WO STEHST DU, KOLLEGE?
Friday, December 3, 2010
On the occasion of the first 20 years of the Berlin-based magazine Texte zur Kunst a symposium organized by Isabelle Graw and André Rottmann asks the question of art criticism’s potential as social criticism. When the magazine was founded in Cologne in 1990 the methods of ‘Social Art History’ promised to present contemporary art in [...]
IMPENDING DOOM
Tuesday, November 30, 2010
After the recent fad of apocalyptic films, television and video games such as The Road, Fallout New Vegas, the so-so Book of Eli, and the excellent new AMC series The Walking Dead, had all had effects on my psychological wellbeing and possibly making me believe that the end of the world is imminent. As always [...]
L’ÉCOLE DE STÉPHANIE
Monday, April 19, 2010
Under the strict authority of director Stéphanie Moisdon questions and thoughts around artistic practice and visual culture will be addressed during three days of school at KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin. L’école de Stéphanie is a place of projection, of creation and of language aiming for the exchange and mediation of knowledge, skills [...]
100 Years of Technical Existence
Saturday, February 13, 2010
Max Bense would have turned 100 years earlier this week. Even if his reconstructive post-war modernism does not appeal to today’s postmodern mainstream, and there is not a single hit on wired.com, Max Bense’s work is still worth a glimpse. That’s why the Center for Arts and Media Karlsruhe (ZKM) has put up an exhibition [...]
NONE THE WISER
Friday, December 25, 2009
I’ve come to really appreciate Christmas, but mostly for the reason that it affords the luxury of time: time to sleep in, time to talk to people you have lost sight of for a while, time to read that issue of mono.kultur you never got around to finishing, time to think, time to kill time. [...]
WORLD OF GIVING
Saturday, November 28, 2009
This is ostensibly the season of giving, so it is worth mentioning Jeffrey Inaba’s new book World of Giving, dedicated to exploring this cornerstone of human sociality. An architect and professor, Inaba researched, edited, and wrote the book with C-Lab, an ‘experimental research unit’ he directs, as an extension of their current Donor Hall [...]

and now. Female artists from the GDR
The exhibition and now traces the work of a selected group of female artists from the GDR – among which some have been discussed only sparsely in the overall German art historical field.
The exhibition shows work from the 1980s made under ’socialistic conditions of production’ and as well [...]
