Antoni Muntadas at MACBA in Barcelona

Mónica Boixeda Barcelonian, Only-Be

If you are still interested in art projects that use an interview format, you can’t miss the exhibition “Between the Frames: the Forum” by Antoni Muntadas, which can be visited at MACBA until the 20th of May, in the framework of the broader exhibition “Volum!”, which has a joint collection of works from La Caixa Foundation and the MACBA Museum. The overall project, which is more extensive, consist of more than 150 hours of interviews with art agents, recorded by the same Antoni Muntadas in the decade 1983-1993. These years were very interesting for the artist because they were crucial in accommodating parts of the “art system”, when the role of curators and collectors began to take increasing importance in the creation of works and – above all – in the selection of what is exposed and what was hidden, as well as, the decisions of institutions and critics who began to dramatically influence on those who were in and out. Trying to understand the motion of this system from inside out, Muntadas approached this with a critical eye and with the intention of bringing together the contributions into a file (key word in the artistic creation of those years). Thus, he interviewed dealers, collectors, gallerists, personalities of museums and institutions, guides, critics, media and, of course, artists. 8 different agents, which in the sample are represented by 8 rooms lit with different colors, in which there are some screens that broadcast a selection of interviews. The other interviews, which don’t appear in the sample of MACBA, are freely available in the Documentation Centre and Museum Studies, located next... read more

White Trash Fast Food in Berlin

Mónica Boixeda Berliner, Only-Be

If someone says to you, lets go for dinner at ´White Trash Fast Food´, I would not blame you for thinking that the food might not be that good. But do not let the name fool you, this alternative cafe and live music venue does some of the best burgers in Berlin. Open everyday of the week, this venue has something to please every crowd. Grab a group of friends and get in early to get your table upstairs in the smoke, dark lit and eccentrically decorated cabaret style dining room. Sit back and relax with a drink and tuck in to one of their infamous burgers. All burgers come in a vegetarian option as well so everyone is well catered for. If you are not in the mood for a burger then do not despair, the menu is sure to satisfy with influences from around the globe. The chefs at this crazy restaurant have taken the best from Germany, Asia, Mexico, France and Switzerland, given it a twist and sent it hurtling out from the kitchen to throw you into a food frenzy. You could try the Sticky Asian BBQ & Sexy Mamsans’ “flied” shrimps, L.A. style burritos or perhaps the “Valley” Porno-Nachos will be more to your liking. Most nights there will be live music in the restaurant from about 9pm, anything from folk trio to a Johnny Cash Tribute band. Downstairs the music pumps on until later in the night with a more disco, dance, trance genre on offer. For a more chilled out evening then there is the Smoking Cinema which shows the best of all time underground cinema. This literally is a smoking cinema where you can bring a packet,... read more
