“Architecture is a collective knowledge produced through the efforts of a multitude.within their multitude, two forms of collaboration unfold: a synchronic one, and a diachronic one, which connects all design attempts in a multifaceted Architectura Universalis.

The Possibility of collaboration now relies upon a broader “agreement with” all previous architecture.To put it another way, collaboration today is based on collaborations of the past. Indeed, it is possible to collaborate precisely because there is a shared body of knowledge that provides the basis for agreement. Collaboration is possible because architectural knowledge is one and given, and thus inevitably shared”

SAN ROCCO is a magazine about architecture.
SAN ROCCO does not solve problems. It is not a useful magazine.
SAN ROCCO is neither serious nor friendly.
SAN ROCCO is written by architects. As such, SAN ROCCO is not particularly intelligent, or philologically accurate. In SAN ROCCO, pictures are more important than texts.
SAN ROCCO is serious. It takes the risk of appearing naive.
SAN ROCCO will not last for ever. There will be no more than 20 SAN ROCCOs for the single five-year plan.
San Rocco is the name of a place in Monza, not a nice place. Giorgio Grassi and Aldo Rossi engaged in a design competition for this place in 1971. The project was not built; ordinary housing blocks were built instead.

A new art school? Statements by 30 artists, writers and architects.

Over the past two decades, Berlin’s growth into an international art metropolis has brought many people to the city. A number of these imports teach art – seemingly in all other cities but Berlin. The city’s two schools providing full-scale arts education – the Universität der Künste (UdK) and the Hochschule Berlin Weissensee – were established long before 1989.

Since 2006, if not before, discussions about the UdK’s organizational and administrative politics have flared up – generated, for one, by the stepping down of Stan Douglas and Daniel Richter as professors, a development the UdK attempted to atone for by appointing prominent professors such as Olafur Eliasson (whose assignment though ends March 2014). Weissensee has seen an outflow of professors with international profiles to teaching posts in other cities – Karin Sander has taught in Zurich since 2007, Katharina Grosse in Düsseldorf since 2010 – and the school has gone the way of appointing guest professors and lecturers.

Reputations, ratings and capacities for reform aside, the question still presents itself whether Berlin, given its manifold art scene, is in need of new models and directions for its art education. In 2006–7, the one-year temporary project unitednationsplaza underscorred the city’s desire for an informal art school mediating its larger, international art discourse.

Does the current situation suffice? If not, what form would a new institute ideally take? frieze d/e asked Monica BONVICINI, Helmut DRAXLER, Tom HOLERT and Robert KUDIELKA for extended responses to these questions. A set of additional artists and theorists also contributed shorter statements.

Finally, six artists and architects – Roger BUNDSCHUH, Eva GRUBINGER, Sabine HORNIG, Michelle HOWARD, KUEHN MALVEZZI, and Studio MIESSEN – were asked to submit concrete drafts for the design and structure of a new art academy.

And much more…

Von Michael Stührenberg

Von Erwin Koch

– Singapurs Putzfrauen: Unter prekären Bedingungen gehalten, machen die Maids der Expats deren Erfolg erst möglich.
Von Milena Moser

-Bayrisches Requiem: Eine Autobahn führt bald durch das idyllische Isental – Melkstuhlromantik und Grossstadtleben wachsen zusammen.
Von Sabine Riedel

-Hügel 875: Die historische Reportage – von 1930
Von Oriana Fallaci

-Autorin im Gespräch: Milena Moser

-Das Objekt: Am Anfang dieser kleinen Reportage steht die Welt. Genauer gesagt: ein 450-jähriger, über zwei Meter hoher Globus, der im Landesmuseum Zürich zu sehen ist. Unser Autor Urs Mannhart, der gerne musealen Gegenständen nachspürt, landete auf den Spuren dieser Erdkugel hinter dicken Klostermauern – und stiess auf einen zähen, interkantonalen Streit und eine handwerklich bestrickende Schöpfungsgeschichte.
Von Urs Mannhart

-Keine Geschichte: Er gilt als der Billigste der Stadt. 25 Franken kostet ein Haarschnitt, dazu gibt es Tee und Stille. Die Angestellten, die gerade keine Kundschaft haben, sitzen in Lederstühlen und blicken zum Flachbildschirm, der seit neun Jahren an der Decke hängt und das neuste Gerät ist in Coiffeur Salehs Laden an der Josefstrasse 141, Kreis 5, Zürich, 30 Quadratmeter Syrien, 3000 Kilometer von Syrien entfernt.
Von Florian Leu

-Claudio Calabrese: Am 3. März haben wir es der Welt wieder einmal gezeigt. Das Schweizer Stimmvolk hat die Abzocker aus den Chefetagen der Grosskonzerne in die Schranken gewiesen, sie Mores gelehrt. Die direkte Demokratie zeigte ihre Zähne. Fast jeder und jede dritte Stimmberechtigte stimmte für die Initiative von Mundwassermann Minder. Ex-Botschafter Borer attestierte den Schweizern danach im «Spiegel» ein «sehr grosses Gerechtigkeitsgefühl». Wir sind das einzig wahrlich souveräne Volk der Welt. Müsste man meinen.

Modern Matter’s fourth issue, Made In USA, is a collaboration with London’s ICA gallery, created on the eve of a major retrospective by the New York-based art collective, the Bernadette Corporation (making it the first independent magazine to act as an ICA partner). Its cover star is the iconic American actress, Chloë Sevigny; the issue’s content is themed, in part, around the dual ideals of Art and America, and includes an exploration of the New York art scene.

Camera Austria International #121.

What has been apparent for quite some time now, is a new exploration or a reappropriation of artistic practices, especially of the 1970s. Camera Austria International 121 does not only survey these positions as to their relevance within society in the present day, but also fosters tension between them and contemporary artistic practices. Joanna Warsza introduces the works of the Polish artist group Akademia Ruchu while the collective works of the Gorgona Group of Zagreb are at the heart of the essay by Sandra Križić Roban. The literary scholar Wendy Tronrud approximates the meta-referential works of South American artist Alejandro Cesarco. Austrian artists Nicole Six & Paul Petritsch take direct recourse to conceptual practices from the 1970s in creating an independent artistic contribution. According to the thematic emphasis of this issue, the Forum section is designed by the Open Class at the Academy of Fine Art, Vienna in a collaborative process. An extensive section offering reviews of international exhibitions and books supplements the main content of this issue.

White Zinfandel #3: Food Fights. W/—— Projects.

Issue No. 3 / FOOD FIGHTS
FW / 2012

Since our last issue, we’ve observed the convulsions in the Middle East from afar and witnessed up close the incantations against Wall Street. Paired with the explosion of food as culture, with the elevation of our most basic necessity to a luxury good, this issue reflects an idiosyncratic year of massive change.
