Culture Jamming: a Documentary
Culture Jamming – Media Actionism In The 21st Century provides a two year research in european Culture Jamming, from its roots in the Dada Mouvement to Situationism and postmodern info-wars. The documentary features, among others, UBERMORGEN.COM, 0100101110101101.org, and Molleindustria‘s political games.
Above is an excerpt not featured in the movie, where Franco Mattes (0100101110101101.org) talks about the project United We Stand (2005 – 2006).
Grand Theft Museum (Stolen Title)
Today, The Washington Post features a wonderful piece of art criticism. Written by Blake Gopnik, the article was occasioned by the unveiling – at Postmasters Gallery in New York – of Eva and Franco Mattes‘ first artwork ever, Stolen Pieces (1995 – 1997): «a piece of contemporary art that consists of fragments stolen from priceless major modern works», Gopnik writes. The reason I’m pointing to the article (and not to the work) is because the work is not online yet, and because the review is really able to bring you into the piece and its complexity.
If you want to know more, please read Fabio Cavallucci‘s gorgeous essay on Stolen Pieces in the Mattes’ recently published catalogue. The essay is available as a pdf download on Postmasters’ website.
