Originally, this issue was intended to draw a picture of the Zurich art scene and was meant to be published parallel to Art Basel 2020. Now, with a significantly smaller crowd, we inform the international art scene through our website and not just the art flâneurs invading Basel and Zurich. We hope that this issue will nevertheless give a longer-term idea of art in Zurich. We conducted over forty interviews with initiators of the most diverse project spaces and off-spaces, projects without a space, city/government-funded institutions, city representatives for the cultural sector, temporarily funded and non-funded institu- tions, art lovers’ initiatives, artists and projects in favor of art discourse and critical art, and personalities having resided in Zurich for a long time, knowledgeable about the historical changes. The questions in the interviews ranged from the history and concept of the respective project space and its curatorial approach, to financing and sustaining the project, how working processes are set up, about measures of inclusive- ness, about their own agenda within Zurich and internationally, and so on. Clearly, you will not find a homogeneous art scene in Zurich. Even within off-spaces and project spaces, there are huge differences: some are quite in line within distinctive fine arts procedures and operate structurally close to galleries, while others are more in favor of discourse and are built around an artist community and special shared interests. And then others are more culturally driven or closer to entertainment and partying. They differ immensely in scale, infrastructure, personnel, and ambition. And they all have their own agenda; at the same time, they (mostly all) compete for the same funding from the city, the canton, and other private supporters. And the funding—despite what one might assume after hearing “Zurich” and “Switzerland”—is not an easy task for the independent art scene. For a rather small but rich city like Zurich with a population of 400,000 residents, one can find a large, vibrant art scene with over forty officially registered project spaces, and art initiatives and over twenty-five other projects without a regular space.1 Those who are part of this independent scene often know each other well; some projects collaborate in specific instances, enriching the cultural life of Zurich tremendously. Yet, all of them compete for a very small contemporary art budget, which has stagnated for years. And then there are the big institutions, like Kunsthaus, Kunsthalle, and Haus Konstruktiv, which are extremely well funded. Of course, the overall cultural sector is, in comparison with other city departments, not overfunded at all, especially if one takes into consideration that the creative industry—which profits from the indepen- dent and wild open art scene indirectly—is an enormously important business sector in Switzerland. We would also like to think about the situation from a more theoretical perspective: the notion of “dark matter” was applied to the arts by Gregory Sholette, who laments 4 Issue 48 / September 2020 Editorial Zurich Issue: Dark Matter, Grey Zones, Red Light, and Bling Bling www.zurichartspaceguide.ch.

  • Kink Bar & Restaurant Opens in Berlin
    KINK BAR & RESTAURANT OPENS IN BERLIN | BRIDGING ART AND EXPERIMENTAL GASTRONOMY Located in the heart of Prenzlauer Berg’s multidisciplinary cultural venue Pfefferberg, KINK brings together a bar, restaurant and in-house laboratory, in conversation with Kerim Seiler’s large-scale site-specific neon light installation. June 18, 2020 (Berlin) – A restaurant, bar and in-house culinary laboratory, KINK Bar & Restaurant opens in a restored industrial building, nested in the sociocultural centre Pfefferberg, host to various galleries, artist studios and event venues. Building on its vast adaptive space and eight-meter-high ceiling, KINK brings together contemporary art, modular design and world gastronomy, to offer a both multifaceted and deeply personal visitor experience. Sustaining a constant dialogue with contemporary art and design, the wide room is reinvested through a selection of contemporary installations and works presented throughout the restaurant and bar. At its core, suspended from its high ceiling, Swiss contemporary artist Kerim Seiler’s Spaceknot (Pfefferberg) – a large- scale site-specific work consisting of over 100 meters of red neon tubes – elegantly loops through the space. Rethinking the void “as his canvas,” the artist transforms what appears to be a two-dimensional twisted knot into a multi-dimensional space-embracing sculpture. The contrasting glow of its interconnected segments plays with the architectural scale of the room, thereby creating an all-inclusive immersive atmosphere. In constant conversation with the work, the post-industrial atemporal setting combines classic and vintage elements with contemporary design features and objects. Separated into three spaces – a vast main room, a gallery and a window-enveloped “Glashaus” – the different levels allow for distinct functions and ambiances.

