    Michael Craig-Martin Present Tense Exhibition 26 August - 5 November 2016 MICHAEL CRAIG-MARTIN Wir freuen uns ausserordentlich Michael Craig-Martins mit seinen neusten Werken mit einer Einzelausstellung in Zürich zu würdigen und möchten ihm herzlich zu seiner Erhebung in den Ritterstand als Anerkennung für seine „Dienste an die Kunst“ gratulieren. Der britische Künstler Michael Craig-Martin, der bereits im Jahr 2000 von der englischen Königin zum Commander des Britischen Empires (CBE) ernannt wurde, erschien auf der diesjährigen Liste der Ehrungen, die zum Geburtstag der Königin veröffentlich wurde. Diese Anerkennung setzt ein ganz besonderes Highlight in einem sehr ereignisreichen und erfolgreichen Jahr. In den letzten zwölf Monaten war Craig-Martin Thema von zwei grossen, internationalen Einzelausstellungen. Nebst einer Wanderausstellung in den bedeutendsten chinesischen Museumsmetropolen war Craig-Martin 2015 auch in einer grossen Solo-Ausstellung in der Serpentine Gallery in London präsent. Im letzten Jahr erschien zudem Craig-Martins erstes Buch „On Being an Artist“ und er hatte die Ehre als Hauptkoordinator die 2015 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition zu eröffnen. Craig- Martins Arbeit ist derzeit in Gruppenausstellungen in der Tate Britain, Royal Academy und dem Founding Museum in London zu sehen. Eine Begegnung mit den Werken von Michael Craig-Martin ist eine Begegnung mit dem eigenen Alltag der gelebten, von Werbung überhöhten Lebenskultur. Daher auch der vom Künstler gewählte Titel der Ausstellung Present Tense „aktuelle Zeit“. Es liegt eine kühne Raffinesse darin, unscheinbare Utensilien zu Zeitzeugen zu erheben. Spätestens, wenn man im Frühjahr seine grossartige Ausstellung in der Serpentine Gallery in London gesehen hat, kann man sich der Faszination seines Werkes nicht mehr entziehen.

  • Jacob Appelbaum, Wikileaks Activist and Tor Project Leader, Travels to Beijing to Work with Artist/Activist Ai We
    Breaking News: Jacob Appelbaum, Wikileaks activist and Tor Project leader, travels to Beijing to work with artist/activist Ai Weiwei for Rhizome's Seven on Seven conference at the New Museum. Laura Poitras documents the pair in her first film since Citizenfour, premiering excerpts at the event on May 2. On Saturday, April 19, Jacob Appelbaum—notable Wikileaks and Tor Project activist—traveled to Beijing for five days to take part in a collaboration with dissident artist Ai Weiwei, at the invitation of art- meets-tech organization Rhizome, on the occasion of the seventh Seven on Seven conference at the New Museum. Director Laura Poitras, whose portrait of Edward Snowden won the 2015 Academy Award for Documentary Feature, filmed the duo's work. Seven on Seven is an annual signature conference with a unique format that pairs artists and technologists together to make something new in 24 hours. The pair worked to create an artwork that underscores their mutual concerns with privacy, surveillance, and their state-restricted movement. Excerpts of the short film documenting this collaboration—Poitras' first since Citizenfour—will be premiered at the event, held at New Museum in New York on May 2, and the final film will be released online later in May. The Appelbaum/Ai collaboration was organized by Heather Corcoran, Executive Director of Rhizome, who said: “It was important to bring together these two courageous people who are disseminating their messages using art and technology, respectively, and facing similar levels of scrutiny and hardship as a result. It represents the best that Rhizome achieves with Seven on Seven, which brings the worlds of technology and art into closer proximity, to share strategies for thinking critically about digital culture and communicating those ideas.

