Dear friends of Avantart!
I want to announce the print of a very interesting small book, it is a little early, as the book will be published in June 2002, but if you are interested, why not note it today?
Kai Grehn: SCHWARZ Reiseskizzen
Kai Grehn is poet, translator, author of radio-art, author of theatre-pieces and director, he is very pensative and attentive and he has a very special way of realising.
He writes radio - features and he is founding member of the german Fond Avet Terterian,
and now he wrote this small book. Small, tender paintings, drawings by Carsten Nicolai accompany some of the texts.
This book is in german, for sure.
Der Verurteilte
Gegen Ende reißt sich ein Mensch den Brustkorb auf, zerfetzt Kruste
aus Fleisch, dort, wo er sein Herz vermutet, links, unter bebender
Brustwarze. Sichtbar wird eine Maschine, Maschinensatz. Ein Herz
vielleicht. Vielleicht ein versteinertes Fossil, blutbesudelter Furunkel,
Oder sieht es nur aus wie und ist dennoch etwas anderes? Das gleiche
also, im Grunde?
"Oh, wir ewigen Narren! Hanswurste sind wir, Witzfiguren ohne Ende..."
Sprichts, der Mensch, und beißt peinlich berührt ins grüne, grüne Gras.
Kai Grehn

The festival SKIF-6 in the line of Sergey Kuryokhin will take place in St. Petersburg, April 26 - 28.
I will go there and listen. Heinz-Erich Gödecke will perform saturday night.
So, let's have good music!
In case you don't know who Sergey Kuryokhin was, look around at Avantart or go to the website of the festival.
There are so many different topics at Avantart, that many of the articles are nearly forgotten inbetween. That's why I start to "re-present" you articles which are still interesting.
Let me present you once more my report on an exhibition of the japanese artist Kazuo Takase.
The exhibition was in 1998 and still I have the pictures in my head.
Kazuo Katase, Räume der Gegenwart: Ort-Raum WINTERREISE
Kazuo Katase also presented a very strong installation during the last Dokumenta in Kassel and still now I feel it's strong impression.
Long lasting. Art.
April 24, the International Day of Noise Awareness will take place. I fear that it won't be noticed in all that noise.
But I support the idea and my contribution is my website www.einschaltverweigerung.de
This website is in german language and collects information on Noise. Noise destroys!
