📖📖 HILTON ALS on “God Made My Face: A Collective Portrait of James Baldwin,” which closes today at David Zwirner:
“I really did want to pay homage to the complicated BEAUTY OF HIS FAITH. I think that he was one of the more faithful authors that I’ve ever encountered, precisely because of how he managed to exist outside of an institution … In The Fire Next Time he has a line that makes me laugh: ‘THE CHURCH WAS VERY EXCITING.’ And he knew how it worked – that’s the mark of a shaman, not just a preacher. He was able to talk about how he was really wasn’t the kind of person who should be in the church, because he was never part of the community. That’s another thing I wanted to stress, is him being A MAVERICK. And how lonely that was, and how beautiful for us.”

📢📢: “DRESS TO IMPRESS. NO JEANS OR TRAINERS, NO HATS NO HOODS, MATURE RAVERS ONLY!”
On RBMA Daily, DAN HANCOX speaks to photographer and author NINA MANANDHAR about the UK’s most dressed-up, dandyish subculture: UK GARAGE.
“In a sense, the guys were the peacocks of the scene. You have to be quite a specific kind of man to wear a double-print matching suit, you know? . . . In the early garage days, for the men it would just be all the really expensive labels, like Versace, Moschino, Patrick Cox loafers, Iceberg History, D&G: the really high-end labels, where they just must have cost a whole pay packet. The women’s stuff seemed much more affordable by contrast: it was much more about high street brands, rather than these limited-run, collectible items.”

WEEKEND TIP 🌃🌃:
Drift through the shadows at KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin, where the films and photographs of DAVID WOJNAROWICZ (1954-1992) hang on scaffolding constructed to recall the New York City piers, tenements, and crumbling warehouses where he created and presented his work. Voices enmesh in the exhibition space: diatribes, monologues, and protest poetry Wojnarowicz recorded as AIDS tore his community apart. While the political situation worsens – and the Reagan administration’s silence grows more conspicuous – the artist makes his body a site of recognition for the scale and destructiveness of the crisis.
Upstairs at KW, two other figures engaged in the difficult, often surreal work of communicating the illness to a wider public feature: Iranian-American playwright REZA ABDOH, whose immersive theatrical presentations were a shock doctrine from a world turned upside-down, and independent curator FRANK WAGNER, who assembled the first European exhibition around AIDS in Berlin in 1988.
The exhibitions run until May 5, 2019. MORE INFO HERE

WHAT WE BELIEVE on “Sex”:
“… It is beautiful and it is horrifying. It is impermeable to the perversion of culture and it is the perversion of culture. So it is, officially, the most mysterious non-mystery ever – a paradox so unfathomable that the only thing to do about it is embrace our fascination. Obsess about it. Reproduce it, and sell it. Censor it. Celebrate it. Practice it as much as possible. …”

CONSIDERING A WEEKEND TINDER?
“The data collected, shared, traded and sold on dating apps’ users travels far and wide and could potentially be instrumentalized by third-parties for advertising and individualized pricing, but also to restrict your access to health insurance, credit, education and much more. We believe that exploiting this data is questionable because dating profiles might contain intimate and sensitive data on users which, if made public, might have dramatic effects on the user’s lives.”
JOANNA MOLL with Tactical Tech in The Dating Brokers: An autopsy of online love, a project for which the artist purchased 1 million online dating profiles for 136€ from USDate, a company that trades in dating profiles – and their very intimate contents.

Issue #35 – Winter 2018/19: “A Museum for James Baldwin”
“All Is Fair in Dreams and War appears dreamy and melancholic at first. But the true meaning of the film lies in its symmetry: how the before and the after group around the now, how the past and future form a space called the present that, like the palm tree, is forever burning.”
Curator DANIEL BAUMANN of the Kunsthalle Zürich on ANDRO WEKUA’s latest film, opening to the public today at Sprüth Magers Berlin.
