| Space of emptiness, the Netherlands Embassy in Berlin, Rem Koolhaas | Rem Koolhaas and his agency, the Office of Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), create complex, mutable and seemingly disaggregated spaces, where fragmentation is preferred to integrity, dynamic fruition to contemplation, and where the distinction between interior and exterior prevails on structural sincerity. A good example of this architectural practice is the project of the Netherlands Embassy, realised in Berlin in 2003. This building was intended to occupy one of the many urban voids which characterise the city. Starting from the conception of emptiness as an architectural element, Koolhaas chose it as the generative constituent of the project. |

| Edward Hopper @ Rome | Until June 13 the exhibition offers a reflexion about American culture and iconography, which dazzling aspects are discreetly denied in Hopper’s paintings in favor of a suspended description of the most introspective implications of daily American life. |

| In Search Of God / Intro | An article proposing a close, conjoint reading of three recently released comic books that address God.
This article comprises in three parts not counting with this introductory piece. I will address each of the books separately, but the reason they are bundled together in one breath is due to the fact that they can be united under the same roof, matter and or theme. In very different ways these comic books address the issue of God.
The Book of Genesis by Robert Crumb (Fantagraphics),
Dieu en personne by Marc-Antoine Mathieu (Delcourt) and
Caminhando com Samuel by Tommi Musturi (Huuda Hudda/5ème Couche/Optimal Press/Mmmnnnrrrg) |

| Six Minute War Madness / Full Fathom Six / Wallace - Il verso del Cinghiale - Santeria | When I come back home, at 1.40 pm, I find the habitual pile of packages waiting for me. The first one I unwrap, as usual, is the one by Wallace. I own this to her. While unwrapping my package, I hesitate for a while. Then I make an oblique smile, like Billy Idol’s when he used to pose as a villain. Inside the package there’s an unexpected re-edition of Full Fathom Six, the third and last Six Minute War Madness album. I can’t spare it no more. |

| Tracey Emin @ Roma | The artist pulls under the observer’s eyes all the things he would never want to see, starting a slow, but insistent corrosive action on a mental level. Each image, with its set of words, is strong, disturbed and powerful, and it does not let you abandon it easily, continuing to scratch the observer’s eye for a long time. |

| Rosaria Iazzetta – Représentations visuelles de la Camorra | Le 14 octobre 2009, les artistes Rosaria Iazetta et Iolanda Napolitano ont présenté à travers différents média la relation entre la représentation donnée par la pop culture sur la Camorra et la vie quotidienne à Naples et la région de la Campanie. Cette présentation s’est déroulée au théâtre Siani à Naples. Dans une interview, nous avons questionné Iazetta sur ses intentions et son travail, qui depuis de nombreuses années est centré sur la manière dont la Camorra communique son pouvoir et comment les messages qu’elle véhicule peuvent être transformés en messages d’espoir et de rédemption. |

| Videocracy - Basta apparire / Erik Gandini / SE / 2009 / 85' / col. | Videocracy a été imaginé dans l'impossibilité d' "expliquer" Silvio Berlusconi et pas seulement à l'attention du public italien. Videocracy a choisi de montrer aux spectateurs internationaux comment le postulat de Chomsky à propos des médias de masse alors comparés à une "usine de consensus" est devenu une tautologie pour la société contemporaine italienne. |
