Demonstrations against the already oldish black and blue coalition in Austria have long abated. The squares in Vienna and other cities are no longer filled with hundreds of thousands of protestors. All that’s left as a testament to the once powerful resistance movement are a few websites on the Internet. Gradually the majority of the population has become reconciled to the fact that government hallways are currently infested with the spirit of extreme rightwing populism.
Nevertheless, from time to time, Austria’s political tranquility is disturbed by a reminder that not everybody has obediently joined the ranks of the silent majority. The association for contemporary art from Graz is until mid-May presenting several positions from the unflagging resistance movement, protesting “the existence of this government … national socialism, racism and globalization.” Entitled Andauernder Widerstand gegen Machverhältnisse (Continuing Resistance Against Power Relations), the exhibition expresses the discontent of several artists who have for some time now been involved in the fight against power. Alexander Brener and Barbara Schurz are the most recognized and radical critics of the Austrian and international neo-liberal political establishment. Bady Minck won second prize at the Austrian Web Resistance Awards in 2000 with her work Elektrofrühstück. The list of artists includes Helmut Kandl, Johanna Kandl, Martin Krenn, Julius Deutschbauer, and Gerhard Spring.

Why political intellectuals, do you incline towards the proletariat? In commiseration for what? I realize that a proletarian would hate you, you have no hatred because you are bourgeois, privileged, smooth-skinned types, but also because you dare not say that the only important thing there is to say, that one can enjoy swallowing the shit of capital, its materials, its metal bars, its polystyrene…

Le Dernier Cri and the black penis of Marseille

We’re constantly hearing that someone would like to do some joint project, organize something together, some event, but… damn, how to put it... we really like what you’re doing but it might piss someone off back home. Sure, it’s true that every now and then someone gets kicked out of this institution or that institute for organizing something with Divus, but weren’t they actually terribly self…

	Nick Land – An Experiment in Inhumanism
	Nick Land was a British philosopher but is no longer, though he is not dead. The almost neurotic fervor with which he scratched at the scars of reality has seduced more than a few promising academics onto the path of art that offends in its originality. The texts that he has left behind are reliably revolting and boring, and impel us to castrate their categorization as “mere” literature.

Pověsti o těžkých časech na trhu s uměním jsou opět velmi přehnané...

Letošní 50. ročník Art Basel přilákal celkem 93 000 návštěvníků a sběratelů z 80 zemí světa. 290 prémiových galerií představilo umělecká díla od počátku 20. století až po současnost. Hlavní sektor přehlídky, tradičně v prvním patře výstavního prostoru, představil 232 předních galerií z celého světa nabízející umění nejvyšší kvality. Veletrh ukázal vzestupný trend prodeje prostřednictvím galerií jak soukromým sbírkám, tak i institucím. Kromě hlavního veletrhu stály za návštěvu i ty přidružené: Volta, Liste a Photo Basel, k tomu doprovodné programy a výstavy v místních institucích, které kvalitou daleko přesahují hranice města tj. Kunsthalle Basel, Kunstmuseum, Tinguely muzeum nebo Fondation Beyeler.
