Kreuzberger Pfütze

August 29th, 2008

Kreuzberg is a borough in Berlin, this piece by Kirsten Pieroth is called “Kreuzberger Pfütze“.

“Kreuzberger Pfütze” is the title of a piece by Pieroth exhibited in the basement of Sparwasser HQ. Pfütze” means puddle; Sparwasser means “spared water.” The title describes the project: Pieroth has moved a puddle from Kreuzberg to Sparwasser HQ, thereby removing the puddle from its original spatial context. The transferred puddle is, in its fluidity, a signifier of endless reshaping.

As Nasty As They Want To Be

August 28th, 2008

‘As Nasty As They Want To Be’ by the 2 Live Crew was one of the first Hip Hop records I’ve ever heard. Yeah, we listened to it because it was dirty. Carla Edwards used the iconic cover to make this video called ‘Debauched Zeitgeist‘. I want to go to the beach now.

Renate Buser

August 28th, 2008

Renate Buser is a Swiss photographer. This project is called ‘Tower Piece’.

The building has two identical sides, one reflecting the other. This symmetry will be visualized by putting two monumental photographs of the façade of the building on each side of the north west tower. The idea is to open up the solidity of the building, to split it in half, with two photographic images and make it transparent. This will create tension between the photographed spaces and the real space around it, between illusion and reality, and between the inside and the outside. When driving by in a car on Alton Road, the relation between photographed and real perspectives will constantly change. Therefore the installation will be seen best in movement.

Indeed, you’ll have to go and see this video on her website.
