May/June: The "German Issue"
Ich bin ein Berliner - is something more and more contemporary artists
can
claim these days-and it's not just because of the affordable and
plentiful
studio space. It's been over a decade since reunification, and social,
political, and infrastructure changes have created unique opportunities
for artists to build new contexts and communities, with Berlin emerging
as
a major center for contemporary art production. Both centrally located
within Europe and positioned between East and West, Germany offers a
logical geographical hub for artists to live and work while
participating
in an increasingly globalized art world. Germany will also host two of
the
most important contemporary art events of summer 2002, Documenta 11 in
and
Manifesta 4 in Frankfurt.
In this issue, Flash Art brings you "Focus Germany," which includes
profiles of over 50 artists living and working in Germany, interviews
with
painter Kai Althoff, and Henrik Olesen and Kirsten Pieroth; a fashion
spread by Swetlana Heger, whose work further blurs the line between
corporate branding and artistic signature; feature articles exploring
themes such as nationhood and national identity ("Cultural Territories"
by
Barbara Steiner), and the decline of East German cities and the
development of new urban models ("City of Open Spaces" by Kai
Vöckler).
Also in this issue: reports from the Whitney Biennial in New York and
Gwangju Biennale in South Korea, and the São Paulo Bieñal; Aperto
Helsinki; New York Cut up by Massimiliano Gioni; Eungie Joo looks at
"the
new folk" movement in the San Francisco Bay Area; Johannes Kahrs in
"Global Art;" Tino Sehgal in "Ouverture;" and reviews, including Cecily
Brown, Huang Yong Ping, Tracy Nakayama, David Shrigley, Won Ju Lim,
Stefanie Schneider, Maria Hahnenkamp, Koenraad Dedobbeleer, Marianne
Heske, and Tracy Rose.
