Geta Bratescu. Apparitions

Babias, Marius

German artist, filmmaker and theorist Hito Steyerl (born 1966) has emerged as one of the most influential cultural figures of our time. She has published extensively, with essays such as “In Defense of the Poor Image” reaching “instant classic” status and books such as The Wretched of the Screen and Duty Free Art cementing her place in art-world discourse. And yet Steyerl’s art has not received the monographic treatment, until now. The City of Broken Windows, published to accompany a new work of the same name at Castello di Rivoli, documents Steyerl’s installation exploring the process of teaching artificial intelligence how to recognize the sound of breaking windows. Using screens, windows, crystals and sound, Steyerl explores how AI affects the urban environment. The book features new essays by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Marianna Vecellio, Griselda Pollock and the artist herself, alongside images and a chronology of the artist’s exhibitions and lectures. Also included is an anthology of essays and interviews from 1998 to the present.

The Vincent Van Gogh Biennial Award aims to recognize and reward (at 50,000 Euros) emerging European artists who will have significant, enduring impact. In this, its fourth cycle since its inception, the Award has broadened its scope in two key ways--first by removing an age limit for artists, and then by allying with the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, which will exhibit some of the nominated work and is slated to become home to the Award's collection. This year's shortlisted artists, Urs Fischer, Andrey Monastyrski, Dan Perjovschi, Wilhelm Sasnal and Cerith Wyn Evans, are notable for a diversity spanning generations (their birthdates range over the decades from 1949 to 1973), disciplines (from painting to installation to film) and locations (from London to Moscow). The three previous winners include the Finnish video artist Eija-Liisa Ahtila, the German painter Neo Rauch and the Polish artist Pawel Althamer.
