Bob Ross is alive!

24 hours in Hamburg. And Luckily I caught the last installment of KOPIEREN UND VERFAELSCHEN,(COPY AND FALSIFY)
a series on copy culture in the FRISE Kunsthaus Hamburg. This week's highlight:
Joern Zehe initiated a Bob Ross painting workshop, Ross, the ghost spoke to us with his sonoric voice via YouTube, five serious painters took his speedy landscape painting workshop. Real canvases, real oil paint. Real mountains. Stunning!

Comeback of the beloved green courtyard

Romy Archituv Interview

"Time/out of Joint" shootings finally continued. At least here in Soeul for one wonderful afternoon with Romy Archituv.
Sungshin University had a studio with a prefectly lit blue screen. I never thought I would chroma key something in my life, ever...

Artforumed in China

we got artforumed as Mathieu called it. Strangers caught inside the Chinese glossyglamourgossip. I was always wondering what are the real stories behind those glamour stars photographed on VIP parties - slightly shit-faced with rosy cheeks, yet pretending to be sober and good buddy with the person next to them... Now I know at least that: The majority of the people at the Ullens museum opening most likely have not seen each other let alone introduced to each other. It was a massive 2-day extravanganza, thousands of invited guests. Next to us Henri Benaim, the new gallery director of PKM gallery Beijing. A super-sweetheart that invited us staying in his new flat in Beijing.

Greetings from Venice

Hong Kong, actually...

Death Star Beijing

Rem Koolhaas' CCTV headquarters.. 3/4 completed. Yet, another pic for my twin tower horror collection but all architects among you know too well that these towers are about to grow together. Helping each other out. (Koolhaas' contribution to terrorist-safe architecture?!?) His design never convinced me :-(
