Sanity is an Australian chain of music and entertainment stores and is the country's second largest retailer of recorded audio and video discs. It is owned by Ray Itaoui, as of March 2015, Sanity comprises 155 outlets in every state and territory; the brand specialises in the sale of CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays and related merchandise and accessories, sold from its network of stores and website. The Sanity brand was owned and conceived by Brazin Limited from 1992, before being folded into BB Retail Capital in 2006 became a company in its own right after it was divested to Itaoui in 2009. In 1980, 20-year-old Brett Blundy and a business partner he met from school bought two rundown record stores called Disco Duck, they closed one, combined the stock into the Pakenham store and reopened as Jetts, selling vinyl records and cassettes. The lease for this store was for a three-year period. Blundy and his partner found another unloved record store a year this time within a bigger shopping district at Parkmore Shopping Centre, supported by a larger surrounding population.

Before they purchased it, the Parkmore store was turning over $2,000 a week, but six months as a Jetts outlet, it had increased to $15,000, was subsidising the failing Pakenham store, closed once the lease had expired. The Parkmore outlet lasted until 2010 under the Jetts and Sanity branding. In 1986, Blundy and his business partner went their separate ways with Blundy selling his 60% stake in the eight-store Jetts chain to his former partner for $600,000; this left Blundy to pursue an idea he had three months before the Jetts sell-off, after he noticed one of his "fashionable" female store managers kept wearing a broken bra, held together with a safety pin. Knowing that most lingerie at that time were beige in colour with unflattering cuts, he wanted to sell underwear in various cuts and colours, alongside G-strings that were unheard of for casual wear. Three months he took out his first franchise in The Bra Shop chain at Chirnside Park Shopping Centre selling brand name product, but sourcing different lines independently of the franchise.

Bryan Luca, the franchisor of The Bra Shop, entered into an agreement with Blundy to buy his three Victorian stores in exchange for Luca's four underperforming Bras'N' Things outlets in New South Wales and a guarantee to not trade in Victoria. Brazin Limited commenced operation after Blundy expanded Bras'N' Things into South Australia and Queensland. In 1990, Brazin Limited bought back the failed Jetts chain from the liquidators at a discount and began to progressively rebrand them as Delta music stores. In that year, with Bras'N' Things expanded to 60 stores around the country, Bryan Luca started to progressively sell his remaining Victorian Bra Shop outlets to Blundy in groups of six at a time with all being sold and renamed to Bras'N' ThingsThe Sanity concept and brand was established and introduced by Brazin in 1992 with its first store at Doncaster Shoppingtown; this occurred by chance thanks to Blundy's working knowledge of Doncaster Shoppingtown, as - while running his five-store company in the late 1980s - he worked as a casual shop assistant in its Just Jeans store to learn more about its culture and internal processes.

When he found out the centre's only record shop closed without notice he brazenly talked his way into that lease with the centre manager though it was earmarked for another music retailer. In that year, Blundy's company started the designer and distributor of women's surfwear brand, Aztec Rose. In 1997, the company acquired 14 CC Records outlets in Victoria, folding them into the Sanity/Delta network. Brazin Limited listed publicly with the ASX in December of that year with an IPO at $1.50 a share. Blundy retained a 62% stake in the company. In June 1998, it acquired 27 outlets from the Brashs music chain on its demise via its administrators, KPMG, the two remaining stores from Blockbuster Music in Pitt Street and Chapel Street, Melbourne - relaunching all of them as Sanity music stores on an ongoing basis. After these acquisitions and Delta had 148 outlets combined with Brazin publicly stating their aim was for 250 nationwide; the share price was now up to $2.29. In September 1998, Brazin introduced IN2 Music stores by converting three Delta outlets in North Queensland and outer Melbourne.

Like Delta, IN2 Music targeted a wider demographic than Sanity's focus on the youth 16-26 age group, giving Brazin more scope after the collapse of adult-orientated chain, Brashs. IN2 Music expanded the next year after the company purchased a further 23 CC Records stores in South Australia and Queensland, re-branded more Delta outlets. In May 1999, the company created Viva Lingerie, targeting a different demographic to Bras'N' Things - the former, focused on young, price-conscience women. In that year, Brazin acquired another 9 lingerie retail stores from Triumph International Pty Ltd. In March 2000, Sanity's first foray into a digital music download service caused consternation within the industry when they signed a five-year deal with Festival Mushroom Records for a three-year online exclusivity window on all tracks downloaded from the label at Sanity's website. Rival retailers or other online services were meant to be blocked from Festival Mushroom's catalogue for that period unless Sanity chose to strike separate deals with their rivals to let them in.

Chaos.com and Leading Edge Music both made public threats to boycott Festival Mushroom's content, but HMV Australia (w

The Kunsthalle Messmer is a museum in Riegel am Kaiserstuhl in the rooms of the former Riegeler Brauerei. Art of the 20th and 21st centuries is shown in temporary exhibitions on around 900 m² of exhibition space; the museum includes an 850 m² sculpture garden with plastics by contemporary artists Gerald Baschek, Hellmut Bruch, Gerhard Frömel, Friedrich Geiler, Bernhard Licini, Rüdiger Seidt, Michel Jouët and Michael Schwarze. In 2005, the former entrepreneur and art collector Jürgen A. Messmer founded the messmer foundation as a dedication to his daughter Petra, who died of cancer in 2003; the foundation is the institution behind the museum, which opened in June 2009. Every year, up to three exhibitions of contemporary art are presented. Exhibits from its own collection as well as loans from international private and museum collections are on display. In 1978 Messmer succeeded in acquiring large parts of the estate of the Swiss artist André Evard. Throughout his life he painted figuratively and abstractly and was regarded as a pioneering painter of Swiss Modernism.

Through the artist, the entrepreneur found concrete-constructive art, which today forms the focus of his collection. The first exhibition of the kunsthalle messmer showed only his works. In addition, the International André Evard Art Award, founded by Messmer, was named to honor the artist. In addition to the estate of André Evard, the Messmer art collection includes works by Max Bill, Georges Braque, Salvador Dalí, Otto Dix, Günter Fruhtrunk, François Morellet, A. R. Penck, Pablo Picasso, Gerd Grimm, Sonia Delaunay, Joan Miró and Victor Vasarely. Including these works, the museum has presented the following exhibitions, among others: 2009: Hommage an André Evard 2009: Victor Vasarely + 50 Jahre konstruktive Kunst in Paris 2010: Gruppenausstellung der Nominierten zum 2.
