MOVE, COCO

Gabrielle Chasnel, the must catholic orphan, the singing mademoiselle de cabaret, nicknamed after her missing pussycat, mistress of Balsan, secret love of Capel, french empire, sartorial elegance icon and everlasting shelter of the most creative german queen.

I happened to visit the travelling exhibition "Culture Chanel" today, and I definitely take all comfort in writing this: That uninspiring, absolutely droughty event did not do any bit of justice to the eternal Coco Chanel. Now I don't know if this is the due way to exhibit a legend, but the MOCA Shanghai failed on every possible level to pay tribute to one of the greatest fashion influence of the century. An exhibition deadpan as the stuff they dare to call baguette in this town.

Sorry, no tribute to that one.

Adagio.

Philanthropy stinks.

Hence Ralf Ziervogel owns my full attention. Acting basically as a purist and minimal maniac, his works will exceed your paraphilia and become captured in your grimest imagination.

Horrible and acherontic, maybe. Or maybe it's just raw humanity, if you enjoy it with a glass of madness.

But the cruel carnage-files shall be closed for good, according to the berliner artist. His next project will be an inoffensive (?) construction exposed at the Berlin Airport Tempelhof - the "Tempelhof Cube".

Tribute to german Wahnsinn.

In bed with General Idea

...or how not to forget to take your pills in canadian art.

In fact masterpieces as the "Nazi Milk" (1979), "P is for Poodle" (1983), or the aids era work "PLA©EBO" (1989-1995) which metaphors the disease of two of the artists, set a landmark in today's media-based art epiphany.

Tribute to AA Bronzon, George Frontal and Felix Partz (General Idea).
