergraduate's degree studies. Fortunately, I didn't have to write an essay about Bueys' works; otherwise I would fail my studies. On the other hand, it was so great I could learn more about Beuys' concepts from this trip.

Moreover, there was always a regular exhibition at the wing of the Castle; "the Second Skin" was on, when we visited, it was very impressive exhibiting through photography, sculpture and installation about relationships between the human and the natural environments. 

To be honestly, my hub and I wouldn't be the Museum as it was a route  by "cars", only; thanks to my friend take us there.
