Cooking Sections (Daniel Fernández Pascual & Alon Schwabe) is a London-based duo of spatial practitioners. They explore the systems that organize the world through food. Using installation, performance, and mapping, their research-based practice operates within the overlap among visual arts, architecture, and geopolitics.

Der Begriff des Schönen ist ein fragiles Konstrukt.

Boîte is a biannual magazine packed in a cardboard box. It has a limited circulation of 250 numbered copies.

When I was traveling throughout Germany, I met a lot of German people whose ancestors had emigrated to the Baltic or Caucasus region. And so, I become interested in the roots of German culture and how it has spread to other countries. Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, was the center that connected European, Russian, Middle Eastern and Asian cultures. In fact I have personally found a lot of traces and evidence of these cultures in Georgia.

The thirty-seventh issue of Parkett gives cause for celebration: With Charles Ray and Franz West, fifty artists have taken up the challenge of committing themselves to a collaboration with our magazine.

This issue of PARKETT evokes the merger of art and life, not as it was propagated in the late sixties, but as an entity freed from the conspicuous involvement of the artist’s person. Nor is the artist free as a bird, à la Yves Klein’s leap into the void.

The “demand for anthropological re-formulation”—de¬scribed by Michelle Nicol in her essay on Carsten Höller as an important feature of the nineties—also surfaces in Robert Smithson’s slide presentation on HOTEL PALENQUE, given over twenty years ago.

We are looking forward to the future because the changes—only three issues a year, but more voluminous and with a sewn binding, instead of the previous four in an adhesive binding—offer a challenging opportunity to expand the playing potential of our instrument, Parkett.

Rigor of Form Six years ago Parkett published an issue featuring a collaboration with Richard Artschwager (No. 23, March 1990). At the time, rather than having essays commissioned on his work, the artist suggested asking authors from beyond the field of art to write on the subject of “Art and Reason.”

Spooky Realism The remarkably lifelike, unmistakable reality advanced by the art in this issue of PARKETT is deceptive. One finds oneself repeatedly ensnared by the seductive call of recognition, only to end up making the fatal leap into the void.

Selected Realities. In a recent photograph, Douglas Gordon appears wearing a poorly fitting blonde woman’s wig. This set piece allows him to try on several identities in the imaginary mirror of popular culture:

In Broad Daylight We have chosen to celebrate our fiftieth volume in the most natural of festive illuminations, in “broad daylight,” fully aware that these words are associated today with an undercurrent of disturbing implications.

GRIDS AND SPRING TIDES. The network or the grid, which had already served Dürer, plays a declared role in Malcolm Morley’s paintings.
