KunstWerke, one of the largest exhibition spaces which sprang to life at the beginning of the 1990s in Berlin’s Mitte district, is currently showing a subtle exhibition of relatively unknown artists. The most interesting is, without a doubt, Paul Pfeiffer who was given the largest space, into which he installed three miniature video projections: images of a basketball player, a slowed-down detail of a ball, and a loop of a person having some kind of attack. Elegant projectors play the videos—objects make up mere points of light in the gigantic room. A barred window in a lit bedroom accompanies them, again in miniature dimensions. As a contrast, a tent is projected on a larger screen. It looks both real and fake and also works as a model for kids. Guessing from the titles of the works, such as Fragment of a Crucifixion or Poltergeist, Pfeiffer knows what he wants. He was awarded the Whitney Museum Prize this year. The miniature cities and railroads by Mick O’Shea work as a suitable counterpart to Pfeiffer’s work. Less entertaining installations by Erik Steinbrecher and Lara Schnitager occupy the first floor of KunsWerke.

After long debate and the setting of criteria, we arrived at a list of names we consider significant for the local context, for the presentation of Czech art outside the country and especially for the future of art. Our criteria did not…

Nick Land war ein britischer Philosoph, den es nicht mehr gibt, ohne dass er gestorben ist. Sein beinahe neurotischer Eifer für das Herummäkeln an Narben der Realität, hat manch einen hoffnungsvollen Akademiker zu einer obskuren Weise des Schaffens verleitet, die den Leser mit Originalität belästigt. Texte, die er zurückgelassen hat, empören, langweilen und treiben noch immer zuverlässig die Wissenschaftler dazu, sie als „bloße“ Literatur einzustufen und damit zu kastrieren.
