Presentation in a casual conversation with Hanan Toukan
“Kiosk with art” is a project dedicated to Weglin district in Lublin (Poland) – an attempt to get into the space that had been deprived of regular contact with art. The whole event is centered around building of a kiosk that stands at the front of Weglin Cultural Centre. We present artists, whose work cross the disciplines, often mixed with science, music, or theater. We want to build a complex picture of contemporary art, showing its different faces.
Kiosk is also publishing space, that focus on phenomenon of artbooks. On 5’th of October, together with Motto from Berlin, we open Kiosk with artbooks, where we present books, zines, magazines and items related to selfpublishing. In addition, at the show one will also find Lublin publishers with NN Theatre and DDK “Weglin”, Hungarian with Roham, and Morava books from Poznan. We will also host founders of Printcontrol – the organization promoting best printed matter from Poland.
Curator: Ludomir Franczak
Organizer: Weglin Cultural Centre – Węglin Gallery
The project supported by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of Poland
The Kiosk runs until November 8, 2012

Object Lessons. Joe Scanlan. Dexter Sinister / Mu. Zee.
Two Objects
Two objects that may or may not go together.
Two objects that are distinct, but related.
Two objects roaming the earth in search of each other, like mythic lovers navigating the global network of book distribution, tracking, and sales
Smaller Object
In this volume, artist Joe Scanlan’s magazine columns from the past fifteen years have been gathered as one long, picaresque narrative in which democracy plays the dishonest but amiable lead role, from the Lumière Brothers’ use of their employees in the making of the first film to Tino Sehgal’s use of museum visitors in the production of his art. As Scanlan writes: Once again we regress to the familiar, not on the basis of its merits but because it puts the most people at ease. However vexed we were by modernist ideology, the products resulting from the current consensus-based, consumer-driven service economy are really starting to depress me. I miss having to accept something whether I like it or not, if only for the bits of stunning genius that single-mindedness made possible. Consumer culture, where is thy victory? Product, where is thy sting?
Larger Object
Remember
Which begs the question
It all started 100 years ago when
On the one hand
On the other hand
Of course
Which reminds me
That is why
Speaking of stylists
Meanwhile
That being said
I choose
Once upon a time

Komuna Fundamento. Kuehn Malvezzi. Mousse Publishing.
Esperanto’s failure to become a commonly spoken language is a fact, just as modern architecture has not become part of the mainstream: there are other kinds of lingua franca today. Like Esperanto, architecture intended to constitute a common ground appears instead to be sectarian in the midst of contemporary pluralism. Responding to David Chipperfield’s call for an exhibition of Common Ground at the 13th Venice Biennale of Architecture, Kuehn Malvezzi built two interventions using grey stack-bond brickwork, at the entrance and in the Sala Chini of the Palazzo delle Esposizioni, the central pavilion at the Giardini. The Berlin-based practice created two thresholds, two specific spaces that encourage people to meet and linger, to sit down and watch. Komuna Fundamento embraces the relationship between the architectural object and its physical construction.
Including contributions by Candida Höfer and Armin Linke – two artists who approach architecture from opposite directions, while both working in and with space – architecture is considered by Kuehn Malvezzi as part of a curatorial action in space that is neither foreground nor background, but a transformative medium of the in-between. Very much like the installation, the book follows the logic of translation, putting contrasting imagery from various other places into a relationship.

It was big enough to get me completely inside. Rosie Heinrich. Dutch Art Institute/ArtEZ.
It was big enough to get me completely inside
Recorded voices recount the nature and dangers of human desire, crisis and transcendence with abandon.
The publication is a sound piece. It is a construction of interwoven interview fragments that form both coherent narrative and dissonance. The narrative oscillates between the seemingly fictive and real testimonies of three people transcending their perceived reality.
The work considers the construction of one’s own being, reality and narration.
