I discovered this yesterday evening and got seriously excited, partly because it’s about topology and an ecological approach to space perception which is the theoretical basis of my dissertation, and partly because Peter Weibel will be there whose works really intrigued me when I was 16-17, and I’m still interested in what he has to say…
So I’m spending my money on a trip to London instead of getting other useless shit. Can’t wait!

Just got this in the mail.
If Larry’s on the Franco bandwagon…
I kind of fucking hate living far away from almost everything interesting. Gus Van Sant and James Franco! And look at Rio’s face there, yeahhh. If only I could see this :(

I came across one of her works (The Bronx) this summer in a museum and she has some very interesting projects. She’s a conceptual artist among others, read this not recent interview with her if you like installations and such. :)

Streets and people
In the shower an exhibition I’d seen this summer came to my mind. This one - http://www.kunsthallewien.at/cgi-bin/event/event.pl?id=3726&lang=en - From Basquiat To Séripop, an exhibition about bringing art to the streets, or bringing the streets into art. There was a particular installation I remembered tonight but I can’t recall the name of the woman who made it (this happened in the eighties).
She went up to strangers in a gallery in Brooklyn and asked each of them to take her to their favourite places in the neighbourhood and so they did and they also told the artist the story of these places and how they were important in their lives. Then she took a photo of the people and the installation was made up of the photos and the summaries of the meetings. It was really interesting to see all those pieces of lives told in pictures and words. I kept counting how old the subjects could be now, in 2010, as the artist included their dates of birth. Most of them were young at the time, but they’re now in their fifties-sixties. I wonder if they’ve ever seen themselves exhibited in a gallery…
