MONO.KLUB #35: TARYN SIMON

Dear Friends,
with American photographer Taryn Simon just having opened her new and breathtaking exhibition A Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters at the venerable Neue Nationalgalerie, we really could not miss the opportunity to invite our cover star of issue #15 to share the many ideas and issues at heart of her latest series.

KNOW-IT-ALL

Lost for answers? Know it all with the Know-it-all pencil set.

BEATS IN SPACE

This Sunday, Tim Sweeney’s legendary and  highly influential radio show Beats in Space celebrates its 12th anniversary with a blow-out celebration in Brooklyn. Featuring heavy-hitters like Juan Maclean, Metro Area, Kim Ann Foxman, and our favorites Blondes, the BIS party sounds like THE perfect way to spend an early fall afternoon. Kind of like my [...]

Impossibly good: already on show at the Tate Modern (and coming to the MoMA New York next year) Taryn Simon’s new series A Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters will open at the Neue Nationalgalerie tomorrow night.
We couldn’t put it any more concise than Taryn’s own description: A Living Man Declared Dead and Other [...]

KUNST ALS KLANG

Our friends at Jutojo will be participating at the first night of the Kunst als Klang festival – curated by Pantha du Prince and featuring the venerable Faust and Moritz von Oswald, among many others –, with an audiovisual treat in collaboration with Phillip Sollmann – aka Efdemin – that looks more than promising: a [...]

MONDAY MUSIC: TROPHY WIFE

It’s always a good idea to start off the week with some new music, so we’ll do our best to make this a regular suggestion – starting off with the incredible new video Wolf by Trophy Wife. It’ll take a minute or so to figure out what is wrong with this, but of course it’s [...]

JOHN’S PHONE

I met up with my friend H. last night, who is the only person I know that doesn’t own a mobile phone. However, now he has found an option that he is seriously considering – I’m not quite sure how serious he is about the whole thing.
