  • Five Walks in Search of the Future in Shanghai
    The Hyperstationary State: Five Walks in Search of the Future in Shanghai By Owen Hatherley Abstract Shanghai is invariably used in film sets and popular discourse as an image of the future. But what sort of future can be found here? Is it a qualitative or quantitative advance? Is there any trace in the landscape of China's officially still-Communist ideology? Has the city become so contradictory as to be all-but unreadable? Contemporary Shanghai is often read as a purely capitalist spectacle, with the interruption between the colonial metropolis of the interwar years and the commercial megalopolis of today barely thought about. A sort of super-NEP has now visibly created one of the world's most visually capitalist cities, at least in its neon-lit night-time appearance and its skyline of competing pinnacles. Yet this seeming contradiction is invariably effaced, smoothed over in the reigning notion of the 'harmonious society'. This essay is a series of beginners' impressions of the city's architecture, so it is deeply tentative, but it finds hints of various non-capitalist built forms – particularly a concomitance with Soviet Socialist Realist architecture of the 1950s. It finds at the same time a dramatic cityscape of primitive accumulation, with extreme juxtapositions between the pre-1990s city and the present. Finally, in an excursion to the 2010 Shanghai Expo, we find two attempts to revive the language of a more egalitarian urban politics; in the Venezuelan Pavilion, an unashamed exercise in '21st century socialism'; and in the 'Future Cities Pavilion', which balances a wildly contradictory series of possible futures, alternately fossil fuel-driven and ecological, egalitarian and neoliberal, as if they could all happen at the same time.

  • Aichi Triennale 2019 Has Announced the List of Additional Artists
    Aichi Triennale 2019 Press Release _ Participating Artists As of March 27, 2019 Aichi Triennale 2019 Has Announced the List of Additional Artists Aichi Triennale—an international contemporary art festival that occurs once every three years and is one of the largest of its kind—has been showcasing the cutting edge of the arts since 2010, through its wide-ranging program that spans international contemporary visual art, film, the performing arts, music, and more. This fourth iteration of the festival welcomes journalist and media activist Daisuke Tsuda as its artistic director. By choosing “Taming Y/Our Passion” as the festival’s theme, Tsuda seeks to address “the sensationalization of media that at present plagues and polarizes people around the world.” He hopes that by “employing the capacity of art— a venture that, capable of encompassing every possible phenomenon, eschews framing the world through dichotomies—to speak to our compassion, thus potentially yielding clues to solving this predicament.” Aichi Triennale 2019 announced the addition of 47 artists to its lineup on 27 March 2019; the list now comprises a total of 79 artists. Outline of Aichi Triennale 2019 http://aichitriennale.jp/ Theme | Taming Y/Our Passion Artistic Director | TSUDA Daisuke (Journalist / Media Activist) Period | August 1 (Thursday) to October 14 (Monday, public holiday), 2019 [75 days] Main Venues | Aichi Arts Center; Nagoya City Art Museum; Toyota Municipal Museum of Art and off-site venues in Aichi Prefecture, JAPAN Organizer | Aichi Triennale Organizing

  • Artforum (May 9, 2019)
    INTERESTING. Few words have such angular ambiguity, signifying both a ​ viewer’s interpretive generosity while subtly acknowledging that the thing in question just might not be that good. Ralph Rugoff, the artistic director of the ​ ​ fifty-eighth Venice Biennale, which opened Tuesday to select press and professionals, played on the word’s double meaning in the title for his show, “May You Live in Interesting Times,” a phrase attributed as an “ancient Chinese curse,” but, like, the Ivanka Trump/fortune cookie variety, with no actual “ancient” or “Chinese.” The dash of Orientalism was either snarkily intentional from the start, or simply reclaimed as snarkily intentional after news of the title riled tempers east of the Urals. So how’s the exhibition itself? Interesting. ​ Rugoff has packed his show of roughly eighty artists with whizzbang Instagrams-in-waiting, through an eclectic survey of exclusively living artists that felt more like someone had emptied Chelsea and the Lower East Side (the new, tonier one, not the one from seven years ago) into the Giardini’s Central Pavilion. But after a day of mulling it over, I decided this zeitgeist approach could be a throwback to the biennial’s days as a salon rather than a definitive statement on our life and times. Rugoff might argue that this is his point: In an age of “fake news” and myriad malleable perspectives, consensus is no longer possible. Even his exhibition is divided in two, with Proposition A in the Arsenale and Proposition B in the Giardini. In the absence of a strong thesis or even a clear curatorial vision, what we get is call and response.
