In dieser Ausgabe:

-So lebe Ich
Die niederlaendiche Architektin und Designerin Rianne Makkink lebt und arbeitet in Rotterdam – ihre zweite Spielweise ist ein alter Bauenhof auf dem Land, wo sie sich erden kann.

-Die Feldkueche
ein Freundeskreis aus Voralberg laedt allsommerlich zum grossen Feldschmaus in den Bergenzerwald und tischt auf, was die Gegend zu bieten hat. Das schmeckt den Zugereisten wie den Locals.

-Die Kroenung
Blumen im Haar zu tragen war einmal das Erkennungszeichen der Hippies. Fuer die hier gezeigten Maedchen aus Georgien ist es einfach selbst gemachter Schmuck aus ihrer Heimat. Eine Fotostrecke.

-Das Schaufenster
Man macht es hinterm Haus, im Haus und inzwischen auch an vielen anderen verrueckten Orten: Gaertnern kommt einfach nicht aus der Mode. Wir zeigen hilfreiche Dinge fuer Einsteiger und Profis.

-Das Bienenhus
Der Architekt Benedikt Bosch hat im Bregenzerwald einen schlichten, aber einladend-gemuetlichen Neubau realisiert. An der Stelle, wo zuwor das Wochenendhaus seiner Kindheit stand.

-La Passione
Oliven anbauen, kochen oder Theaterdirektor sein: Was di Familie Di Capua tut, das macht sie mit Leidenschaft. Ein Besuch im sueditalienischen Oertchen Bonefro, wo di Oliven wachsen.

-Zug durch die Gemeinde
13 Freunde aus Berlin haben sich den Traum vom Haus am See verwirklicht. In “Sommerhaus, jetzt!” schreibt Oliver Geyer ueber das Abenteuer. Wir praesentieren ein Kapitel aus dem Buch.

Meriç Algün Ringborg. Location: Date: Time:. Göteborgstryckeriet.

Location: Date: Time: by Meriç Algün Ringborg

“Location: Date: Time: is both a two-part reflection and demonstration of disappearance in both personal and cultural terms. The first portion contains an essay that illustrates contemporary and historic assumptions of space and time. Rather than trying to articulate the very meaning of lacking substance, Ringborg writes the idea of disappearance through its converse–documentation, power, place and surveillance. The second portion contains a series of fragments taken from different unnamed sources that both describe and demonstrate erasure in all its moods, ranging from the humorous to the poignant.”

The Ramallah Lecture – Jakob Jakobsen – Nebula

Posted in distribution, history, politics, travel, writing on July 4th, 2011

The Ramallah Lecture – Jakob Jakobsen – Nebula

This book is based on a blog written by the visual artist and political activist Jakob Jakobsen during a six-week stay in Ramallah and the West Bank.

“In the summer of 2008 I visited Palestine. ArtSchool Palestine had invited me over for the purpose of meeting and working with local artists and other people in the occupied territories. As the theme of my visit was relatively open, my Palestinian host explained that my stay here could be understood as a type of artistic research. That suited me fine as I had worked with activist investigations and artistic research in The Copenhagen Free University for almost six years.

I’ve followed the situation in Palestine for many years and the Palestinian cause has persistently challenged my political sense of justice. Since September 11th 2001 the conflict has been spun more and more into the War against Terror and life for the Palestinians appears to have become even more troublesome. But what do you really know as an outsider and a media consumer in the West? In terms of the struggles over territory that go on in and around this small piece of land some call Palestine, what actually shapes the scenery that is produced in the public sphere? My stay in Palestine was an opportunity to get closer to the everyday conditions in the occupied territories, although I was constantly asking myself about my own role as an artist and a political person in this situation of conflict.” – From the introduction of ‘The Ramallah Lecture’

Jakob Jakobsen is an artist, organizer and activist. He ran the Copenhagen Free University, co-founded the artist run TV-station tvtv and has participated in exhibitions and projects all over the world. He has been visiting and working in Palestine at several occasions.
