The Commercial Art World has deflated so I am going to Barcelona

So, I’ve been realy busy since getting back from the Politaoke Tour, moving back to Berlin. Then there was the Akademie der Kunst and back to school at the UdK Berlin, Berlinale, Transmediale and every other kind of -ale there is.

I have a show coming up in Barcelona that I’ve been preparing for, but in the meantime, the New York Times has announced that the commercial art boom is once again dead and art can live again

Will there be a rise of content over asthetism? Will new mechanisms be made in order for artists to sell their work without the gallery?

Der Freund und der Fremde | 10 minutes of fame, ein Diaabend. Part II
Die lang ersehnte Fortsetzung des erfolgreichen Diaabends “Der Freund und der Fremde” vom Oktober 2007! Noch längst nicht sind alle anonymen Diapositive aus dem Archiv der FOTOTHEK, dem Fachgeschäft für vergessene Privatfotografien, gesichtet worden. Noch mehr Bilder und neue kreative Fotoristen werden das erregte Publikum wieder mit einem improvisierten Diaabend überraschen. Neun geladene Gäste stellen sich erneut dem Fremden. Es wird ein Spiel auf Zeit: In maximal 10 Minuten sollen den willkürlich zusammengestellten Diaserien Leben eingehaucht werden. Spontaneität und Improvisation sind gefragt – der Unterhaltungswert ist gesichert. Von der schönen fremden Bilderwelt herausfordern lassen sich diesmal Diana Arce, Walter Bergmoser, Philipp Heine, Frank Hiddemann, Christine Hill, Ronald Hirte, Olaf Nenninger, Bernhard Post, Micky Remann.
Die Damen Anke Heelemann und Alexandra Janizewski werden Sie charmant durch diesen Abend führen.
Eine Kooperation der ACC Galerie mit der FOTOTHEK, dem Fachgeschäft für vergessene Privatfotografien.

In Berlin is also a great exhibition of new works by Nan Hoover at Galerie Dieter Reitz and is showing until the 22nd of September.

Otherwise, I’ve been so busy with preparations for grad school and scholarship applications. I’m still working on the next screening and a few other new projects, once I have more to say I will write more regularly.

What are you doing this Friday?

You are cordially invited to the
The Best Of Show

Art Salon on Friday June 8th at Kay Salon

Now I am too lazy to translate this (click read more), but all I have to say is that Kay Uwe has given me the greatest haircuts of my entire life and knows how to throw a lovely soiree, finger foods included. My suggestion, forget the art, check out the salon and make an appointment, you will not be dissappointed! The opening starts at 8 pm.

Your last chance!

Go to air garten and see the installation, Moment, by Yukihiro Taguchi. Daniel Lima’s great space in Kreuzberg has been turned into a beautiful installation using the floor boards,

Happy New Year and all that Jazz

On my visit to the states, I decided to stop by the National Museum of Women in the Arts to check out their Book as Art exhibit. Much to my dismay, I found the exhibition a bit fragmented and not completely coherent. Sometimes it felt a bit like Mädchen Kunst, but at least the Free Masons are rolling over in their graves. The NMWA’s home is a former Masonic Temple.

Brunnenstrasse Berlin

Two weeks ago on my day off, I decided to visit Mitte to pick up a copy of A Man Without a Country by Kurt Vonnegut. Fabulous book by the way, buy it for someone you love for Christmas, they will not be disappointed. So before my lunch date with the Mindgardening member of Pheedelity I decided to see the shows I missed the last time I traveled to Brunnenstrasse.
