Vitgenšteins un fotogrāfija  
Par godu Vitgenšteina 60. nāves gadadienai (kas bija 29. aprīlī) tiks atklāta foto izstāde. Žēl, ka netieku, jo šķiet interesanti: Wittgenstein was drawn to the descriptive nature of photography, as the other works in the exhibition show. Excerpts from his photo albums reveal a more relaxed and playful side to a man who is often portrayed as a tormented soul. In one photo, Wittgenstein has convinced his friend Gilbert Pattisson to pose in the style of an American gangster movie, a genre of which he was a huge fan, telling him, in the language of these films: “go and case the joint!” (iz šejienes )
