      oddtag: I haven't read the magazine, but these questions (it's always the questions the best clues) caught me.. txt: www.pavilionmagazine.org - What was socialism, and what comes next - issue 10/11 via: e-flux.com
      The changes of 1989 did more than disturb western complacency about the "new world order" and preempt the imagined fraternity of a new European Union: they signaled that a thorough-going reorganization of the globe is in course. In that case, we might wonder at the effort to implant perhaps-obsolescent western forms in "the East." This is what I mean: what comes next is anybody's guess.

      [...] So it happens that I am and look. Above me a white butterfly is fluttering through the air on wings that are its alone, and a shadow skims through my hands that is none other than itself, no one else’s but its own. When I see such things, I’m no longer sure that what’s important is more important than what’s not.
      txt: 2008 - Frieze Magazine - frieze asked 23 critics and curators from around the world to choose what they are looking forward to in 2008
      Jan Verwoert: I’m looking forward to more time spent alone and with friends on invoking micro-societies dedicated to the appreciation of art, ideas and other workable ways to live a good life. Anton Vidokle: I see more and more evidence of artistic, discursive and organizational practices coalescing into a kind of an undifferentiated mode of art production. This phenomenon has as much to do with rethinking basic economic structures behind art practice as with rethinking the traditional categories of artistic roles and circulation of art. I look forward to seeing these tendencies being further articulated in the forthcoming year.

      But what about the artists who effectively harness the commercial forces of our cultural moment, which Saltz and his editors at New York find so distasteful? Their post-Warholian impact on the current artistic landscape cannot be dismissed with simplistic ethical arguments: money is bad, so art tainted by it is also bad. The fact is that there is no way to escape the market: it absorbs subversion and packages dissent, selling us an image of ourselves as conscientious objectors even when we are deeply entrenched in its system.

      In the Renaissance art served society, it played a fundamental role via the visual representation of Christian ideology. It also served the court, and in the 17th century it began to serve the rising bourgeoisie due to its capacity for visual representation. This fell apart in 1839 with the advent of the daguerreotype.

      We're planning a spectacular new building and we want to create a photographic 'Mood Board' of the kind of interior spaces, ambience and designs that people would like to find there. Favourite spaces might include a café or bar, chill-out space or lounge; it could be a domestic interior or a public space. We'll be blogging here regularly to get a conversation going, and we'll put the best photos and ideas generated into a display at Tate Modern in summer 2008.

      New Museum - 235 Bowery, New York, NY 10002 link from: www.newmuseum.org
      The New Museum of Contemporary Art, designed by Tokyo-based architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa/SANAA with Gensler, New York, serving as Executive Architect, is a seven-story, structure located at 235 Bowery between Stanton and Rivington Streets, at the origin of Prince Street in New York City. The first art museum ever constructed from the ground up in downtown Manhattan, the New Museum will open to the public on December 1, 2007, coinciding with the institution’s 30th anniversary.
      txt from: Little House on the Bowery - New York Magazine - nymag.com
      Dada poet Hugo Ball wrote of World War I, “Everything has been shaken to its very foundations.” In 1965, Jasper Johns seemed to want to examine that shakiness when he said he was interested in “an indirect, unanchored way of seeing.” The insightful painter Cheryl Donegan updates Johns’s quote, admiringly calling artists like those in “Unmonumental” “the fucked-up sons and daughters of de Kooning and Warhol.” What she may mean is that this type of work is simultaneously sincere and ironic, acutely self-aware, knowingly shaky, a little snarky, inwardly anxious, and uncertain about the future, but brashly passionate about art without pledging allegiance to any one style. That’s an apt description of “Unmonumental”—and even the New Museum itself.

      Four of the 15 accidents, some of which resulted in minor injuries, have been reported to the Health and Safety Executive. The museum has considered using Perspex glass to cover Shibboleth 2007, which opened on October 8 runs the full 167 metres (548 feet) of the cavernous hall. Doris Salcedo, the Colombian artist behind the work, has said that her installation is intended to symbolise racial hatred and division in society.

      txt from: Extraordinary daily[article in italian]
      "If the mission of art has been to propose new ways of conceiving and feeling to everybody - and not to just a narrow circle of people - not just on special occasions but in everyday life, then it becomes necessary to think about the fact that maybe the art has completed his historic task. Better: design has taken charge of that task, and it is nowadays at the forefront in the job of displacement, erosion, activation, modulation on the edge between possible/impossible, real/surreal, daily/extraordinary."
