	LAUGHLINES FROM THE SHOAHSHOWBUSINESS. JOSHUA COHEN’S WITZ
	The story of the last Jew on Earth. A book that does not use the word Jew even once. A publication whose translation threatens to unleash a pogrom. The story of an over-hyped religion and a hypochondriac father. A story that is humor, witz and joke. An eschatological novel-golem about incomplete and interrupted survival.

	THE ARCHITECTURE OF METROPOLIS
	Fritz Lang’s oceanic journey in the autumn of 1924 culminates in the same way as for many immigrants before him: with a view of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline – in other words, the future. Starting from this point in space and time, Jan Wollner goes in search of the origins of the architectural aesthetics of Lang’s most famous film, Metropolis.

	DON’T TELL US WHO WE ARE. DELAINE LE BAS' INSTALLATION WITCH HUNT
	Somewhere between the demonization and romantization of Romany culture, Delaine Le Bas seeks out a fragile reality that hides more than one cliché, stereotype and simplification. The diverse innocuousness of her vibrantly colorful installation is complemented by a reading of equally colorful news stories.

	MANIFEST DESTINY
	American history is filled with stories about how to hide chauvinism and expansion behind lofty ideals of inevitable fate, of a manifest destiny to settle paradise; how to endlessly, shamelessly, and by force expand the boundaries of one’s garden. Joyce Hatto, too, had a nearly unbounded approach to reality, making nearly 120 recordings of piano concerts in her life. One of England’s greatest female pianists – or maybe not?

	CHANEL NO. 5
	In the evening, after an entire day spent scanning official documents and with his fingers trembling from all that dematerialization, a person might, as he his falling asleep, slap his forehead in the realization that he would feel better if, in the morning, he stopped doing his job and refused to wipe the dust of the scanner’s glass surface. Only the dusty bits of cellulose on his nasal membranes now remind him satisfactorily that, even though he is easily lost, he can just as easily still find himself.

THE HORROR OF MCNALLY'S CRITIQUE

If the monstrous nature of capitalism calls for monstrous comparisons, perhaps our method of evaluation should be monstrous as well. Wouldn’t this be the least we could do, assuming that we are already living a nightmare? Or must we preserve our humility evening in the face of horror, not succumb to the delusions of well-fitting metaphors and not fight the devil with his own tools?

	MY CAREER IN POETRY OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE INSTITUTION
	An American poet was invited to the White House in order to read his controversial plagiarized poetry. All tricked out and ready to do it his way, he comes to the “scandalous” realization that nothing bothers anyone anymore, and instead of banging your head against the wall it is better to build you own walls or at least little fences.

	AFRICAN VAMPIRES IN THE AGE OF GLOBALISATION
	"In Cameroon, rumours abound of zombie-labourers toiling on invisible plantations in an obscure night-time economy."

	Mike Diana \| cartoon \| 12.10.2012 20:42
	NO FUTURE FOR CENSORSHIP
	Author dreaming of a future without censorship we have never got rid of. It seems, that people don‘t care while it grows stronger again.

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.
