The Art of War: Kaleidoscope Alena Boika | war | 01.01.2009
THE ART OF WAR: KALEIDOSCOPE
Art can be introduced through different genres and mediums. In exploration of what is understood under such specific terminology as “the art of war,” here are some modest varieties. FILM: THE GOOD AND THE BAD In Moscow you can purchase DVDs about the Chechnya conflict along almost every street. They are an art form in their own right, utilizing the universal instruments of creation—elegantly…
Faith, Hope & Charity Out of their labours and into our lives in Eisenhuettenstadt Benjamin Tallis | photo essay | 01.01.2009
FAITH, HOPE & CHARITY OUT OF THEIR LABOURS AND INTO OUR LIVES IN EISENHUETTENSTADT
Dear Charity,* We came to Eisenhuttenstadt by way of Dresden, Goerlitz and the small towns that straddle the landstrasse of the Western East. But really we came by way of you. From the time you first told me about Eisenhuttenstadt I was keen to see it and helping Julia move her sister to Dresden provided the perfect excuse to take a DDRoad-trip. Now I can better respond to your thrown…
Soccer for Peace in Kosovo Christoph Witoszynskyj, Clemens Forschi | kosovo | 01.01.2009
SOCCER FOR PEACE IN KOSOVO
In the documentary, “Peace Kicking Mission”, five Austrian journalists attempt to diffuse the remnant antagonisms of the bloody Kosovo conflict on a slightly more civil stage: the soccer field. The film captures this unusual peace mission in the crisis-shaken region through evocative images of Albanians and Serbs playing with and against one another, forming the fledgling foundations of…
DO DEUTSCHE BANK AND GUGGENHEIM SUPPORT THE RUSSIAN NEW RIGHT? David Riff | reaction | 01.01.2009
DO DEUTSCHE BANK AND GUGGENHEIM SUPPORT THE RUSSIAN NEW RIGHT?
Something changed. Several months after the early 2008 discussion on Yahoo’s Grundrisse group—an event transpired that continues to reverberate throughout the art world. Whereas the 2007 Kandinsky Award was given to “Grundrisse” participant and activist Osmolovsky, this past year it was awarded to a very different sort of artist: Alexei Belyaev-Gintovt. Grundrisse contributor David Riff…
Letters from the "Post" Elizabeth Grady | correspondence | 01.01.2009
LETTERS FROM THE "POST"
The current moment is rife with “posts”: Post-Cold War, post-Communist, post 9-11, post-modern, post-colonial, post-national… Blogs embody decentralized communities of “post-ers” who together determine everything from what’s hip to the next revolution, offering a faux-reality of democratic access and collectivist practice. Even waste is “post-consumer content” in green-marketed products,…

I Z R A H E L L
I first wanted to post the sign, IZRAHELL, at the Eastern Alliance exhibit in Berlin in 2004. Ultimately I wrote KILL THEM ALL on the tall building and it was removed by the gallery after only one day following pressure from US companies. For a long time I had the feeling that I had no right to write such a thing. I was uncertain and I was a little scared. This feeling vanished, however, when…

ADINA BAR-ON ARTIST FROM ISRAEL
Letter: January 6, 2009 To my friends, I can hear you. I have been laying beside Daniel, hour after hour and day after day, watching the sights and listening closely to the endless horror of war. I am devastated. I seem to think, ironically, that if I watch constantly than we, Danny and I, shall hold the war back (even if only slightly). I want to do more. You know my work, somehow always…
Our Neighborhood Museum Franklin Moreno | museology | 01.01.2009
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD MUSEUM
When a museum, especially a fine arts museum, purports to contribute to the cultural values and identity of a society, the works of art become associated with social processes. Indeed, the social relations are what generates value and construct identities. Any single artwork can be approached in terms of either formal qualities or the social climate that compelled the artist to create the work.…
Jacques Rancière – The Two ‘Resistances’ of Art Karin Rolle | review | 01.01.2009
JACQUES RANCIÈRE – THE TWO ‘RESISTANCES’ OF ART
The image of the free and rebellious artist who criticizes and reshapes society has lost much of its credibility. Yet the French philosopher Jacques Rancière still believes art to have political significance; he discusses the potential for resistance in contemporary art, presenting a theory in which the resistance of art is a relationship of tension between two different resistances. Scant,…
Georges Didi – Huberman: Against the Unrepresentable Karin Rolle | review | 01.01.2009
GEORGES DIDI – HUBERMAN: AGAINST THE UNREPRESENTABLE
The precarious relationship between art and history is a topic explored by French philosopher and art historian Georges Didi-Huberman. In his Bilder Trotz Allem (Pictures in Spite of Everything), he sets forth an argument against the prohibition of displaying the radical inhumanity of the Shoah through visual media; against the formulation of the “unrepresentable” and against the scepticism of…

Slavka Kneppo:
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.
