artistic deceptions

During almost two years, dozens of people in Bologna, Milano, Ljubljana, Roma and Venezia have staged ‘one of the biggest artistic deceptions in recent years’. A performance that elevated media manipulation to the status of art, and that transformed the most radical mythopoeia in one of its highest forms. If we didn’t kill him – declares Franco Birkut spokesman of 0100101110101101.ORG – and later revealed the prank, Darko Maver would have gone on living and making people speak about him through exhibitions, articles, documentaries and catalogues, nobody would have stopped us in continuing our narration, because this story is just too good to be false.

a formula for the 21st century curator

italiano

l’arte si è trasformata ed amalgamata nel mondo, come procederà con i nuovi media quotidiani, internet, cellulari, continua connessione?

Il mercato ha reso l’arte sempre più un bene di consumo (lusso?), qual è la formula più interessante per una grande distribuzione?

Oggi che tutto è stato affrontato, detto, scritto, si può ancora creare o si opera soprattutto in modo trasformativo?

Make a formula for the 21st century curator

Hans Ulrich Obrist has spent 15 years commissioning formulae from  some of the biggest names in fields as diverse as mathematics and  sociology, including Richard Dawkins, Damien Hirst and Yoko Ono. His
brief was: “Make a formula for the 21st Century”.

In the pursuit of the superstar curator I am following Hans Ulrich  Obrist´s `Formulas for Now´ along with his desire to formulate the  seemingly unformulatable and asking curators from all over the world
to “Make a formula for the 21st century curator”.
