Romeo Castellucci: Hey Girl!
Romeo Castellucci creates scenes and images that are pregnant with meaning yet never deliver. This is the strength of the theatre of Romeo Castellucci.
Rene Pollesch: L'Affaire Martin! Etc.
In "L´Affaire Martin! Occupe-toi de Sophie! Par la fenêtre, Caroline! Le mariage de Spengler. Christine est en avance" René Pollesch has turned the language of postmodern philosophy into the stuff of comedy.
La Fura dels Baus: Imperium
"Imperium" by La Fura dels Baus is disorienting, thought provoking, violent, sexy and cool and because of that even more thought provoking.
Summer Palace
There is a lot that can be said against "Summer Palace", the latest film by director Lou Ye. The film is too long, there are too many tedious sex scenes, which go on for too long and halfway through the film it loses focus. But still, despite its flaws, I was moved.
Global Cities at Tate Modern
Global Cities is a pared down version of the main exhibition at the 2006 Venice Architecture Biennale.
Zaha Hadid: Architecture and Design
"Zaha Hadid: Architecture and Design" at London's Design Museum provides an excellent survey of Zaha Hadid's work to date.
Le Corbusier. The Art of Architecture
The Le Corbusier retrospective currently at the Netherlands Architecture Institute is a must-see if you're interested in architecture. It covers every aspect of Le Corbusier's life and work.
Cirque du Soleil: O
I wanted to see a performance by Cirque du Soleil while I was in Las Vegas and O is supposed to be their most spectacular show. And spectacular it is.
Remembering Baudrillard
The other day I read that Jean Baudrillard has passed away. I read some of his work when I was at university. I found his books inspiring, but at times also difficult to follow.
David Goldblatt: Intersections
The light in the photos of David Goldblatt is harsh, the colours washed out, because that's what the light and the colours are in the deserts of South Africa where most of the photos were taken.
Gilbert and George: Major Exhibition
The Gilbert and George retrospective at Tate Modern fills an entire floor, including the concourse between two galleries and the espresso bar. That's a lot of Gilbert and George. Too much, if you ask me.
Anselm Kiefer Aperiatur Terra
In London you can currently see Anselm Kiefer at his best, at the Royal Academy of Art and at his worst, at the White Cube Gallery in Mason's Yard.
