What are they doing in Berlin ?
I have not been at Berlin Biennial yet, but what I read sounds very lukewarm, like
""By using the Gagosian Gallery's international brand name in a humble space and highly local context, Mr. Gioni said, the curators sought to "create a kind of tension between the global and the local.""
Wow, Global and Local had been topics for years, I thought the Istanbul Biennial is specialized on that...
Why to create a tension, wich is obviously common all over around and in us for a long time ? We artists want no mainstream, but visions
"With a budget of about $3 million from the German Federal Cultural Foundation and nearly two years to prepare..."Wow, curators, good deal
""But what we came to understand in Berlin were the incredible layers of history and all the different ways that artists work and show here — not just in institutions, but in temporary spaces, apartments,"..."Oh, my god
"Mr. Gioni said. "Art used to be about making something eternal. Now it's about a product with programmed obsolescence, almost with an expiration date.""
He probably knows best, what he is talking about.
What kind of art I am now waiting for (if its not done already these days...)
- Circus tents, curators, collectors and jumping Bears and Bulls.
- Artists painting their Gmail-Inboxes on huge canvases
- Selling frozen or endless repeating stock monitors as "top emerging art products"
- Rss-feed- sculptures shaping human dna's
