      Turin: from Lingotto to Lego

      txt from: Turin accelerates into the future - Guardian Unlimited blogs
      There was so much going on in Turin last week that the modest city felt close to cultural combustion. Art and music journalists filled hotels in anticipation of the electronica and performance extravaganza Club to Club, and Artissima - Italy's main art fair supposedly whipped into a smaller, more contemporary art focused shape by its new director Andrea Bellini. But the packed programme also looked set to shuttle us around every major museum and gallery space, via the extraordinary ruins of the Officine Grandi Riparazioni re-development, in just two days. [...]
      [...]A new cultural exhibition centre will gradually emerge from the derelict Officine Grandi Riparazioni - vast industrial workshops built on a nave formation. Visiting this old monument to Turin's industrial past is curiously moving. Taking in the decaying architectural details alongside evidence of the buildings' recent rave-cultural history, you hope that as this city continues on its major building offensive, the baby isn't thrown out with bathwater.

      txt from: Banksy's graffiti art sells for half a million
      "Perhaps the most incredible aspect of the Banksy phenomenon is neither his meteoric rise, nor the substantial sums of money that his art now commands, but that as a self-confessed guerilla artist, he has been so wholeheartedly embraced by the very establishment he satirises. We are sure that this irony is not lost on today's buyers."

      txt from: ART/ARCHITECTURE; Museum With (Only) Walls
      THERE's a world-class museum on Jackson Avenue in Long Island City that's free, that's open 24/7 and that shows the top artists in their field. It has hundreds of artworks, most of them huge: murals with allegorical tales of good and evil, modern takes on Rembrandt, variations on and homages to grunge comix and the golden age of Mad magazine. The art is constantly changing, the staff is paid nothing and anyone can show there. Almost every artist uses a nom de plume. The best view is from the elevated No. 7 train. It's not the P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center but the blocklong establishment across the street -- 5 Pointz: The Institute of Higher Burnin'. 5 Pointz (the name signifies the five boroughs) is New York's hub for the high aerosol -- or spray-can -- art. The outside walls, the rooftops and especially the loading dock, not to mention the indoor halls and air shafts or the trucks parked outside, are its Technicolor showcase.

      txt from: Austrian Cultural Forum London - Visual Arts Platform - Nikola Hansalik: I want them to buy my art, do I …
      "Seven telephones line the wall of an empty room, lit only by red neon lights. When lifted, the same voice speaks from each receiver and describes the future of Austrian artist Nikola Hansalik. In 2006 Hansalik travelled to New York, where the myth of success lines every street. Exploring the motivating forces behind the ever expanding art market, and questioning the mechanisms which attribute capital value to masterpieces, Hansalik set out to challenge her own future success as an artist. Over the course of a week, she asked a series of Manhattan fortune tellers to predict her future. The seven forecasts she collected, now heard through the seven receivers on the wall in her voice, seem at times uncannily identical, and at others, expectedly different. In asking for multiple predictions and presenting these in the same neon light so synonymous with New York, Hansalik removes the aura and veracity of a single prognosis, and reduces the intimate act of fortune telling into a banal cliche. ‘I want them to buy my art, do I…’ becomes an ironic self portrait, presenting personal details of an unconfirmed future."

      Facebook announced its new social advertising plans. text from: Rough type -The social graft
      Infect me. I'm yours. Facebook, which distinguished itself by being the anti-MySpace, is now determined to out-MySpace MySpace. It's a nifty system: First you get your users to entrust their personal data to you, and then you not only sell that data to advertisers but you get the users to be the vector for the ads. And what do the users get in return? An animated Sprite Sips character to interact with.

      Twenty minutes to understand problems and opportunities of the digital new age. from: TED Talks - Larry Lessig: How creativity is being strangled by the law
      Larry Lessig gets TEDsters to their feet, whooping and whistling, following this elegant presentation of “three stories and an argument.” The Net’s most adored lawyer brings together John Philip Sousa, celestial copyrights, and the “ASCAP cartel” to build a case for creative freedom. He pins down the key shortcomings of our dusty, pre-digital intellectual property laws, and reveals how bad laws beget bad code. Then, in an homage to cutting-edge artistry, he throws in some of the most hilarious remixes you’ve ever seen.

      The World Wide Warhol Economy

      from: Princeton University Press: intro to The Warhol Economy: How Fashion, Art, and Music Drive New York City - by Elizabeth Currid
      In The Warhol Economy, Elizabeth Currid argues that creative industries like fashion, art, and music drive the economy of New York as much as--if not more than--finance, real estate, and law. And these creative industries are fueled by the social life that whirls around the clubs, galleries, music venues, and fashion shows where creative people meet, network, exchange ideas, pass judgments, and set the trends that shape popular culture.
      from: Hu Jintao's keynote speech
      "Culture has become a more and more important source of national cohesion and creativity and a factor of growing significance in the competition in overall national strength," "...to vigorously develop the cultural industry, launch major projects to lead the industry as a whole, speed up the development of cultural industry bases and clusters of cultural industries with regional features, nurture key enterprises and strategic investors, create a thriving cultural market and enhance the industry's international competitiveness"
