San Rocco is a magazine about architecture. It does not solve problems. It is not a useful magazine. It is neither serious nor friendly.

On the occasion of the exhibition Die fünfte Säule [The fifth column], curated by Moritz Küng, Joëlle Tuerlinckx presents the lecture-performance Les moments d?espace ? lecture for YouTube in 591 panels (version 17.11.11) and the publication Moments d?espace. On 591 PowerPoint pages the artist describes her subjective and partially autobiographical thoughts concerning the paradox of space in the form of ?textimages? in French with English subtitles. While these are projected uncommented, Tuerlinckx improvises a musicalpiece on a first-generation Casio synthesizer.

San Rocco was the product of the collaboration of two young architects. San Rocco did not contribute to the later fame of its two designers. It is neither “standard Grassi” nor “standard Rossi”. (Engl.)

Contemporary art museums are building. In recent decades art museums and public galleries have extensively renovated, rebuilt and added structures to their premises. New museums have been commissioned and erected by private collectors and companies; existing public museums and art institutions have expanded through the opening of new ‘branches’ and franchises.

In der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts war Wien eine Großbaustelle mit bedeutenden architektonischen und politischen Weichenstellungen. Über die Üppigkeit der monarchischen Prunkmonumente hinaus, wurden auch großstädtische Strategien zur Erweiterung in einer für die Zukunft bedeutenden Metropole entwickelt.

1979, Sir Anthony Frederick Blunt ist nicht mehr Sir. Der Grund dafür liegt weit zurück in Cambridge, wo er studierte.

Der erste von ihnen wurde 1951 enttarnt, der zweite ein Jahr später.

If you do dare to mention beauty, then some well-intentioned idiot says “beauty is subjective”, as if this in- disputable truth (given that beauty is, of course, subjective) would implicitly mean that nothing subjective and shared (or universal, or common, or whatever you’d like to call it) could possibly exist; as if subjects could never agree, or could never admit their shared nature and recognize themselves in what, in the end, is nothing more than this: the sudden appearance of something that we all like, something to which we would all like to surrender ourselves (i.e., the sudden appearance of beauty). So, yes: beauty is subjective. But this is no reason to stop worrying about beauty.

In his work, Terence Koh mobilizes seduction, lust and desire. These moments exemplify a strategy that integrates a queer, polymorphously perverse approach into art production. The meaning produced by his objects is tightly interwoven with both private narration and a wide range of subcultural fields of association. Koh frequently employs trivial materials, which are then transformed in the artistic process and transposed into an almost classical aesthetic. Terence Koh generiert in seinen Arbeiten Momente der Versuchung, der Lust und des Begehrens. Sie stehen exemplarisch für die Strategie, queere, polymorph perverse Zugänge in die künstlerische Produktion einfließen zu lassen. Die Signifikanz seiner Objekte ist angebunden an private Narration und ein weites Spektrum subkultureller Assoziationsfelder. Dabei verwendet Koh oft triviale Materialien, die durch seinen transformativen Umgang einer nahezu klassischen Ästhetik wieder eingeschrieben werden.

The fruit of a lengthy research, this book shows for the first time a significant selection of René Heyvaert's mail art. The latter is linked to the Belgian artist’s multiform oeuvre—which retains, given that René Heyvaert (1928–1984) was originally an architect, an overt material and spatial relation to its environment—as well as to his personal life: his gradually deteriorating health, and the loneliness that fed his epistolary vocation.

Ein wesentliches Charakteristikum von Textilien ist ihr Beziehungsreichtum. Ihre Aktualität und Historizität beziehen sie aus Kunst und Kultur- ebenso wie Medien-, Sozial- und Technikgeschichte, sie repräsentieren Traditionen der angewandten und der bildenden Kunst, changieren zwischen Formalismus und Funktionalismus und vermitteln als Objekte und Verfahrensweise zwischen Selbst- und Weltverhältnissen, affekt- und wissensgesteuerten Prozessen der Aneignung. Aufgrund ihrer mehrfachen Funktion – als Gebrauchsgegenstand und abstrakte (Formen-)Sprache – zeigen sich in Textilien – verstanden als Handlungszusammenhang – spezifische Verflechtungen, die seit der Moderne in zunehmendem Maße die Relationen zwischen Subjekt und Objekt, materieller und immaterieller, künstlerischer und handwerklicher Arbeit sowie kulturellen Austauschverhältnissen transformiert haben.
