  • VANESSA BEECROFT Born in Genoa, Italy, in 1969. Lives in Los Angeles
    VANESSA BEECROFT Born in Genoa, Italy, in 1969. Lives in Los Angeles, CA. Vanessa Beecroft’s work has been shown internationally since 1993, and has shaped performance art, the representation of the female body, and the sociopolitical discussions of art. Her performances (titled VB, followed by the number) have been an ongoing practice for over twenty-five years. Presented across some of the world’s preeminent museums and major contemporary events, Beecroft’s performances highlight the tensions between nakedness and clothing, constraint and freedom, the collective and the individual, and human strength and weakness. Vanessa Beecroft was one of the first artists to collaborate with fashion brands, starting in the 1990s, and since 2009 has collaborated extensively with musician and producer Kanye West. Now belonging to popular culture as well as the contemporary art canon, her work also manifests a deep dialogue with the history of art and representations across the traditions of Europe and of many of the world’s cultures. She is also a keen practitioner of photography, drawing, painting, and sculpture, using each medium to present perspectives on the body, as she brings Renaissance influences together with modern representation. Her art is a passionate field of experimentation, rooted in history, unraveling according to its own rules, and expanding into the world where it takes on many philosophical and political tones to in order to question the significance of our existence as human beings.

There are still Surrealists in Paris, Abstract Expressionists in NY, even Impressionists who still paint fl owers and mountains their pathetic studios in Amsterdam and Rome . All these people have their magazines, their gal- leries and their critics. Societies doesn’t disappear easily because people tend to defend their style and their way of life, The Surrealists, still give a lot of importance to their imagination, the Expressionists still drink a lot etc. They all try their best and most of them are very charismatic people, but Art who is a Dancing Queen, in Life’s nightclub, gets bored after a while and she moves to another table. When she abandons a group of people she takes her gifts back. Radicality, the spirit of invention, pretty girls and young boys, they are all gone and what remains is only fatigue. For last, she takes away the specter of power and authority and gives it to some new people which no- body had noticed until then.

    Make a Wilderness: Miltos Manetas Miltos Manetas interviewed by Chiara Moioli Miltos Manetas, Preparatory drawing, 2019, MILANO at Torre Rasini, Milan, 2019. Photo: Lorenzo Piovella “Everyone’s updating their hardware Plugging in their new gear Upgrading to all-new components Replacing the things from last year […] The tools that we used to create them They’re no longer welcome ’round here Everyone’s re-routing their cables Creating paths that are crystal clear” —Joe Goddard, “Electric Lines,” from Electric Lines (London: Domino Recording Co. Ltd., 2017) Miltos Manetas (b. 1964, Athens) is a charming caractère and a real go-getter. A painter, yet also a pillar in the development of what will later be dubbed Post-Internet art, with the founding of the art movement known as Neen he, among many fellow practitioners across the world, captured the zeitgeist of a generation of artists working on- and offline, blurring the boundaries between the digital and the material world, shaping the mind frame of a newborn attitude toward the notion of art in the twenty-first century that he later sorted under the umbrella of “Ñewpressionism.” His memetic mantra, “Outside of the Internet There Is No Glory,”1 is somewhat of an oxymoron that fully exemplifies the symmetry of his seamlessly distributed practice. For MILANO, currently on view at Torre Rasini in Porta Venezia, Milan, the artist reunited his Cables paintings (1997–ongoing) portraying a “family group in an interior” in a world where technology itself has become “our” family. In the following exchange, Manetas retraces his career starting right from his arrival in Milan, mapping his movements around the globe—each one coinciding with a new stage of his work.

Contact: [email protected] Antagonism and Relational Aesthetics CLAIRE BISHOP The Palais de Tokyo On the occasion of its opening in 2002, the Palais de Tokyo immediately struck the visitor as different from other contemporary art venues that had recently opened in Europe. Although a budget of 4.75 million euros was spent on converting the former Japanese pavilion for the 1937 World’s Fair into a “site for contemporary creation,” most of this money had been used to reinforce (rather than renovate) the existing structure.1 Instead of clean white walls, discreetly installed lighting, and wooden floors, the interior was left bare and unfinished. This decision was important, as it reflected a key aspect of the venue’s curatorial ethos under its codirectorship by Jerôme Sans, an art critic and curator, and Nicolas Bourriaud, former curator at CAPC Bordeaux and editor of the journal Documents sur l’art. The Palais de Tokyo’s improvised relationship to its surroundings has subsequently become paradigmatic of a visible tendency among European art venues to reconceptualize the “white cube” model of displaying contemporary art as a studio or experimental “laboratory.”2 It is therefore in the tradition of what 1.

New Media, or digitally generated art, has become a paradigm for artists concerned with entering and mediating our relationship to technology while underscoring the increasingly surrogate experience technology affords in its supplanting of human relationships and interactions. As with any term associated with technology, New Media’s definition is constantly outdated, expanded, and updated.
