SOLO FOR…

Saturday, February 4, 2012

In the exhibition Solo for … Dan and Lia Perjovschi the ifa gallery Berlin presents two artistic positions that combine image and text in very different ways, respectively commenting upon current affairs from their own approaches.

MONO.POSITION #04: DIARIES

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

Dear Friends,

BOOK WORKS

Friday, January 13, 2012

I’ve received seven invitations now by the artist Martin Zet to donate one of my zero copies of Thilo Sarrazin’s controversial bestseller, conveying some shady views on Muslim integration in Germany.

NAN GOLDIN: SCOPOPHILIA

Friday, December 9, 2011

Nan Goldin’s incredibly personal and emotionally potent photographs are major signposts in the recent history of photography, and have had an indelible influence on subsequent generations of photographers.

ARCHITECTURE OF DENSITY

Friday, November 25, 2011
