      [txt] Cory Doctorow - What’s "Little Brother" book about?
      Giving away ebooks gives me artistic, moral and commercial satisfaction. The commercial question is the one that comes up most often: how can you give away free ebooks and still make money? For me — for pretty much every writer — the big problem isn’t piracy, it’s obscurity (thanks to Tim O’Reilly for this great aphorism). Of all the people who failed to buy this book today, the majority did so because they never heard of it, not because someone gave them a free copy. Mega-hit best-sellers in science fiction sell half a million copies — in a world where 175,000 attend the San Diego Comic Con alone, you’ve got to figure that most of the people who “like science fiction” (and related geeky stuff like comics, games, Linux, and so on) just don’t really buy books. I’m more interested in getting more of that wider audience into the tent than making sure that everyone who’s in the tent bought a ticket to be there.

      [txt] The Skinny Recommends: International Art events 2009
      Every other year Venice plays host to what is described by some cynics as the Euro Vision Art Contest, with artists representing their respective countries going head to head in an all-out 5 month long art battle. There are medals and everything. [...] I would advise making the trip to Venice this summer: stay in the cheap hostel on Guidecca, hang out in Campo Santa Margherita (the only place open after 10pm), and most importantly wear comfortable shoes - the taxis are even more expensive than in Edinburgh.

      txt Yang Haegue to represent Korea in Venice - the korea herald
      Installation artist Yang Haegue has been chosen to hold a solo presentation in the Korean Pavilion at the 53rd Venice Biennale in Italy next year. [...] "I think the similarity between an artist and a philosopher is that they both try to realize something that already exists," said Yang. "I simply try to express them with my artistic words."

Gastronomic stands and local handicrafts and items: glass, bijoux, paintings, hats, home decor and much more - Piazza Ferretto - Mestre Christmas Markets, concerts, entertainments...for a magic Christmas 10 minutes away from Venice From 6 to 24 December from Monday to Friday 4pm - 7pm, Saturdays and Sundays 10.30am-12.30am, 4pm-7pm. - Love, the new Venetian way of celebrating New Year, returns to Piazza San Marco in Venice and to Piazza Ferretto in Mestre, ready to set the heart of the city beating on one of the most important nights of the year.

      [txt] Shortened excerpt from: East Coast Europe, edited by Markus Miessen, Sternberg Press 2008. Interview in corelation to the appoitment of Felix Vogel (21 years old) as curator of Bucharest Biennale 4.
      Markus Miessen: What are the most important and exciting fields of investigation for you right now? Felix Vogel: I am very interested in the connection between the public and the aesthetic sphere: how is the public structured today and what can possible interventions in it look like? What does it mean to act and react on site? I understand this in the broader sense of the meaning of ‘site-specificity’ that is producing something not only through spatial parameters but also connecting it to the political, social, urban and audience related issues. Basically, everything centres around the question of living: in what way are we living together? And – even if this sounds a bit out-dated – can art play an active and emancipating role here? Bucharest really asks for something different, because the setting is distinct from other European cities and I see my role as curator to act within this special setting and try to behave in the least ‘colonial’ way possible.
