Altered magazines
Yi-Hsin Tzeng about her magazine project (2009-): “They are too beautiful to be believed; they are too perfect to be trusted. They are so affected that I want to make fun of them. No matter how much luxurious clothing we put on, we still cannot hide our true faces.” Available from this website. Compare to Poster Boys’ billboard modifications .
Markus Hofer
Like Erwin Wurm, Markus Hofer is from Austria. I like his public interventions the most.
Antiquity sampling by Erik Steinbrecher
Möhren in Athen 16 Pages, 11.2 x 17.8 cm, Color Offset, First Edition, 2010
Erik Steinbrecher (Berlin, Switzerland)
“For his show Wind in Athens/Möhren in Athen Erik Steinbrecher left Berlin for Athens, his suitcase packed with carrots. The artist’s art odyssee began. His chosen site for an intervention was the National Archaeological Museum. It is considered one of the great museums of the world and contains the richest collection of most important artifacts from Greek antiquity worldwide. During his visit in the collection Steinbrecher installed single carrots in the exposition spaces; close to sculptures and artfacts, on bases and behind walls. This sculptural and performative intervention has been photographed by the artist himself.
For this publication Steinbrecher overworked these documents making up the images with cancarrots.”
Skatepong and Tenning
Each sport does have its own territories and instruments. Why not mix them together. Laurent Perbos, let’s have a game of skatepong!
