"State Minister Silke Lautenschläger promises fascinating perspectives on contemporary art by the appointment of Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, who has studied both literature and the history of art.

其實tobias應該引來的不是ackerman,而是siekmann.

我給21世紀的documenta插圖照,幾乎都是siekmann的那裝置,看落是否和居大的畫有幾分近?不過據知siekmann的畫都是電腦搞掂output而非畫的.

因為編輯約稿,就為<<廿一世紀>>寫了篇談Documenta的文章,還一發不可拾,超了字數,可能再有下文.其實我自沒有投稿他們起也好久沒看<<廿一世紀>>,大概是見到過些唔想為伴同列的作者起.
這次拿到手瞄瞄,連人文天地比較非專科的文章也似看不下,論盜版的文章主要是針對彭麗君的文章,但兩者都太多理論,沒有賈章柯那講獨立電影的文章般才情並茂.大眾文化批評一文,更是很像很out的討論,回到的批判基礎也有點得人驚,希望我對藝術商業的批評,最後不會也是讀來如此,講精神性,超越性對抗物質世俗云云.

Luke's latest idea (better not disclose for the moment, however) reminds me of this incident which I only came to notice in recent month.
