Season of the Faltgarage

Tuesday, November 8, 2011

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.
Find more Faltgaragen here.

ALMECH

Thursday, October 27, 2011

Polish artist Pawe? 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

Monday, August 29, 2011

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

Tuesday, June 14, 2011

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 [...]

Friday, April 15, 2011

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:

sculpture now

Wednesday, November 17, 2010

Set in the urban wasteland that was formerly the ‘Mauerstreifen’, Skulpturenpark Mitte was from the very start a statement rather then a ready form. To find a position in a structural context and develop sculptures in process has been an ongoing project, and this transition taking place for the last 4 years that has now [...]
