Four cities, four shows

2)Adam Curtis at e-flux in New York


3) Keller/Kosmas (Aids-3D) at Kraupa-Tuskany in Berlin


4)Teenage Hallucination curated by Dennis Cooper and Gisele Vienne at Centre Pompidou in Paris

Keep and eye open from the explosion of editorial from me in the coming places: In the beautifully redesigned Dazed I've got a feature and interview with Thomas Ruff, interview with Santiago Sierra, piece on Dennis Cooper, and profile on Hannah Perry. There's also a huge 3000 word piece in the forthcoming Its Nice That, a column on the the rise of acid house smiley faces in contemporary art for House, and an exciting interview with someone I'm waiting to announce in Sleek...

One Question Interview

Rafael Rozendaal included me in his project One Question Interview.
I met Rafael in Tokyo last January and we went for dinner in a crazy high rise restaurant in Shinjuku with a bunch of people including a Flash evangelist (someone's actual job title...)

I'm in some rather lovely company in the project - Cory Arcangel (who's Barbican Curve show opens Feb 9), Oliver Laric, and Aids-3D.

Athens and Bourdeaux

If I lived an even more stupid life and could jump on a plane to Athens I'd so go see this amazing group show with AIDS 3D, Vvork et al.

Or jump over to Bordeaux to see Jim Shaw at CAPC Musée d'Art Contemporain

Left Behind
May 7 - September 19, 2010. Vernissage and musical performance: May 7 at 9 pm. CAPC Musée d'Art Contemporain, Bordeaux, Entrepôt Lainé, 7 Rue Ferrère, F-33000 Bordeaux

Matthew Monahan, AIDS 3D

I know I'm in Berlin again because I'm spending too much money on books at Koenig. This time I got Matthew Monahan - Five Years, Ten Year, Maybe Never - a stunningly designed three part book from MOCA. I interviewed Monahan in the past for Dazed to coincide with his Stuart Shave show. His sculptures and drawings look extra amazing in this book. The first part is a series of black and white photographs like the pages of an old archaeological text book. Sadly no scanner with me so you'll have buy to see what i mean...

And if you're in Berlin tomorrow night Nik Kosmas and Daniel Keller aka AIDS 3D have a show opening where "merely decorative, self-contained electric fountain, the maternalistic life-force is perverted into what amounts to abject MILF porn"
