cura.magazine issue #08 comes out in April with a specific project cover by Haris Epaminonda, and it contains: Ulrich Loock‘s main focus on Gregor Schneider’s recent works, ten years after his participation at the Venice Biennale in 2001, Marianne Zamecznik‘s considerations on the conceptual guidelines of the exhibition design of Momentum Biennial, Raimar Stange‘s article about freedom of speech, Lorenzo Benedetti‘s contribution about the historical figure of Willem Sandberg, Peter Amdam‘s interview with the Oslo-based artist Per Oskar Leu for the spotlight section. Moreover the regular readers will find some familiar columns—such as Dobrila Denegri on Fashion curating, Costanza Paissan’s text about art and cuisine, and Riccardo Previdi’s ‘Android’—and the artists projects on paper by the emerging Italian artists Salvatore Arancio, Alessandro Piangiamore and Federico Pepe.
cura.magazine is a quarterly which delves into the connections between art practice and contemporary creativity thanks to the critical participation of a network of international curators. It is a platform for discussion and research on the current art production through in-depth contributions, interviews, and exchanges with the key actors of the international art scene.
cura.magazine issue #8 will be launched at Art Brussels 2011.
Next appointments in agenda:
@ cura.project room, the exhibition space at the cura.magazine editorial office and publishing house
May 3–June 30, Manfredi Beninati’s Untitled 2011, a site-specific installation reforming the size and perception of cura.’space. From a single, imposed, hidden point of view, the eye of the viewer enters a visual room made according to pictorial criteria, as a scene of an interrupted action, or as a film frame seemingly separate in time, where though time and randomness interact unpredictably on the development of the narration.
May 3–30 cura.temporary bookshop with an astonishing, international selection of contemporary art and culture publications and artist prints.
May 4–8, THERE ARE NO RUINS HERE, a film program curated by Mirene Arsanios, curator of the 98weeks nonprofit space of Beirut.
“THERE ARE NO RUINS HERE is a film and video program that looks at the way interiors—living rooms, hotel rooms, and family houses—were affected, in more or less tangible ways, by the Lebanese civil wars and their aftermath”.
