      Haegue Yang - Born in 1971 in Seoul, Korea. Lives and works in Berlin, Germany and Seoul, Korea txt: Life on Mars, the 2008 Carnegie International on youtube
      This acute sense of provisional belonging - being at home in what is foreign and feeling foreign in what is home - lends Yang's work a hair-trigger sensitivity for the inflections of quotidian experience as well as public and private territories.

      txt: Simone Berti - Untitled, 2000, photographs - manifesta 3 /Ljubljana, 2000
      Already in his early works, namely video installations, Simone Berti called attention to the problem of the precariousness of the present moment. Berti once wrote that only in a given situation when everything becomes doubtful, could some level of certainty be achieved. He often imagines objects and situations which seem as if they were destined for failure from one moment to another, merely due to momentary nausea.

      txt: Massimo Bartolini - Triple Loop - www.ikon-gallery.co.uk
      Circles, spheres and circularity characterised this exhibition of new works by acclaimed Italian artist Massimo Bartolini. This installation was unsettling and conducive to reflection, familiar yet shot through with incongruity. Sphere closely resembled a court for the French game of boules. An area inside the vast industrial space of Ikon Eastside was prepared with soil and gravel, according to professional guidelines, and the boules, eight brass balls, were available for those wishing to play. A small wooden ball called ‘cochon’ is usually used but the artist substituted this with a walnut. Bartolini refers to the Zen-like nature of boules, the idea that it engenders a philosophical quiet.

      txt: Rosa Barba - Western Round Table 2027
      Rosa Barba is an artist who might work in a variety of media but whose work is invariably about one medium in particular: industrial cinema. [...] Western Round Table 2027. As such this work becomes an already-antiquated memorial sent back from a future without words, figured by the epochal past of the early twentieth century, of derelict (modernist) form.

      txt: Lara Favaretto - "Project for Some Hallucinations" Frieze Projects 2007
      It is not important to know whether the Queen will come to the fair or not because, once the news of my inviting her spreads, the image of her visit will already be implanted in people’s minds. It is like when one listens to the relating of an idea that is so powerful it ultimately does not matter if it is ever realized, since there is already enough substance by which to visualize it. I imagine this to be like living surrounded by the empty set of a show, from which the main character is missing, when the end of the show is announced by an unexpected applause thanking all the participants.

      Dr. Balassanian said that NPAK has organized a drive to raise funds to implement this project. "The global financial crisis has hampered the fund-raising effort drastically. Contributions of any size will be highly appreciated and will save the day. I cannot stress the gravity of the situation more," he explained.
