Interview #4 (DE). Mai 2012

Diesen Monat in INTERVIEW:

Die Schauspielerin Keira Knightley sieht für sich keine Chance, US-Präsidentin zu werden, und plädiert für Ahnungslosigkeit beim Kinobesuch. Im Gespräch mit David Cronenberg erzählt sie vom Dreh zu ihrem neuen Film „Anna Karenina“, was der Filmemacher sich mit wachsender Eifersucht anhört: „Ich kann die Vorstellung, dass du mit anderen Regisseuren arbeitest, nur schwer ertragen.“

Die neue Documenta-Leiterin Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev fordert im Gespräch mit der Hundetrainerin Maike Maja Nowak ein Wahlrecht für Hunde. Die Filmproduzentin Minu Barati spricht mit Katja Riemann über ihren Flötenunterricht auf der Waldorfschule. Und die Musikerin Lydia Lunch erklärt ihrem Kollegen Alec Empire, dass sie sich wie ein schwuler Trucker fühlt.

Der Rolling-Stones-Gitarrist Ronnie Wood erzählt Naomi Campbell, dass er erst im Entzug gelernt hat, wie man Wäsche wäscht. Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough berichtet seinem alten Freund Joey McIntyre von den New Kids On The Block, wie glücklich er war, als ihm ein Fan in den Schritt gegriffen habe – es sei der Rock’n’Roll-Moment seiner Karriere gewesen. Ein ganz anderes Erlebnis hatte beim Künstler Martin Eder schwer wiegende Folgen: Wie er dem Kurator Thomas Girst erklärt, schlug ein Meteorit in seinem Garten ein.

Die Jungs aus der MTV-Serie „Jersey Shore“ haben sich von Terry Richardson mit dem israelischen Supermodel Bar Refaeli fotografieren lassen. Schauspielerin Jessica Alba erzählt Regisseur Robert Rodriguez von ihrem neuen Leben als Chefin eines Vertriebs für umweltfreundliche Baby- und Haushaltsprodukte. Und die Sängerin Norah Jones erklärt, dass sie ihr Hit-Album „Come Away With Me“ gern vom Markt genommen hätte.

San Rocco #3: Mistakes

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.

Peep-Hole Sheet #11: Pedro Barateiro – The Artist As Spectator

Peep-Hole Sheet is a quarterly of writings by artists.
Each issue is dedicated solely to one artist, who is invited to contribute with an unpublished text whose content is completely free in terms both of subject and format.
The texts are published in their original language, with accompanying translations in English and Italian. All images are deliberately avoided. Peep-Hole Sheet is meant for those who believe artists are catalysts for ideas all around us, and who want to read their words without any filter.
Over time it aspires to build up an anthology of writings that might open new perspectives for interpreting and understanding our times.

Written in 2005 and unpublished until now, The Artist as Spectator is conceived as a flux, a collection of thoughts that accompany the work of Pedro Barateiro: “I will be re-writing my own words for the rest of my life, that’s for sure. I will go on for my own reasons, creating my own language.”
A work which delineates, above all, a reflexive act and possibility of a “release from seizure,” departing from the awareness that we are all coopted into the logic of the Market/Spectacle that art, in some way, foretells. The invitation is therefore that of recovering the gaze toward ourselves and the world, always staying on the scene of the crime, always on the verge of disappearance. The object, the video, the artistic means becomes a gun pointed to the temple: we can wait for something (the world, time) to change, or decide to aim the weapon.
