Mama Say Make I Dey Go, She Dey My Back
Mama Say Make I Dey Go, She Dey My Back

Jelili Atiku, Damian Christinger

Venice, Lagos, and the Spaces in between

The key to survival will lay in female hands.

Wandering down the Riva S. Biasio I gaze at the superyachts, thronged at the quay, and the African street vendors selling cheap knock-off handbags: poor immigrants trying to make a living contrasted with the absurdly wealthy visiting one of the great gatherings of the globalized art world. This image has become a sort of a cliché, especially during the last edition of the Biennale di Venezia, curated by Okwui Enwezor, with its emphasis on art from the global South and...

“Fuck that thing.” That’s all punk needs.

Donatien Grau, James Spooner

“Fuck that thing.” That’s all punk needs.

“The thing about punk is that you’re allowed to talk about anything. Kids can talk about whatever they want. There’s nobody saying, ‘No, you can’t do that, it’s not punk.’”

Über das Denken der Kunst

Von der Kunst als Forschung und der Forschung als Kunst ist spätestens seit den 1990er Jahren die Rede. Das Konzept sucht die Künste und Wissenschaften in ihrer Arbeitsweise einander anzunähern, doch wird dabei kaum die Frage gestellt, welche Art von Wissen die Künste im Unterschied zu den Wissenschaften hervorbringen.

Punk’s raptures are mystical.

Simon Critchley

Punk’s raptures are mystical.

Iggy showed the error of human existence, the breathless nearness of death, and the lure of fun and action. He was like a much better-looking version of Schopenhauer.

Haifa’s architectural modernism
Haifa’s architectural modernism

Ines Weizman

The Architectural Casino

Ines Weizman synchronises different narratives that have been swept away by the chaotic hurricanes of time.

The Bat Galim Casino marks the point of connection for stories whose threads run along intercontinental channels to the French-American performer Joséphine Baker, while another narrative thread follows the hearing-impaired Viennese architect Adolf Loos and some of his clients, who emigrated to Haifa, highlighting the story of how home-sick migrants aimed to recreate a piece of Europe in Palestine. Weizmans encounter with architect and filmmaker Amos Gitai leads to a deeper investigation of the story of his father, Munio Weinraub,...
