MEDEA

Medea is a project directed by Dimitris Papaioannou with the team of Mesa Project. As Die Walküre by Wagner, their work lasts six hours, from 17.30 till 23.30. The exciting point of this project is that, as an audience, one may come and go whenever s/he wants, create her/his own composition by choosing when and [...]

Ready for Spring

We know most of us don’t own or rent a piece of land, don’t have gardens or spacious balconies and sometimes neither huge, tall windows (yes, we live in a big city), nevertheless let us tell you that you can still  get your hands dirty!
Terrariums and aeriums have never been as fashionable as they became recently. [...]

Season of the Faltgarage

It’s that time of the year, and all the bikers have to kiss their love goodbye for hibernation. It’s heartbreak, but it’s the season. And you can tell German Gemütlichkeit doesn’t stop at the front door.

ALMECH

Polish artist Paweł Althamer is one of the most uncompromising and consistent artists working today and we dedicated him our mono.kultur issue #17.
For his Deutsche Guggenheim commission he has created an exhibition-in-progress that confronts visitors with a site of active production rather than passive reflection:
Almech is born out of a physical and psychic exchange between the [...]

NANO ORIGAMI

What is there to say about someone who will spend 10 hours on creating a 9mm flower out of paper? Someone like Anja Markiewicz, who has obviously taken the virtues of the Japanese Origami very close to her heart. It’s not for nothing her Flickr Page is called ‘Faltsucht’ – or ‘Folding Addiction’, where she [...]

Bollard Spotting

Just came across a heavily street-wise book on the typology of bollards, posts and such: those meaningful obstacles which ensure flatland is used one way, not another. Author Helmut Höge presents his remarkable collection and observations which offer a striking new angle to the politics of space. A must read for retired leapfrog enthusiasts and [...]

READING ROOM

We can think of no better place to read mono.kultur issue #24 with Cyprien Gaillard’s interview than on top of the “beeramid”, Cyprien’s large-scale sculpture at KW in Berlin, built out of 72,000 bottles of Efes beer. Approximate duration to read Cyprien’s interview: 3 Efes beer!
The ‘reading room’ is open until March 22, 2011:
