AA Bronson

You can put many labels on AA Bronson: art veteran, shaman, General Idea’s survivor, gay role model. But in fact I am not really interested in all the cliches spinning around his persona.

Dev is a NYC based artist from California, who turns the idea of projecting life into hybrid sculptures. Dev Harlan is a multidisciplinary artist whose hybrid practice combines the physical and the virtual with

Henry Hargreaves

Earlier this year I was doing research for a food art feature, as in art where the medium of choice can be eaten. Unfortunately the artist that I’m going to introduce you to right now didn’t come up then with the Google search “food art” (unlike multiple images of oranges with cheese and ham on toothpicks stuck in their peel)

Men-Up! by Rion Sabean

I’ve always dreamt that one day David LaChapelle will approach me to beg me to be his pinup model. Unfortunately,  I think those days lay ahead in the not so near future. Unlike Christopher Schulz’ furry teddybear Pinups, Rion’s models cary the spirit of the old-school pinups – which makes the collection look a bit kitschy tho. Rion Sabean (26)

OSTALGIA

When I go back to my roots, it is usually for either food or art. This time, it’s the latter. With an exhibition covering art from all (well, almost all; Bulgaria is not included) the former Eastern block countries, the New Museum New York exposes Eastern artists to Western judgement. In the nineties, the Germans coined a new word, Ostalgie,

To attend this event I’d only need to walk out of my place and walk 10 minutes to Tempelhof Park / Airport.
