Ten Fundamental Questions of Curating. Jens Hoffmann (Ed.). Mousse Publishing.

In Ten Fundamental Questions of Curating ten distinguished contemporary curators—Jessica Morgan, Juan A. Gaitán, Chus Martínez, Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy, Elena Filipovic, Maria Lind, João Ribas, Peter Eleey, Adriano Pedrosa and Dieter Roelstraete—pose and then propose answers to a series of key questions related to curating, art and exhibition making today: What Is a Curator? What Is the Public? What Is Art? What About Collecting? What Is an Exhibition? Why Mediate Art? What To Do with the Contemporary? What About Responsibility? What Is the Process? How About Pleasure?
The book, which began as a series of ten commissioned essays for Mousse magazine written over a period of two years, in 2011 to 2012, contains a text by Jens Hoffmann—Deputy Director and Head of Exhibitions and Public Programs of the Jewish Museum in New York and editor of the publication—and Milovan Farronato, Director of the Fiorucci Art Trust.
Ten Fundamental Questions of Curating is a project published by Mousse in collaboration with the Fiorucci Art Trust.

De ou par Marcel Duchamp par Ulf Linde. Jan Åman and Daniel Birnbaum (eds.). Sternberg Press.

In 1961, Ulf Linde produced the first authorized copy of Marcel Duchamp’s monumental piece, The Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors, Even (1915–23), and Linde is without doubt one of the world’s most important interpreters of Marcel Duchamp’s art. For more than half a century, he has pursued intense studies of Duchamp’s entire oeuvre and has made perfect replicas of all his major works. Like no one else, he knows the works in minute detail.
Linde’s replicas and his early texts on Duchamp were essential to the international reception of the artist’s work and played a key role in such major exhibitions as Walter Hopps’s 1963 Duchamp retrospective at the Pasadena Art Museum, and the Centre Pompidou’s opening exhibition in 1977. Linde, who is still as active as ever, is the author of numerous books and essays on Duchamp. His as-yet unpublished manuscript scrutinizing the mathematical principles behind Duchamp’s art reveals what Linde claims to be the key to Marcel Duchamp’s poetic universe.

Produced by Academie Anartiste as an extension of the eponymous exhibition organized by the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts and Moderna Museet in 2011.

Flaneur #1: Kantstrasse, Berlin

Posted in magazines on June 14th, 2013

Flaneur #1: Kantstrasse, Berlin

Flaneur Magazine presents one street per issue. The magazine presents its complexity, dynamic and fragmented nature and layers with a literary approach. It creates a meaningful correlation between places, stories, people and objects that aren’t necessarily related. The magazine is aware of its subjectivity. It wants to say »This could be Kantstraße«.
Aesthetically and stylistically Flaneur Magazine relies on inter/multi-disciplinarity. The exchange and collaboration between writers, photographers, illustrators, musicians, designers and architects is a vital conceptual aspect to push the boundaries of what a print magazine is thought to be. A clear framework acts as a pillar to help suspend the various elements of the magazine and to continuously bring the reader back to a fixed point. The reader can participate and immerse himself in the stories told though the magazine does not want to be transparent and predictable. It does not, like a travel guide, dictate its reader rather it wants to enchain its reader the same way a good book does.
