For her performance-based videos, Kate Gilmore gets herself into physically binding situations that are literally difficult to get out of, all the while dressed as a stereotypical suburban housewife with heels. It seems like the most inappropriate attire to walk up a ramp, tear down a wall or get your foot out of a bucket full of hardened cement.[...]

Italian based photographer Walter Niedermayr chooses to photograph alpine landscapes that express the relationship between man and nature. Sometimes climbing all day to reach the desired altitude, Niedermayr presents viewers with a panoramic view of mountains reminiscent of the tradition of Germainic Romantic painting and the work of Caspar David Friedrich.[...]

Continuing our weekly run of artists from the 60’s or 70’s that have made an impact on contemporary practice, today we bring you French Fluxus artist Robert Filliou. The Fluxus movement didn’t believe that art had to express itself in the form of objects, but was rather a vehicle for vague and poetic ideas.[...]

We want to bring our readers more news on contemporary art from around the world. That’s why we have teamed up with our friends at DailyServing, a global online magazine based in California, to bring you the first of a series of posts that will feature articles originally published in DS.

Recognizing the importance that conceptual art of the 60′s and 70′s still has on artistic practice today, we will be posting a series of artists that in our opinion still influence in one way or another artists today. Jan Bas Ader is one of them.[...]

Lady Macbeth: These deeds must not be thought

After these ways; so, it will make us mad.

Macbeth: Methought I heard a voice cry ‘sleep no more!

Macbeth doth murder sleep,’ the innocent sleep,

As a part of a series of interviews with curators and museographers, Alejandro Sordo Guzmán, our Contributing Writer in Mexico City, interviews renowned museographer Ery Cámara, one of the main specialists in the field. Their dialogue sheds light on the role of the museum in society and the importance of the public in the development of its programs.
