Fucking Good Art : the interviews

  • Categories: Art

Rotterdam was het centrum van de kunstwereld, met internationale coryfeeën als Chris Dercon, Catherine David en nationale als Wilma Sütö en Arno van Roosmalen, maar opeens waren ze allemaal weg, gedeeltelijk vervangen door Sjarel Ex en Hans Maarten van den Brink. Vijftien jaar werden er interessante tentoonstellingen georganiseerd en buitenlandse tentoonstellingsmakers ingevlogen. Wat ging er verkeerd? Wil de lokale politiek geen moeilijke kunst, maar publieksevenementen? Interviews met de Rotterdamse betrokkenen.

Ven a este tribunal y llora

Hace unos años, Linda Kinstler se enteró de que un hombre que llevaba décadas muerto —un nazi que había pertenecido al mismo comando asesino que su abuelo— era objeto de una investigación judicial en Letonia. Se trataba de Herberts Cukurs, el «carnicero de Riga», un célebre aviador que, tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, huyó a Brasil hasta que el Mosad lo asesinó en 1965. Debido a la desidia de la fiscalía y al blanqueamiento de la biografía de Cukurs en nombre del orgullo patrio, existía el riesgo de que el proceso desembocara en su absolución. Como sucedía en otros lugares de Europa, algunos hechos incontestables y arduamente probados del Holocausto eran puestos en tela de...

Changing Roles

  • Categories: Art

"How are you involved in the art world? Are you related to any art scene? What would be the most productive place to present your work? What kind of curators do you like to work with and why? What does the art market mean for your work? In your opinion, what are centers for contemporary art for? What would you like to see them presenting?" "These are seven simple and open questions on different aspects of today's art world that were asked to every artist involved in Witte de With's program in 2006 and 2007. The resulting publication reflects on some of the topics touched upon in the program of the past two years - for example, in group shows such as Street: behind the cliche - looking at the best place for art, the role of the art institution and its curators, and the influence of "populist" forces on different forms of art production. The answers included here serve as time-documents, providing a "tour d'horizon" of artists' opinions, concerns and ambitions today, setting out a blueprint for the future role of the art institution and of its related actors (the artist, curator, critic, gallerist)."--BOOK JACKET.

In 1965, five years after the capture of Adolf Eichmann in Buenos Aires, one of his Mossad abductors was sent back to South America to kill another fugitive Nazi, the so-called “butcher of Riga,” Latvian Herberts Cukurs. Cukurs was shot. On his corpse, the assassins left pages from the closing speech of the chief British prosecutor at the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg: “After this ordeal to which mankind has been submitted, mankind itself . . . comes to this Court and cries: ‘These are our laws—let them prevail!’” Years later, the Latvian prosecutor general began investigating the possibility of redeeming Cukurs for his past actions. Researching the case, Linda K...

Front Desk/back Office

  • Categories: Art

"Subversive" may be the best description for this little volume pointing out that commercial art galleries are schizophrenic; they explicitly present things with an intellectual and aesthetic value, while on the other hand the experience most definitely has a price tag attached. Rob Hamelijnck presents a selection of photographs he took - mostly without permission - of the pristine front desks and messy back rooms of galleries around the world, and reveals the hidden side of the art machine. Essays by French architect Thibaut de Ruyter and Dutch sociologist Olav Velthuis address provocative questions such as, "Why do all galleries have the same mid-century chairs?" and "Why doesn't the high-heeled young woman at the door ever say hello?" The book is the second of the limited editions produced in the Fucking Good Art series.
