Until the 19th of December 2009, Hauser Wirth Zürich presents an exhibition of new paintings on canvas and works on paper by Polish artist Wilhelm Sasnal. Many works in the show relate to Wilhelm Sasnal s first ever feature-lenght film entitled Swiniopas (Swineherd), which he realized in the past year. Swiniopas is an adaption of a Hans Christian Andersen fairytale of the same name. Wilhelm Sasnal s film is shot in black and white and set in bleak, rural Poland. It s about a swineherd who smuggles letters back and forth between a farmer s daughter and her lesbian lover. Wilhelm Sasnal was born in Tarnów, Poland in 1972. He lives and works in Krakow. Major solo presentations of his work include ‘Lata walki’, Zacheta Narodowa Galeria Sztuki, Warsaw, Poland (2007); ‘Pintures’, 
CaixaForum, Barcelona (2007); ‘Paintings Films’, Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven (2006); Frankfurter Kunstverein, Frankfurt am Main (2006); and Kunsthalle Zürich (2003). In November 2006 the artist received the prestigious Vincent Van Gogh Award. A comprehensive solo exhibition of Sasnal’s work is on view at K21, Düsseldorf, until 11 January 2010, and a solo exhibition of recent works will be at Centro de Art Contemporaneo, Malaga, Spain from 28 November 2009 – 24 January 2010.

As of last night, on a clear, chilly fall night in the Bronx, the Yankees became World Series champs for the 27th time in their storied history. How grand it was to see Mr. November, Derek Jeter, win his fifth ring. To stop worrying about Alex Rodriguez as he smashed his past of fading post-season. To admire the entirely likeable Andy Pettitte who commands the mound like a dependable, quiet giant. Matsui, Posada, Texeira, Damon. They're bursting with talent, brimming with heart, driven with focus. They're a heck of a team and it was a heck of a Series...

Am 27. Oktober 2009 fand im progr. Bern ein Gespräch statt, dass unsere Aufmerksamkeit geweckt hat. Aus Zeitgründen konnten wir nicht persönlich teilnehmen, bzw. aufzeichnen, so dass wir Susanne Kudorfer vom Kunstmuseum Luzern die Aufgabe übertragen haben. Wir bedanken uns an dieser Stelle für ihr Einspringen. Den einleitenden Text entnehmen wird der Einladung: "Ist Kunst nichts, ihre Vermittlung alles? - Kunstvermittlung boomt, doch was findet da eigentlich statt? Braucht Kunst Vermittlung, um verstanden zu werden? Wer macht denn nun eigentlich die Kunst - die Kunstschaffenden, die Vermittlerin, der Betrachter? Wie betreiben Universität, Museum und Galerie Kunstvermittlung? Wie sieht die Vermittlung der Vermittlung aus? Treffen sich Theorie und Praxis? Genügt die Vermittlung den Anliegen von Kunstschaffenden? Worauf können Kunst- und Kulturschaffende sich einstellen?” Ein Gespräch unter der Leitung von Werner Brück, mit Beatrice Brunner, Galeristin Bern Kathleen Bühler, Kuratorin Gegenwart am Kunstmuseum Bern Susanne Kudorfer, Leiterin Kunstvermittlung am Kunstmuseum Luzern Die Ansprache auf den eigenen MP3-Player oder die Festplatte laden – hier Grösse der Datei: 49,8 MB Gesprächslänge: ca. 72 Minuten Homepage visarte Bern -- hier roger m. levy - luzern - switzerland kultpavillon@gmail.com roger m. levy - kultpavillon - news kritisch betrachtet - experimente - musik - der schweizer podcast aus luzern - - http://homepage.hispeed.ch/more4u2/lautsprecher.jpg - kultpavillon - news kritisch betrachtet - experimente - musik - der schweizer podcast aus luzern

So, every writer has a Sinatra moment ? you know what I mean, a moment when you got a note or a request from the studio or the network ? change this character, make the mom younger, add a dog, don't mention cancer ? you know, just the general stuff that every writer in Hollywood eventually has to deal with when the "art form" they've chosen ? and yes, in case you didn't hear it, I made little quote marks in the air when I said "art form" ? but when the "art form" that you've chosen requires $17 million worth of expensive equipment and three hundred people to bring to life, rather than a six dollar set of oil paints and a piece of canvas, you end up having to listen to a lot of people...

In 1982 she publicised her statements and aphorisms ( truisms ) on one of Times Square s gigantic LED billboards, in 2008 she created a site-specific light projection for the newly renovated facade of the Solomon R. Guggenheim museum in New York. Fondation Beyeler in Riehen near Basel, Switzerland, is now presenting Jenny Holzer s first large sale exhibition in a Swiss museum. The focus is on recent works, some of which have never before been shown in Europe. On display are Jenny Holzer s famous LED installations, combining poetic, socio-critical, and political texts and visual effects, as welll as paintings and sculptures. The exhibition is supplemented by a selection of works the artist has chosen from the Beyeler Collection (Giacometti, Picasso, Malevich, Bacon).
