Anonymous user comment: “I was drawn to this image as I wondered in which city the photo was taken – the desolate streetscape could be in numerous cities around the world. On turning the invitation card over I discovered it is an image of Brooklyn, New York – taken in 1994 by Steven Parrino. I find it interesting that Oliver Mosset chose an image from another fellow artist for an invitation to his own exhibition. I didn’t really know either of them but on further investigation found out they were both mainly known for their monochrome paintings, which only makes the choice of this image more interesting.”

Archiv ohne Inhalt
Anonymous user comment: “I work a lot with archival practice in my own art work so i was naturally drawn to this invitation. I really enjoy the method of posing questions on an invitation card as I can imagine then going to the exhibition and already having the discourses raised by them on my mind on entering the space. Questions 2 and 10 are very interesting.”
Theorema – Pietro Mattioli
Anonymous user comment: “I saw Teorema the other night at Xenix where a Pasolini retrospective was playing the entire month of November. I needed a couple of hours and a few glasses of red wine until I could work out what I had just seen. It is a marvel of a film. Plus I also recently spent 2 months in Rome and was hanging out quite a lot in a little wine bar in Pigneto just across the street from where Pasolini shot his first film Accattone. Hence my attraction to this invite!”

Diana Thater – Chernobyl
As soon as I saw this image I immediately thought of Chernobyl. I find it quite haunting and imagine it was taken in some abandoned home post-nuclear disaster.
I have just been reading about it in a few articles and found out image is actually from a video installation Thater filmed in Prypiat, a Soviet city purpose built in the early 1970s for workers at the Chernobyl reactor in northwest Ukraine.
Here are some interesting articles and a short preview of the work on Youtube about it:
Sitterwerk Kunstbibliothek St Gallen
I have always been fascinated by this library but still haven’t made it to St.Gallen to visit it.
It has a very appealing design and if i remember rightly they have some special sort of giant scanner that scans the entire collection at night to make an inventory of the books positions, although i may be confusing it with somewhere else.
Esther Eppstein: message salon
