• The hypermediate strategy of Sayuri Michima

  The story of Parrhasius and Zeuxis written by Pliny the Elder in the first century AD expresses the most universal attitude towards art among the ancient Greeks and Romans. It’s about a painter called Zeuxis and his contemporary Parrhasius, who stage a contest to determine the greater artist. When Zeuxis unveils his painting of grapes, they appear so real birds fly down to peck at them.

Parrhasius wins, and Zeuxis admits that although he has deceived the birds, Parrhasius has deceived him.

• Den annars släta tillvaron

• Bacon and the collapse of the borderline between the joke and the sublime

  Prague, 1990. It is the summer after the Berlin wall came down. I’m having breakfast at Hotel Jalta – a communist style luxurious establishment. Eggs, bacon, jam and toast.

  Some exhibitions are born out of difficulty, and to pay tribute to Japan did serve a noble purpose.

• om Rivane Neuenschwander

  Neuenschwander har låtit anonyma människor skapa ett verk. Det består av små figurer tillverkade av servetter och vinkorkar, gamla tomma cigarettpaket formade till små kläder, spindlar av gamla sugrör.
