NERVE RAG

Monday, September 23, 2013

Though I’m sure many have heard of  (and read from) it, this post goes to Merve Verlag,  mono.kultur’s neighbor during the MISS READ Berlin Art Book Fair.  The quintessential philosopher’s publication since 1970, it has introduced to the intellectually voracious such venerable minds as Louis Althusser and Gilles Deleuze.  In contrast to the stagnancy that usually pervades academia, [...]

ENOISMS #01: OBLIQUE STRATEGIES

Tuesday, August 27, 2013

In case you were wondering where the title or the admittedly rather obscure subtitles throughout our new issue with Brian Eno come from, they were all taken from the wonderful project Oblique Strategies by Eno and the artist Peter Schmidt, conceived in 1974 as a simple deck of cards offering simple advice in case of [...]

William Forsythe, whose work we’ve mentioned before, is now featuring the installation White Bouncy Castle at the Berliner Festspiele / Foreign Affairs.

Saturday, June 15, 2013

It’s one of those random bits of news that you stumble upon every now and then get stuck with, like, ‘While there is no precise count, some experts believe New York is home to as many as 800 languages.’ Hold on, 800? Or have you ever heard of Vlashki, Garifuna, Mamuju? Neither have I, but [...]

Thursday, April 4, 2013

WHAT ALI WORE

Thursday, March 28, 2013

This is, of course, what Berlin dreams are made of: Australian photographer Zoe Pawton, based in Berlin and also working in a café in hipster district Neukölln, presumably to make ends meet, noticed Ali passing by every morning, looking impeccably stylish at 83 (and being a father of 18 kids), got friendly with him, asked [...]
