The NERVE of the Algorithmic: Unmaking Myths to Dismantle Anxiety
Hip-hop and graffiti legend Fred Brathwaite, aka Fab 5 Freddie, got his art historical education by museum hopping in New York and comparing notes with Jean-Michel Basquiat: “Finally, there was someone I could talk to about Caravaggio and Rothko. We were both so impressed with the radical nature of modernist manifestos like futurism. They gave us – two young, black kids – the capacity to articulate what we wanted to say.”
🎬🎬
Now Brathwaite is the host of the upcoming BBC art historical documentary A FRESH GUIDE TO FLORENCE WITH FAB 5 FREDDIE, covering Titian, Michaelangelo, and the black body in Italian Renaissance painting. “I don’t know if [Basquiat] ever went to Florence but he would have absolutely loved it,” says the star.

Artist Dorothea Nold gets “an average of five calls a day” from international investors interested in buying into the new Berlin property developments advertised on posters and billboards in the city’s Kreuzberg and Treptow areas. What these would-be financiers don’t know is that the placards – which feature company names such as Desperate Development and absurd architectural renderings – are part of an art project-cum-awareness campaign satirizing the engorged real estate market in the German capital. “I have nothing against development,” says Nold, “but how and for whom people are building in Berlin at the moment really upsets me.” 🏗🏗
