Cosimo Veneziano BIOMEGA Multiverso

How aware are we of our own addiction to imagery?
How much does contemporary visual culture influences our way of looking at the world, and therefore our way of living? For some time we have discussed societies of control and their scope for defining what we eat, what we watch, what we wear, how we move, and even how we think, but are we sure we recognize the tools they use to do so? What role do agriculture and nutrition play in all this?
Through the gaze of the artist Cosimo Veneziano and in dialogue with voices from a wide range of disciplinary contexts, Biomega sketches a potential map of the debate around themes of unquestionable current interest.

Where Ivy Cracks The Wall

Cette première monographie trilingue de l'artiste française met en lumière l'idée du film-monument qui sous-tend ses dernières réalisations filmiques et vidéo. L'ouvrage restitue l'esprit de son travail en parcourant quatre œuvres récentes, qui sont autant de variations sur la question de la mémoire et de sa représentation cinématographique. Les contributions inédites de six auteurs apportent une lecture approfondie des films et constituent une introduction au travail de Maya Schweizer.

TEXTE ZUR KUNST

Issue No. 110, June 2018 „Performance Evaluation“

In the 18 years since Texte zur Kunst first turned its attention to the field of performance, a lot has happened, to say the least. Today, performance refers to almost any act, willing or forced, and is used by the institutions the world over whose aim is often to solicit performative acts from consumers, whether they are an audience at an art event or a user of social media. With performance today comes the inevitable system of evaluation—likes, ratings, grades, followers, etc.—a fact that has made separating performance as an art, and its popularity, from the overpowering influence of the culture of evaluation. For this issue of Texte zur Kunst, "Performance Evaluation," we investigate the overlapping definitions of performance, following their ubiquity and uses in particular, in order to evaluate what performance means today, and what we mean when we call something a "performance."

Heft 2/2018

Original versus copy today? Who is still really concerned about that in the light of a culture in which copying and (sometimes unthinking) reproduction of sources have almost become standard practice? A culture in which automatically reproducing and spreading any initial material at all has in a certain sense become a fundamental state of affairs. In any event, the now irreversible technological basis for this causes difficulties for culture industry firms. Alongside this, a nexus of problems that cannot readily be shaken off is emerging in widespread instances of plagiarism and indeed illegal copying. But is the art of the present genuinely profoundly affected by all of this? Decades after the advent of Postmodern discourse and Appropriation Art, is it still possible to talk meaningfully and insightfully about authenticity and reproduction... »
