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.

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.

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…

If you know your way around, you might discover that every month and maybe even every week you stand the chance to receive money for your cultural project. Successful applicants have enough money, average applicants have enough to keep their mouths shut, and the unsuccessful ones are kept in check by the chance that they might get lucky in the future. One natural result has been the emergence of…
