Happy 2024!

"The capital has a new street newspaper sold by homeless people: the "Neue Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung" makes no concessions to the codes of the mainstream Mitte."

Die Hauptstadt hat eine neue von Obdachlosen verkaufte Straßenzeitung: Die „Neue Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung“ macht keine Konzession an die Codes der gesellschaftlichen Mitte.

THE 57 MOST INFLUENTIAL ALBUM COVERS „A critic once conceded that writing about music is like dancing about architecture. They had a point. Painting or drawing about music, however, is another subject all together. Album cover artwork is a case in point, often helping to encapsulate the emotional direction of an entire album. Sound and vision come together in our list of 57 of the greatest album covers . . . “ (by James Lee-Tullis + Anissa Tijani)

printed just in time for the finissage of Francesco Lauretta 's "Festival" exhibition at the MAC in Lissone

04/04/2022

discover the amazing art of Francesco Lauretta, we've been intensively collaborating together in the creation of his book "Festival" >>>

from Studio visit, by Angel Moya Garcia: "A studio invaded by brushes, paints, books and CDs of all kinds overlooks a terrace in the Novoli district of Florence. Paintings hanging on the walls, the smell of fresh paint and ci**rs, together with the sound of cats' footsteps and the surrounding traffic invite us to enter Francesco Lauretta's everyday universe. The multifaceted artist of Sicilian origin is back from the Festival exhibition at MAC in Lissone curated by Francesca Guerisoli. This is the first anthological exhibition dedicated to him, which unfolds through an itinerary centred almost exclusively on the language of painting and which revolves around some of the recurring elements of his research, such as festivals and folk festivals, folklore and rituals, music and writing."

The example of Kazakhstan shows why Ukraine is so rightly resisting Russian usurpation tooth and nail.
Only a month ago – a lot of water has gone down the Spree and a lot of blood down the Dnepr since then – there were huge anti-corruption protests in Ulan Bator and thousands have been arrested since.

We are proud to work for the exceptional Kazakh artist Gulnur Mukazhanova. The documentary "Twist" that features some of Gulnur's recent activities in Berlin, can still be found in the arte Mediathek.

M_Dokumente is
W I R E book of the month 🌺⭐️🔥🧡
”… The first thing you notice as you leaf through M_Dokumente is its visuals. The photos are immaculately styled, even as the participants shapeshift from frame to frame: onto minute gothic urchins, the next Weimar-era ice queens, or post punk fashionistas. The flyers for their shows could hang in a gallery, gorgeous cut and paste collages that draw on the influence of 20th century art movements past: dada, Futurism and Russian constructivism. …“ (Louis Pattison/Wire Magazine, Issue 454, December 2021)
