MONO.KLUB #28: CYPRIEN GAILLARD

And, well yes, it’s anniversary season now and we have one event chasing the next, so with this one, we just really couldn’t hold our breath any longer: as launch party for our current issue with Cyprien Gaillard, we have organized a very special screening in a very special location, just for you. Cyprien will [...]

DEMOLITION PANORAMA

Now just in time with our current issue, and in case you happen to be in Frankfurt during the next months, there will be a welcome chance to see new work by our cover star Cyprien Gaillard at his solo exhibition, opening this Friday at the venerable Museum für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt.

BERLIN PUBLISHING WEEKEND #02: UNTER DEM MOTTO

So, of course next to Miss Read at Kunstwerke, our friends at Motto bookstore and Chert gallery will host the second round of Unter dem Motto book fair, with a focus on slightly more edgy and alternative magazines and art publications. Or, in their own words: ‘More than 70 publishers from about 17 countries will [...]

TEMPORARY ENDING

The Temporäre Kunsthalle, an interim arts space in the heart of Berlin, is drawing to a close tomorrow, with a party hosted by Raster-Noton, the label co-founded by Carsten Nicolai – who happens to be the last artist to work with the exterior façade of the Kunsthalle.

Through ‘It’s Nice That‘ I got to know Michael Crowe’s stories. Here you have one.

Cornerstones of the Provoke era in Japanese photography, Takuma Nakahira’s grainy, off-kilter, unfocused, and high-contrast images of Japanese street life really did formulate a new visual vernacular for 70s image-makers. Though he [...]

Visions

In the box seats J Edgar Hoover plucks a magazine page off his shoulder, where the thing has lighted and stuck. At first he’s annoyed that the object has come into contact with his body. Then his eyes fall upon the page. It is a color reproduction of a painting crowded with medieval figures who [...]

NOT READY FOR THE PLUNGE?

One of the best things about working in the arts in New York right now is the preponderance of small-scale, independent projects, schools, and initiatives. Places like The Bruce High Quality Foundation University and the Public School, NYC are great outlets for people seeking engaging dialogue about the arts but who are not ready to [...]

INNEN STADT AUSSEN

Personally, I don’t enjoy going to exhibitions or museums all that much – somehow, fine art rarely touches or inspires me the way good music, a good film or book will do (or a good interview, for that matter…). And yet, every year there will be one piece or series that has the same effect [...]
