This is America
Visions of the American dream
Centraal Museum Utrecht, June 24 - October 8, 2006

New Exhibition at Centraal Museum Utrecht that I would love to go to. There should be more work like this!

“In ‘This is America’ seventeen contemporary artists from Western Europe and North America outline their personal vision of the United States as the dominant force in mass culture and the media. They are reacting to the image of the ‘American Dream’ increasingly perfected during the twentieth century via the American mass media. Since 9/11 and the war in Iraq that dream has been shattered. In this exhibition, the participating artists show what America means to them now. The exhibition runs from June 24 through October 8 in the Centraal Museum in Utrecht.”

Made it to ‘THE ABC: Zur Semiotik de Widerstandes’ yesterday at the Galerie Neurotitan in Berlin. The space was not that great and there was not as much work on show as I had hoped. Saw some work by Matt Siber, Heidi Cody and Andreas Ullrich which was inspiring, so the trip was not a complete waste of time. Berlin made up for it with Berliner Weiser mit susse and various other local delicacies along the way.

“THE ABC presents new and old concepts from A to Z. A multi-media based spectacle about Dada, Cut-Ups, International Situationism, Urban Art, Culture Jamming etc. with the contribution of 26 international artists and activists.”

A show at the Galerie Neurotitan in Berlin that I really want to go to.
