Artipoeus: art you can hear

"I flew into Heathrow Airport for the first time since 1999, and didn’t recognize a thing — it’s so new and shiny and futuristic, I felt like Jason Bourne, trying to find... well, the exit." Artipoeus visits Jennifer Abessira’s installation, “Don’t Think Twice,” at London Bridge Station in London, England. Featuring tracks from She Makes War : http://soundcloud.com/shemakeswar Hosted on Acast. See...

If you are exiting the train at Westhafen, and want to go up to the Putlizbrücke that connects Moabit to Wedding, or transfer to the Ringbahn that circles town, you follow a little green “S” and an arrow that tells you where to go. You pass big blocks of text on the wall, meaning… what? Who knows? Patterns of letters and images, primary colors, black block lettering that is neither beautiful nor u...

My mom and dad used to throw amazing parties. One time, they threw a party that featured a whole roast suckling pig. I remember sitting in the kitchen with my Swedish grandmother, wondering whether pig’s brains were tasty or not. Artipoeus visits Henrik Strömberg’s Echoes in Dust at A Plus in Berlin.

"It was a moment from childhood storms in the Midwest, from dusky late summers in Upstate New York, from early, early jet-lagged mornings in Paris parks. It was every moment, and the same moment, and this moment too, separate and all at once, past and present and future. And I thought yes, this is enough. This is what this quest is really all about." Artipoeus visits Philip Newcombe's "Mosquito" a...

"I waited in that queue for so long, that the vernissage was almost over when I finally got upstairs to the nave to see Rosefeldt’s work. I passed gallery owner Christian Koenig, who was saying to his assistants, “I’m freaked out about all these people here!” which I found kind of strange, since the opening had been heavily promoted on Facebook, and featured in all the online art event guides for...

"I’m a middle aged white lady. In my professional photo, the one I use for Artipoeus, I look like I probably married well, live in a nice house, the car is paid off, the kids in college and my golf game is pretty good. None of that is actually true." Artipoeus visits 1Up Crew on a tour of graffiti in Berlin. Featuring tracks by Cedric Till http://soundcloud.com/concretecee Hosted on Acast. See aca...

"Meant to celebrate the city and her famous skyline, and elevate the visitor — hence the name Cloud Gate — it has become a major tourist destination and is, in my opinion, one of the most perfect pieces of public art ever created. And anyway, it’s in the shape of a kidney bean, so what do you want, Anish Kapoor? It’s the Bean!" Artipoeus visits Anish Kapoor's Cloud Gate in Millennium Park in Chica...

I knew this kid here in Berlin. Firat. He walked on the balls of his feet, almost bouncing, he was so light. Leaning forward, barely staying on the ground, as if about to take flight. Sometimes he leaned so far forward, if he stumbled on something, he’d fall. So the trick for Firat, of course, was to never stumble." Artipoeus visits Gunter Demnig's "Stolpersteine" in Berlin. Hosted on Acast. See a...

To wrap up women’s history month, we sat down with Berlin-based artists Annique Delphine and Nina E Schoenefeld here at Artipoeus headquarters for some coffee, a chat, and possibly the worst cake I’ve ever made, but you know… when it comes to baking cakes, I’m not that kind of woman.

“Imagine there’s a drastic political change in your country and you want to fight for your democratic rights. You are in possession of a volatile piece of information — the kind of information that could tear down governments, topple empires, bring civilization as we know it crashing down. What do you do?" Artipoeus visits Nina E Schoenefeld’s Hacker On the Run : Rise of the Black Wolf at coGaller...

"The day I was leaving Paris for Berlin, I missed my flight at Airport Orly. There were no other flights available on the same airline that day, so I found another flight leaving two hours later. Only… from airport Charles de Gaulle, clear on the other side of City of Light. Which I guess would make it the Dark Side." Artipoeus visits Laetitia Gendre’s This Is Not Versailles, at the Galerie Thomas...

"Speaker’s Corner is kind of a great thing — it’s a designated corner where anyone can get up and speak on any topic for as long as they like, as long as they’re not inciting violence or hatred. Instituted 134 years before Facebook, it’s a way to air grievances, recruit for causes and political movements, reveal conspiracies, share observations, basically shout out in all caps. Cat videos not incl...
