  R.I.P. Valie Export She struck me as an extremely sharp person on the two occasions I encountered her: in 1988 in Berlin and in 2009 at WORM Rotterdam. moving images from her retrospective exhibition at C/O Berlin in 2024: https://archive.org/details/2024-05-04-EXPORT18/2024-05-04-EXPORT18.av1.mp4 #performanceart #experimentalfilm

  Anarchival talk with Florian Cramer 21th May, 19:00–21:30, @roodkapje_rotterdam | Free entrance 💜 What is the difference between a hoarder and an archivist? Eccentric (an-) archives: histories of experimental, fantastic, and anarchic archives. In this second anarchival talk we will hear from researcher & DIYer Florian Cramer. During this talk we approach the concept of the anarchive from the viewpoint of artistic practice and collection. Archives are often seen as institutional, prese...

  This project needs support: "BuurToren is a solidarity initiative in Rotterdam to provide housing (mostly by squatting vacant buildings) for people who are homeless and/or undocumented. It currently houses 9 people, and we want to house more! BuurToren was founded by an activist coalition that emerged when the Bed-Bad-Brood Scheme in Rotterdam was discontinued in 2024— which had provided temporary shelter and basic services to undocumented people in the Netherlands who fell into the...

  €21 million fraud about non-existing digital NFT art [summary of a paywalled, German-language article]: German prosecutors have filed fraud charges against five individuals who allegedly used the promise of digital art and NFTs to run a €21 million Ponzi scheme. The group operated a cult-like investment club called "Der Schwarm" (The Swarm). Capitalizing on the hype surrounding digital NFT art, they sold purported fractions of digital artworks, which they labeled as &quot...

  Ars Electronica's curatorial statements says art should be a way to negotiate; a space where things aren't clear and we have to ask questions. Fine. Read closely, it's a giant piece of avoidance, cowardice and wanting the cake and eating it too. It says a festival "cannot and should not be neutral"; every invitation is a stance. Indeed. But it also demands "symmetry of understanding": treating every viewpoint with equal seriousness. You...

  @adam_harvey Because all of this was based on a fundamental misunderstanding from the beginning on. "All art is political" in the past meant to welcome lefty Western "expat" artists as an exorcism and redemption of Germany's Nazi past, to be the tokens for the country having shed nationalism. When those same international artists voiced their solidarity with Palestinians, this disturbed a German post-war narrative in which the state of Israel is the ev...

  The Dutch WO vs. HBO system insanity goes so far that Dutch ("WO") universities now reject international students with foreign university B.A. degrees in Fine Art for their Masters programs, because they consider such a degree not a university degree. #Netherlands #universities

  Why the 'Prospects' exhibition organized by Mondriaan Fonds at #ArtRotterdam for artists who received its 'Starter' stipend has become problematic - op-ed by Simon Kentgens, in Dutch: https://metropolism.com/nl/opinie/wat-zijn-onze-prospects/ The text critiques how the Mondriaan Fund Artist Start grant subtly steers emerging artists toward the commercial art system. By combining funding with the “Prospects” exhibition at Art Rotterdam, artists are nudged to prod...

  OpenAI just shut down its Sora video generator. It seems we're witnessing the beginning of the end of the GenAI bubble. Hyperscalers like OpenAI never had realistic business models, but the Iran war and soaring energy costs have made these models even less viable. If OpenAI is forced to evaluate the profitability of its services, it will likely keep military and B2B services, as well as cheaper, less computationally demanding text generators. OpenAI has an added problem: compared to A...