    Chapter �� The Musaeum: Its Contents 12.1 Introduction When Strada in 1568 thanked Duke Guglielmo of Mantua for the benefice conferred on his elder son Paolo, he offered the use of his house to the Duke, providing a brief description of its contents and adding that ‘most of these things have been seen by all those gentlemen of the court of Your Excellency that have been here [in Vienna]’.1 This confirms the accessibility of Strada’s Musaeum and the representative function it fulfilled. To have any idea of the impact the Musaeum had on such visitors, it is useful to provide a quick sketch of its contents. A sketch, an impression: not a reconstruction. There are a number of sourc- es which give a very elementary impression of what Strada’s studiolo may have looked like, and there are some other sources which give slightly more con- crete information on which specific objects, or type of objects, passed through his hands. Some of these—in particular the large-scale acquisitions of antique sculpture for the Duke of Bavaria in 1566–1569—were certainly not intended for Strada’s own collection, and they did never even come to Vienna. In most cases the information is too scanty to identify objects mentioned with any cer- tainty, or to determine what their destination was. We just do not know wheth- er Strada bought them on behalf of the Emperor, whether he bought them on commission from other patrons, whether he bought them on speculation— that is as a true art-dealer, hoping to sell them to the visitors of his house or dispose of them advantageously in some other way—or whether he bought them after all just for his own collection.

  • The Art of Dissident Domesticity Julian Assange, King Prempeh, and Ethnographic Conceptualism in the Prison House
    The Art of Dissident Domesticity Julian Assange, King Prempeh, and Ethnographic Conceptualism in the Prison House Khadija von Zinnenburg Carroll, Michał Murawski, and Jesse Weaver Shipley What happens to domestic life when the state turns a troublesome sub- ject’s home into a prison, when an outlaw evading custody turns an extra- territorial space, such as an embassy, into a home? How is a foreign sov- ereign transformed into an imperial citizen- subject through exile, house arrest, and return? Exile and forced domesticity have long linked sover- eignty to the power to determine intimate life. Centuries- old practices of house arrest and diplomatic asylum have taken on new forms in recent decades in the wake of emerging surveillance technologies and changing relationships between information, territory, and sovereignty. This article examines two quite distinct, high- prole celebrity instances of what we call dissident domesticity. In the rst case, Prempeh I, the last sovereign king of Asante, is exiled by the British from his capital of Kumasi, in what is now Ghana, and placed under house arrest in the Seychelles to end a war of British imperial conquest. In the second case, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, the twenty- rst century’s iconic dissident, seeks asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy in London to avoid arrest and extradition. Prempeh’s exile on the edge of empire and Assange’s connement at its center show how the ght over the control of information, and those who circulate it, converges with the struggle for the control of territory, and those who police it, transverse it, and are trapped by it.

  • NSA's MORECOWBELL
    NSA's MORECOWBELL: Knell for DNS Christian Grothoff Matthias Wachs Monika Ermert Jacob Appelbaum Inria TU Munich Heise Verlag Tor Project 1 Introduction On the net, close to everything starts with a request to the Domain Name System (DNS), a core Internet protocol to allow users to access Internet services by names, such as www.example.com, instead of using numeric IP addresses, like 2001:DB8:4145::4242. Developed in the \Internet good old times" the contemporary DNS is like a large network activity chart for the visually impaired. Consequently, it now attracts not only all sorts of commercially-motivated surveillance, but, as new documents of the NSA spy program MORECOWBELL confirm, also the National Security Agency. Given the design weaknesses of DNS, this begs the question if DNS be secured and saved, or if it has to be replaced | at least for some use cases. In the last two years, there has been a flurry of activity to address security and privacy in DNS at the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the body that documents the DNS standards. The Internet Architecture Board, peer body of the IETF, just called on the engineers to use encryption everywhere, possibly including DNS. [4] A recent draft [6] by the IETF on DNS privacy starts by acknowledging that the DNS \... is one of the most important infrastructure components of the Internet and one of the most often ignored or misunderstood. Almost every activity on the Internet starts with a DNS query (and often several). Its use has many privacy implications ..." Despite seemingly quick consensus on this assessment, the IETF is not expecting that existing industry solutions will change the situation anytime soon: \It seems today that the possibility of massive encryption of DNS traffic is very remote." [5] From a surveillance perspective, DNS currently treats all information in the DNS database as public data.
