- George Kuchar in Berlin
Yes, it’s been a time, and not an easy one at that. Hence, my absence from here for a while.
If you happen to be in Berlin this summer, escape the football hype and retreat indoors to spend a day or two with George Kuchar. This is the highlight of this year’s Berlin Biennale, hands down. [...]
- Identity Drag
With the advent of post-structuralist philosophy and the spread of issue-based political activism in the latter half of the 20th century, the problem of identity arguably emerged as the most pressing ideological issue of the Zeitgeist. While it also enabled the creation of a lot of bad art, a new exhibition in Berlin has triumphantly [...]

TONIGHT, 27 January, SLUM presents
DISCOSALOPE, a performance by Marc-Andre Casavant
DISCOSALOPE is not completely a man and not exactly a woman.

- Marion Bataillard
Looking at Marion Bataillard’s paintings is like peeking into a sort of madhouse or cult compound. Her figures are not quite gruesome enough to be called grotesque, but they aren’t pretty, either, and they inevitably bear expressions of rapture, existential befuddlement, and dementia.
