The Column

 

"'The Column' is a video installation by Adrian Paci. A raw block of marble was shipped from China to Paris and during the trip it was transformed into a classical column by Chinese sculptors."

Wait Watchers






































"For about a year, I’d been taking pictures of strangers’ reactions to me in public for a series I called “Wait Watchers.” I was interested in capturing something I already knew firsthand: If the large women in historical art pieces were walking around today, they would be scorned and ridiculed."

Poetry Bomb


"The unusual ‘Poetry Rain’ project was launched in 2001 by the group with the aim to make poetry more accessible to the public and to protest acts of war. Since its launch, Casagrande has ‘bombed’ Santiago de Chile (2001), Dubrovnik (2002), Guernica (2004) and Warsaw (2009) — all cities that have suffered aerial strikes in the past.

The Guardian writes: “Organisers say that just as wartime bombings were intended to ‘break the morale’ of the inhabitants of a city, so the poetry bombing ‘builds’ a new city by giving new meaning to events of her tragic past and therefore presenting the city in a whole new original way.”

Eighty German and Chilean poets contributed to the Berlin event including: Ann Cotten, Karin Fellner, Nora Gomringer, Andrea Heuser, Orsolya Kalász, Björn Kuhligk, Marion Poschmann, Arne Rautenberg, Monika Rinck, Hendrik Rost, Ulrike Almut Sandig, Tom Schulz, Thien Tran, Anja Utler, Jan Wagner, Ron Winkler and Uljana Wolf, whose poems can be found at lyrikline.org."
