screenplay John McLaughlin | 01.01.2008
SCREENPLAY
Chelsea. Front desk on a Saturday. White walls washed over in so much light that it looks like a cheesy scene from those movies where George Burns played God. No art is visible, but you can see that there are vast rooms opened onto from all sides. A Sunday painter lady steps to the desk and reverently thumbs a copy of the catalogue. “I just love his use of color!” she says to an icy young woman…
The History of Czech Art at a Glance II. Art after 1989 Tomáš Pospiszyl | 01.01.2008
THE HISTORY OF CZECH ART AT A GLANCE II. ART AFTER 1989
This is the long-awaited continuation of the history of Czech modern and contemporary art from Umělec issue 3/2007. In the last section we exposed the lives of artists who came under pressure from the Communist Party’s Central Committee. We found them in their warm, centrally-heated art studios. Now we will examine how the student revolt of 1989, an event that changed the lives of millions of…
Stains on Hands. First Version. Gabriel Acevedo Velarde | 01.01.2008
STAINS ON HANDS. FIRST VERSION.
I’m developing a project for a moment called “Berlin.” I present a part of it here—something that I wrote a couple of weeks ago, a draft for a video. I’m interested in how ones appreciation of experience constantly shifts. Sometimes it seems as though when recalling some mundane event, one doesn’t encounter the main subject, but only some branch, and to that extent, experience seems like more of…

KONSTANTIN GORETSKY
Belarusian artist Konstantin Goretsky spent three months in Prague as a residence program participant. Delighted with everything around him, he not only devoted himself to his own work, but tried also to learn as much as possible about contemporary Czech art. He conscientiously visited all the exhibitions recommended by program curator Alena Boika, and viewed all the biggest museums and galleries…

GAST ART BEITER
The work is based on a detailed calculation of how much money has been spent on my career between the end of 1990, when I started traveling for shows, conferences and residencies, and February 2000 when I participated with this work in the show “Worthless (Invaluable)” in the Moderna Galerja, Ljubljana by an invitation from Carlos Basualdo, the curator of the show. The calculation includes all…
Berlin Taipei Round Trip Michael LaFond | world | 01.01.2008
BERLIN TAIPEI ROUND TRIP
EXPERIMENCITY MEETS TREASURE HILL Western creative cities such as Berlin, Germany are shrinking while eastern metropolises like Taipei, Taiwan have the mixed-blessing of a still growing creative/destructive capitalism. Like many old world cities Berlin boasts a seemingly endless supply of affordable vacant land and buildings, even in the inner-city, which continues to draw masses of young…
New Moscow Architecture or Dreams and Realities of New Manilovs Alena Boika | world | 01.01.2008
NEW MOSCOW ARCHITECTURE OR DREAMS AND REALITIES OF NEW MANILOVS
He thought of the amenities of a life of friendship, and of how nice it would be to live with a friend on, say, a riverbank somewhere. Then a bridge started to be built across the river in his mind, and then an enormous mansion with a balcony so high that it could even afford a view of Moscow. And on that balcony he would drink afternoon tea with company in the open air, and have discussions on…
Joe Coleman Nils Michaelis | profile | 01.01.2008
JOE COLEMAN
Joe Coleman is not your typical “high brow” artist. His roots lie in the American punk music and cartoon scenes of the 1970s. The best part is that over the last fifteen years established collectors and well known galleries in New York and Paris have shown great interest in his work; even The New York Times has covered him in considerable detail. Coleman’s last peak was reached in the summer…
Wölfli"s Universe Hana Tanimura | review | 01.01.2008
WÖLFLI"S UNIVERSE
There is a fine line between insanity and genius, though it sometimes takes something extraordinary to remind us of it. The works of Adolf Wölfli (1864-1930), a Swiss artist who created thousands of drawings while incarcerated in a mental institution, present a window into the mind of a man who straddled that line. Formally, Wölfli was a schizophrenic with pedophilic tendencies. Informally, he…
A Fairy Tale about Small Girls, a Blue Jacket and Some Random Animals Alena Boika | landscape | 01.01.2008
A FAIRY TALE ABOUT SMALL GIRLS, A BLUE JACKET AND SOME RANDOM ANIMALS
“There’s nothing like eating hay when you’re faint,” the King remarked to her, as he munched away. “I should think throwing cold water over you would be better,” Alice suggested: “or some sal-volatile.” “I didn’t say there was nothing better,” the King replied. “I said there was nothing like it.” Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass I’d never met either of them. Then, one day, I came…
