BIG ART mag newsletter: For the Love of Jahwe – Damien Hirst


Damien Hirst, 40, arbeitet am wohl teuersten Kunstwerk aller Zeiten. 
Der für seinen in Formaldehyd eingelegten Hai bekannte britische 
Künstler fertigt gerade in Zusammenarbeit mit einem Londoner Juwelier 
ein mit Diamanten besetztes Modell des Konzentrationslagers 
Auschwitz-Birkenau an. Die Herstellung des Werkes wird zwischen 8 und 
10 Millionen Pfund kosten, denn er benötigt etwa 8.500 der kostbaren 
Edelsteine. Der teuerste Stein ist ein 50-karätiger Diamant, der auf 
dem Torbogen mit der berühmt-berüchtigten Aufschrift "Arbeit macht 
frei" angebracht und mindestens 3 Millionen Pfund kosten wird. Hirst 
möchte mit der "For the Love of Jahwe” betitelten Arbeit "dem Tod 
Paroli bieten." Sie soll im Zentrum einer Hirst-Schau in seiner Galerie 
Pink Cube stehen, mit der diese im Juni 2007 ihre neuen Räumlichkeiten 
eröffnen wird. Die Galerie schweigt sich darüber aus, ob das Werk eine 
Auftragsarbeit ist, oder zum Verkauf steht.

Das gleichzeitig verwunderte und sezierende Anschauen – das Staunen und 
das Einschneiden, sowie das Zurückformen der ästhetischen Erscheinungen 
auf ihre Existenz aus Materie – führt bei Damien Hirst zu einem – nur 
bei ihm in dieser Form ausgeprägten – mechanisierten visualized noize 
extra. Zu einer Kunst der konkreten Bezüge, aber mit Immanenz. Diese 
liefert die Konkretheit. Es ist also unsere Geschichte, die hier als 
konkretes Objekt Kunst abgibt. Das klassisch gewordene Instrumentarium 
unserer in die (Post-) Gegenwart verlängerten Kulturgeschichte, die 
durch Damien Hirsts Brechungsarbeit eine der wenigen wirklichen 
Legitimationen erhält, heute noch derart ungebrochen anwesend sein zu 
können.

East Art Map book launch at Philadelphia


From: miran mohar <miran.mohar@...>
Subject: East Art Map book launch at Philadelphia

3 June-2006 (Saturday); 6.00 to 9.00 PM

Basekamp space
723 chestnut st, 2nd floor
philadelphia, pa 19106 usa
www.basekamp.com

Presentation of East Art Map, by Miran Mohar of 
IRWIN - a group of five artists who make up the 
visual-arts component of the Slovenian art 
collective NSK, based in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

BASEKAMP is a non commercial studio and 
exhibition space whose primary focus is to 
participate in the creation, facilitation and 
promotion of large scale collaborative projects 
by contemporary artists. Philadelphia is an 
example of a city whose visual art-world is 
currently in the process of self-definition. We 
have seen this as an opportunity to use the city 
as a home base to invite domestic and 
international collaborative groups in a joint 
experiment to develop new models of relations 
within overlapping art communities.

In 2006 The "Art + Communication" festival, organised by the RIXC in
Riga, celebrates its 10th anniversary and the 8th edition. For the
first time the festival is conceived as a large-scale exhibition --
WAVES -- that looks at electromagnetic waves as the principle material
- the medium - of media art.

The exhibition brings together about 40 international works of (media)
art, in which electromagnetic waves are seen not just as carriers of
information, but as the material and/or theme of the artwork.

Turbulence Commission: "mobotag" by Marta Lwin

June 1, 2006
Turbulence Commission: "mobotag" by Marta Lwin
http://turbulence.org/Works/mobotag

"mobotag" reveals the hidden layers of a city through an active exchange of
location based media and text messages via the cellphone. It's collaborative
phone tagging of the city. Part virtual graffiti, part walking tour,
"mobotag" creates a spontaneous and easy way for tagging a neighborhood via
the cellphone. Send and view messages, images, videos and sounds. See art,
read stories, and watch a hidden layer of the city reveal itself. Respond
with your media and participate in the creative expression and mapping of
your neighborhood. By sending a text message to "mobotag", with your city
location, you begin an interactive tour of a neighborhood. Using a unique
geocoding feature, "mobotag" tells you what other messages exist in your
local area. In the near future "mobotag" will also feature art projects
including "flyHere," a mobile phone audio installation featuring native bird
calls; "bugBytes," collectible graphical bugs originating at major telecoms
around NYC; and "lookHere," a written work in short form by a native NY
writer.

"mobotag" is a 2006 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. (aka
Ether-Ore) for its Turbulence web site. It was made possible with funding
from the Jerome Foundation.

BIOGRAPHY

her masters at the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU. Her
background is both in art and activism. In the early to late 90's she worked
