Peep Hole Sheet Issue 07, Winter 2011, PAVEL BÜCHLER

Pavel Büchler is an artist, lecturer and writer. He is committed to the catalytic nature of art – its potential to draw attention to the obvious and revealing it as
ultimately strange. Notes from the bottom of a bag is released in conjunction of his exhibition Working Title (in collaboration with Evangelia Spiliopoulou) at Peep-Hole.
In almost two years, this is the first time that the exhibition program and the contribution for the editiorial project overlap. It is not a coincidence, but a way to pay homage to an intellectual we think is one of the key figures on the art scene in Europe and around the world.
The text is composed of a series of notes gathered and collected. As Büchler says at the beginning of the text, they “are unresolved, undeveloped, unrehearsed and unrevised. They are left that way so that the writing can continue.” They are ‘useless’ notes that build a discussion around ‘nothing’ and (like art) acquire meaning by saying (doing) that which is meaningless in itself.

mono.kultur #26 – Manfred Eicher, Recording ECM

mono.kultur #26 – Manfred Eicher, Recording ECM

mono.kultur #26 is dedicated to Manfred Eicher, the mastermind behind the highly prestigious jazz and classic label ECM Records. Founded in 1969, ECM have by now released more than 1,000 albums, many of which were produced by Eicher personally.
Based in Munich, ECM has a long history of reviving and tirelessly promoting the avant-garde of contemporary Jazz, hosting the likes of Keith Jarrett, Jan Garbarek or Pat Metheny. At a time when Jazz was on its wane, ECM introduced a decidedly European notion to this primarily American genre, exploring new sound and different approaches to a stagnating phenomenon.
In 1984, Eicher expanded into contemporary classical music with his line ECM New Series, releasing seminal works by Arvo Pärt or Steve Reich. Both imprints have changed the face of their respective genres forever, due to the audacious release schedule, the high production standards and the aesthetic appearance of the label. All aspects attest to the personal touch of a relentlessly perfectionist visionary.
In a high-minded and challenging conversation, Manfred Eicher talked with mono.kultur about sound, silence and everything inbetween.

Mousse Magazine no. 27

In December, Ute Meta Bauer and Dan Graham met up in New York for a conversation whose scope was determined by their many shared interests and long friendship, as well as a passion for literature that, inevitably, is connected to an extraordinary storytelling ability. Hans Ulrich Obrist and Stuart Comer got together with William (Bill) Leavitt for a long conversation just a few months after his first retrospective at Los Angeles MOCA, an event that John Baldessari celebrates in his introductory portrait of the artist.

For PART OF THE PROCESS, Ronald Van de Sompel talked with Sven Augustijnen about the artist’s new film, Spectres, which focuses on the decolonization of the Belgian Congo, especially the circumstances surrounding the murder of Patrice Lumumba. A dark work that tracks the phantoms of history into their most hidden retreats.You need to read Chus Martínez’s text at samba rhythm. Samba is a movement of the body that reverberates in the movement of the social body. It is also a way to neutralize the system, as the author explains. The art world is flooded with printed matter. Dieter Roelstraete analyzes this phenomenon for PORTFOLIO in relation to the work of Zin Taylor, who is unquestionably an exquisite narrator. To Andrew Berardini, the greatest achievement of Brian Bress’s work is that it makes us keenly aware of how much television entertainment has shaped our mental processes. Yarn Man and his bizarre friends make this clear to us.Building houses out of nothing and against all odds. Abraham Cruzvillegas has translated the experience of autoconstruccion into several initiatives, which he talked about with Vincenzo de Bellis. Fiete Stolte lives in a parallel reality. Not a different world from ours, but the same one according to a different model of time. One where nights are not always dark, nor days always light. Jennifer Allen tried to synchronize herself with the artist’s new calendar, for HARK!

ARTIST PROJECT: Jeremy Deller, introduced by an interview with Peter Eleey.

TEN FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS OF CURATING, a project curated by Jens Hoffmann, sponsored by Fiorucci Art Trust and Mousse Publishing, explores the multifaceted physiognomy of the curator. The third of ten dossiers features João Ribas answering the question “What to do with the contemporary?” plus selected illustrations by Matthew Buckingham

SHOOK Vol.1 #10 / Winter 2011 – The Great British issue: Entropy in the UK

In this issue, SHOOK tracks down the prodigal son, DJ Milo, who talks about the Wild Bunch sound system – the test laboratory for Massive Attack and ‘the Bristol Sound’; we celebrate the original pirate station turned legal Kiss FM, as we speak to many of the DJs from the station. We chat exclusively with Keith Mansfield whose music has been used by Dangermouse, Quentin Tarantino and Des Lynham. Bass is the place as we hear Mala reminisce about Metalheadz and DMZ, and we sit down with Sticky, the man who made Ms. Dynamite say Booo! We run down our survey of the UK’s record shops – from buying northern soul in Blackburn to reggae in Tottenham; and include stories on Queen of Lovers Rock, Carroll Thompson, Brit funkers Cymande and the very special United Vibrations; as well as teaching you how to run a record label, with Firecracker, RAMP Recordings and First Word. Plus we meet the new techno visionaries like Sei A and Wbeeza, and live it up in the Northern Quarter with Mr. Scruff, Graham Massey, Maddslinky and Hoya:Hoya
