The art of skiing...? 
The Unbearable Whiteness of Skiing
by Mathilde Heyns
"Milan Kundera's novel, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, evolves around the paradox of the lightness and the heaviness. One tends to choose the lightness in life over the heaviness, yet "the heavier the burden, the closer our lives come to the earth, the more real and truthful they become. Conversely, the absolute absence of a burden causes man to be lighter than air, to soar into the heights, take leave of the earth and his earthly being, and become only half real, his movements as free as they are insignificant." (Milan Kundera, p.5) The absolute absence of a burden, however, causes man to be lighter than air, fly up and hover above the earth and earthly existence, becoming only half real, leaving his movements to be free as well as pointless. The dazzling world of glamour, sports and pop music, the supposed domain of lightness, is the central theme in the group show "The Unbearable Whiteness of Skiing (existentialism now)," curated by artist Twan Janssen."

Doesn't that just describe spot-on the sensation one gets after three beers, two jagertees and ? Williams on the last run down from the Nederhutte...

Welcome Pistebasher, I think you are 3 days late with your April Fool, and Mathilde Heyns is an anagram, but I just haven't worked it out yet. 
Amazing.

Ahhhh . . . doesn't that take me back to college . . . “the Language of Art and Criticism”, fond memories.
Bullsh*t 101 – what makes it worse is that people pay to listen to or read it and pretend (pretence? Pretentious?) understand it.
Worst of all it reads like the BASI manual!

People get paid to write that? Where oh where did I go wrong?
PS my new 1516 page "Zen and the art of ski tuning" will hit the stores soon. Snowheads can pre-order author signed copies at a teeny weeny premium

I've cracked the anagram at last, though not sure the Snowheads sensor will let it pass. Mathilde Heyns is an anagram of Handle My Shite. Seems appropriate.

Afraid so Elizabeth B: on the loo, in the bath, cooking supper, eating supper......until at last - Eureka! I had it. Whoopee! Mad jumping around the room......
Not true, of course
Put Mathilde Heyns into your favourite anagram finder and up it comes in microseconds. Easy

Shouldn't that say "ski turning"? 1,516 pages on that subject might be more useful....but I'll wait for a bargain copy to appear on eBay...
