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. But what should take place within these new premises?

There is plenty of bad architecture all over the place. Stupid, wrong architecture. Architecture that failed, and failed miserably. Architecture that is full of mistakes. (English)

SAN ROCCO is a magazine about architecture.

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.

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

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.

Chartered as it has been that the work of Jonathan Monk reaches into the past, looking in particular at the strategies of artists synonymous with the birth of conceptual art, adopting the language of conceptualism and infusing it with references he makes to his own personal history [...]

Minimal Art seemed harmless: just a few hard-edged, greyish pieces of metal laid on the ground, some bricks aligned a certain way, heaps of logs. Minimal Art looked unnecessarily stubborn and a bit stupid, but nobody would ever have thought it could do any harm.

End of Collecting! Mit dieser Situation ist irgendwann jeder Sammler, jeder Künstler konfrontiert. Es reift die Erkenntnis, dass jetzt langsam »Schluss« ist, dass die Anzahl der erworbenen resp. erschaffenen Kunstgüter nicht mehr weiter anwachsen sollen.

This is a phosphorescently brilliant exploration of the birth and life of video. In the times when electronic media meant the flow of televisual signals, video became a uniquely glimmering force of idiosyncratic memory and the ordination of time.
