STATE OF PALESTINE

Sunday, May 20, 2012

Governmental documents serve the explicit correlation of identity and affiliation. Palestinian artist Khaled Jarrar uses these attributes as samples for alternative models of identity and anticipates the existence of a state, which until now is mere utopia. He created a passport stamp for the State of Palestine, challenging the Israeli border regime, which he stamps [...]

HANNA LIDEN

Friday, May 18, 2012

In Hanna Liden’s Ghost Town, a wonderful new series of  photographs now on view at Maccarone, everything is covered with some kind of downtown detritus. Faces are masked in Have A Nice Day plastic bags, bodies clothed Canal Street Fuck You t-shirts, flowers painted Terrence Koh Black, classical busts etched with graffiti. Even the images [...]

… AND EUROPE WILL BE STUNNED!

Wednesday, May 9, 2012

NEW ILLUSTRATION

Thursday, May 3, 2012

This autumn will see the opening of a new and ambitious school called AID Berlin for illustration and image-making which in fact has been pretty much ignored by Berlin design schools as a field of study in its own right.

OF MICE AND MEN

Thursday, May 3, 2012

Last night our cover star Ryan McGinley’s latest exhibition opened in New York, with entirely new work that seems to be leading away even further from his road trip pieces that he became famous for, into a more abstract and graphic, if still equally colourful realm entirely his own.

BERLIN GALLERY WEEKEND 01: MARK BORTHWICK

Saturday, April 28, 2012

Berlin is in art fever this weekend, with Thursday’s opening of the new and, how to put it, brave? Berlin biennial and three days of Gallery Weekend. So far and two days in, what I enjoyed most, weirdly, is Mark Borthwick’s little installation at the back of the new Comme des Garçons store, called Fountains [...]

DATA.ANATOMY

Saturday, April 21, 2012

Just after Ryoji Ikeda’s exhibition at Hamburger Bahnhof ended, he is back in Berlin with an even larger installation at the former power station Muma (erm, didn’t it use to be Trafo?) called data.anatomy (civic) – the name sort of speaks for itself, since the video and sound installation basically comprises thousands of design and [...]

Peter Land. Springtime

Tuesday, April 17, 2012

Peter Land’s (born 1966) solo exhibition in the Seitenlichtsaal of the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf owes its title to the Danish artist’s eponymous installation: Springtime (2010) is a large pile of bricks from which an arm protrudes. Whether it concerns the limb of a person who has been buried alive and is crying for help, or rather, as the title [...]
