      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.

      txt: No Title Required - Wislawa Szymborska (Polish Nobel Prize winner) via: new-art.blogspot.com
      [...] 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.

      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.

      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.

      txt from: Giant Global Graph - Tim Berners Lee's Blog
      Its not the Social Network Sites that are interesting -- it is the Social Network itself. The Social Graph. The way I am connected, not the way my Web pages are connected.
      [...]
      In the long term vision, thinking in terms of the graph rather than the web is critical to us making best use of the mobile web, the zoo of wildy differing devices which will give us access to the system. Then, when I book a flight it is the flight that interests me. Not the flight page on the travel site, or the flight page on the airline site, but the URI (issued by the airlines) of the flight itself. That's what I will bookmark. And whichever device I use to look up the bookmark, phone or office wall, it will access a situation-appropriate view of an integration of everything I know about that flight from different sources. The task of booking and taking the flight will involve many interactions. And all throughout them, that task and the flight will be primary things in my awareness, the websites involved will be secondary things, and the network and the devices tertiary. I'll be thinking in the graph. My flights. My friends. Things in my life. My breakfast. What was that? Oh, yogourt, granola, nuts, and fresh fruit, since you ask.

      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."

      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 ex: Skyscrapers won't turn Croydon into Barcelona
      It's one of the biggest questions of the age: does spending a lot on flashy buildings by international "starchitects" actually deliver regeneration? It delivers something: nice, RIBA award-winning buildings. Maybe a couple of weeks of athletics. Occasionally, a stupendous folly. And a lot of deja vu. [...]
      [...] how much money do you really need to spend on architecture to regenerate an area's fortunes? Isn't it time we started seeing regeneration as a bottom-up, people-focused process and not a top-down way of spending millions on funky buildings?