  • Using Love and Logic to Raise Resilient Kids – Dr
    Using Love and Logic to Raise Resilient Kids – Dr. Charles Fay with Dave Asprey – #832 Announcer: Bulletproof Radio, a state of high performance. Dave Asprey: You're listening to Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey. Today's going to be a fun show, because I get a lot of questions from The Upgrade Collective, which is my membership and mentorship group that you should check out. In fact, there's a bunch of Upgrade Collective members logged in live as I'm recording this podcast, able to answer questions or ask questions at the end of the show. I get a lot of questions about parenting and, "Dave, what do you do for parenting?" I think I'm a pretty good parent, but you know what? Every parent thinks they're a pretty good parent at least some of the time, even if they're not. Dave: How would I know if I'm good given my sample size is I had two parents? I'm going to compare myself to them. Everyone says I'm going to do better than my parents, which usually means you do exactly what your parents did even more or the exact opposite way your parents did even more. You guys have heard me talk about being vicurious, vaccine industry curious, in the middle, where I'm going to pay attention to all the different data sources, then make my own decision. It's hard to be a curious parent, because, well, you just haven't seen enough. Then what you do is you go to an expert who has seen a lot of parenting and studied it and say, "All right, well, what's going to work? What's not going to work?" Dave: Then you look for a believable, trustworthy expert.

  • Kerim Seiler Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue
    GRIEDER CONTEMPORARY Kerim Seiler Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue 6. April – 25. Mai, 2018 Öffnungszeiten : Freitag, 11 – 18 Uhr Und nach Vereinbarung Grieder Contemporary freut sich, mit Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue die vierte Einzelausstel- lung des Künstlers Kerim Seiler zu präsentieren. Es gibt keinen Bedarf an chromatischer Aberration. — Goethe Dieses soziopathische Gefühl, das einen in Kerim Seilers Atelier beschleicht, wenn die Sonne, begleitet vom Mahavishnu Orchestra das Oberlicht durchdringt — ist das die Essenz von Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue? Die Großzügigkeit, mit welcher der Himmel gelegentlich die unerschöpflichen Reichtümer ihrer Schätze wie auch all die Anmut und seltenen Geschenke in einer Person vereint, die er im Allgemeinen über ei- nen erweiterten Zeitraum von Generationen über viele verteilt, kristallisiert sich in den vier Gemälden, die wir in dieser ikonischen Ausstellung vorfinden. Im Innern von Seilers Atelier, 800 Quadratmeter, 10 Meter hoch, umsäumt von stillen Großraumbüros, ist unter den Assistenten ein junger Mann, der nächstens sein Diplom als therapeutischer Masseur erhält und Spannungsknoten löst, welche mit der pathologischen Kunstschaffung einhergehen; ein älterer Herr flattert umher und verziert Leinwandränder mit imaginären Ornamenten; Red, Seilers heftig pubertie- render Sohn, malt Hintergründe; eine malende Dame verbringt vier Tage die Woche damit zu, vorder- gründige Metaphorik zu verfeinern. Wir fühlen uns in dieser betriebsamen Produktionsstätte am ehesten an Caravaggio im Herbst des Lebens erinnert. Es gibt kein experimentum crucis, das uns für oder gegen Seilers Theorie der Spektralfarben einnehmen könnte. Darüber hinaus dürfen wir ruhig sagen, dass jene, die solche Gaben wie Seiler ihr eigen nennen, keine Menschen, sondern sterbliche Götter sind, und dass sie, deren Namen dank ihrer Werke einen Platz auf der Ehrentafel finden, im Jenseits auf eine reiche Belohnung für ihre redlichen Mühen und lange nachklingenden Verdienste hoffen dürfen.

  • Gendered Analysis of the Working for Water Programme: a Case Study of the Tsitsikama Working for Water Project Mastoera Sadan1
    Gendered Analysis of the Working for Water Programme: A Case Study of the Tsitsikama Working for Water Project Mastoera Sadan1 Section One: Introduction There are numerous government programmes that seek to address poverty, among these are social grants, provision of basic services such as education, health, housing, water and sanitation and provision of infrastructure (National Treasure, 2004a). Complementing these programmes are targeted interventions such as public works programmes. Public works programmes generally have the following characteristics (Goldin and Adato, 2000): 1. Provide short-term jobs using labour intensive methods 2. Create or upgrade infrastructure or improve the environment, and 3. Wages are set below market rates to avoid attracting people who are in formal or informal jobs In 2003, government introduced the Expanded Public Works Programme2 (EPWP) which aims to address unemployment by creating labour intensive jobs through government expenditure (National Treasury 2004a). Conventionally, public works programmes are implemented to mitigate economic shocks or natural disasters such as drought and is therefore, largely short-term in nature. However, in South Africa, public works programmes are being used to address the employment deficit and McCord (2002) argues that it should ideally be of a longer term nature. Furthermore, research conducted by McCord (2003) has found that at their current level, public works programmes are not a significant response to the high levels of unemployment in South Africa. The increased emphasis by government on the EPWP and the scepticism within broader society about what realistically can be achieved has led to a renewed interest in public works programmes as a poverty alleviation strategy.
