frieze d/e issue 19 out now
On the frieze d/e blog: Weekly reviews of
must-see shows across Germany, Austria and Switzerland
The May issue of frieze d/e is out now, featuring Hito Steyerl, Walter Pfeiffer, Haegue Yang, Stefan Kern, Raphael Hefti and the “Post-Human Animal.”
No Resolution: Hito Steyerl
“Our machines are made of pure sunlight.” With work currently on show at the German Pavilion for the 56th Venice Biennale, Bert Rebhandl talks to the Berlin-based artist about playful and pointed interventions in digital worlds.
Full Exposure: Walter Pfeiffer
Associate editor Jan Kedves visits the legendary Swiss photographer—whose erotic work from the 1970s has earned him cult status, from Zürich to New York—and surveys his 40-year career spanning art and fashion.
The Post-Human Animal
From Joseph Beuys’s dead hare to Pierre Huyghe’s masked monkey, writer Ana Teixeira Pinto asks what’s behind the proliferation of animals in artworks—and what does this mean for us humans?
Also featuring:
Kito Nedo unpicks the shape-shifting work of Berlin-based artist Haegue Yang; Quinn Latimer discovers hot metals and cool minimalism in the work of Raphael Hefti; and from the socially minded to the slyly fashionable, Andreas Schlaegel looks at the two sides of sculptor Stefan Kern.
Elsewhere in the issue:
Aquariums: Jörg Scheller traces the long history of aquariums in art.
Theatre: Manfred Hermes watches theatre director René Pollesch and musician Dirk von Lowtzow’s concept-opera at the Volksbühne in Berlin.
Logistics: Choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and curator Elena Filipovic explain the challenges of producing a dance piece for the exhibition Work/Travail/Arbeid, currently on show at WIELS, Brussels.
Das Ding: For our regular column, Thomas Bayrle shares the object Tomás Saraceno brought him all the way from Buenos Aires.
Reviews: 19 of the most interesting shows from across Germany, Austria, Switzerland and elsewhere—including Rosemarie Trockel at Kunsthaus Bregenz, Mark Leckey at Haus der Kunst, Munich and The Future of Memory at Kunsthalle Wien.
