A note about the words in the book - where they come from and what has happened to them:

Eine subjektive Annäherung an die Flüsse Mississippi und Donau, durch das Prisma der Literaturgenres Science-Fiction, Fantasy und Horror. Das Buch wurde von Süßwasserökologin & bildende Künstlerin, Christina Gruber (AT) und Seefahrerin & Animationsfilmerin, Paula Cohen (FR) gefertigt und geschrieben. Von Amstetten in Österreich bis an den Strand Sulinas in Rumänien versucht From Mud To Outer Space herauszufinden, was die Identität eines Flusses ausmacht. Dafür werden die Bibliotheken an den Flussufern, die Musik die entlang ihres Weges verläuft und die Leute die sie auf ihrer Reise treffen zu den wichtigsten Indikatoren.

His pioneering installations have repeatedly challenged traditional artistic categories - be it performance, painting, video or installation - as well as negotiating the role of the artist himself. In crossing boundaries, Neuman embarks consistently on new avenues, questioning ossified societal and social positions and our perception. As such he inspires generations of artists and people engaged in the cultural sector.

If one looks at the contemporary continental European art scene, blues, jazz, hip hop, drum & dass and dubstep, genres of music that one could label as 'black sound', are almost absent.

Ahmet Ögüt, one of Turkey’s influential young artists, brings the diversity of specific local determinations, which appear to take place in a particular temporal and spatial relationship, to his work. Ögüt’s art, and its patent subjectivism, is anchored in the significant role that the media plays in constructing and manipulating reality. As result, he uses the images of events that appear in the daily digestive methodologies such as newspapers and television, recapturing those images in a totally different frame.

«Das Glas ist ein Höhepunkt der Abstraktion wenn man annimmt, dass die Farbe die Leinwand wie eine Haut überzieht. Beim Glas ist das Glas − bildlich gesprochen − sowohl Leinwand, das heisst Objektträger, als auch die Haut, also das was sie überzieht oder bedeckt. Da es nichts zu bedecken gibt, wird die Oberfläche zum Inhalt, beides in EINEM.» Tony Frey (Quelle: www.periferia.ch)

New York Conversations is a text film. Shot in a Chinatown storefront converted for this occasion into an improvised kitchen/restaurant, the film documents three days of public conversations between artists, critics, curators, and a free floating public. The talks, lunches, and dinners were organized by Rirkrit Tiravanija, Nico Dockx, and Anton Vidokle in response to an invitation by Brussels-based art journal A Prior to be the subject of their new issue. Instead of commissioning essays or producing artwork to be printed in the journal, the artists decided to rethink the structure by which an art publication is produced and to attempt to do this discursively in a public setting.
