Phil Collins - no, not that one!
I know what you're thinking, but no, I am not gonna write about that Phil Collins that first comes to your mind. I am writing about Turner Prize Nominee, British Video Artist Phil Collins. I met him when he presented his work "Return of the Real" at the ZKM Münster. This piece documents what happened to people who appeared in a reality TV show in Turkey and how their appearance on the screen affected their lives. It was one of those rainy summer days in 2007, the sculpture projects münster 07 had ravaged the city and right before the opening panel dicussion was about to start te heavens opened and poured heavy showers down onto the earth. Therefore not many made their way into the ZKM, but we would not be nog nog if we let ourselves be scared away from art by a few gallons of rain! So we were among the few who listened to his charming Scottish accent and and had a beer and a chat with him afterwards. But it is not his boyish charme he kept into his late 30s, the hints of a beer belly around his hips or the sympathic gesture with which he gave us beer, but his connection to Southeastern Europe, namely Serbia. Having lived in Belgrade for a while before comming to Berlin, one of his newer pieces has to be inspired by this period: "zasto ne govorim srpski (na srpskom)— “why I don’t speak Serbian (in Serbian)" about Albanians in Kosovo who used to speak Serbian but pretend to have forgotten it since the Albanian independence. Read more here.
If you are in Berlin an want to get a peek at this chap, make your way to Temporäre Kunsthalle on February 4th where his new Berlinale inspired work "Autokino" opens. Wild wild horses could not drag me way.

Vampire Weekend - new album
The new Vampire Weekend album Contra will be released in little more than a week. With Contra Vampire Weekend keeps to the same sound as their previous self titled album. Personally I'm really into the cover of the new album. It's an old Polaroid from 1983. Ezra Koenig compared it to the Mona Lisa, that you can read all different kind of things into her facial expression. I think it just fits perfect.

Umelec Magazine
Umelec Magazine since 1997 is the only art magazine devoted to current visual culture in the Czech Republic. It is directed to the international scene, particularly the wider European circle. Its emphasis on art in Central and Eastern Europe stems from its unique position in that region. It's published in English, Czech, Spanish, German, French, Russian and also Chinese. Personally I never heard of it till I got my hands at two issues from 2009 2 weeks ago. I really like this Magazine, especially because I don't know that much of the Czech art scene. If you want to purchase you own copy, check here for the retailer near you!

Massive Attack
Photo by Wareen Du Preez & Nick Thornton-Jones
Massive Attack is back! After the more or less solo-released Album 100th Window in 2003, Daddy G is back on board. Daddy G, who last been involved in Mezzanine, seems happy to be back. In an Interview in Lodown Magazine he said " It's really good to be back, it's just good to start being creative again." To be honest I didn't really care for 100th Window, so I'm happy that Daddy G is involved again and I'm excited about the new Album. In the just mentioned Interview Daddy G also said something I can only agree with: "Our thing is with Massive Attack music, it's a case of sometimes you have to listen to our records three or four times before you can actually get the gist of what we are talking about, whether it is the lyrical side or whether it is the musical side." What do you think?

Russell Crowe as Robin Hood
So apparently there is a new Robin Hood movie comin out with Russell Crowe aka the Gladiator in the role of Robin Hood and Cate Blanchett in the role of Lady Marian. To be honest I really don't see the point in doing another Robin Hood movie. I think the one from 1991 with Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Christian Slater and Alan Rickman is and will always be the best. Don't you think? And I mean the Soundtrack as well. How you wanna top Bryan Adams' Everything I do, I do it for you. Don't understand me wrong, I think Cate Blanchett is a terrific actress, but some movies just shouldn't be done over and over again.

Poetry Slam at Peperoni
Tonight, I for once did not work but went to the Poetry Slam at Peperoni. The Slam at Peperoni takes place every last saturday of the month and attracts every time a big crowd. The Slam is called "Die Wa(h)lnuss" and it's all about the Poetry and the crowd who in the end votes the Winner! The Place Peperoni is actually a greengrocery which makes the Slam definitely unique. It has it's special charm if you listen to texts surrounded by vegetables, don't you think? Host is der Marian, also a quite well known local Slammer. The Slam not only attracts a lot of local Slammers but also Slammers from all over NRW. In general there are a lot of Slams you can got to here in Münster. The one at Cuba Nova, which takes place every second Monday of the month, is one of the biggest in NRW. You should definitely check it out. Tonight I really liked Andreas Weber who is kind of the local matador. He organizes the Slam at Cuba Nova. This time he talked about projectors and christmas. Hilarious, I tell you. Here is another one of his performances from another Slam at Peperoni. Enjoy!
