Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing Spanish artist duo PSJM; they are originally from Spain but live and work right here in Berlin. They are very international artists though, exhibitions all over the place. I liked their artwork (and they are also nice people!), go check them out: www.psjm.es
And here is my article on globe-M (as always: German only!): Das Kapital der Kunst.

I recently attend a Shakuhachi performance by master musician Christopher Yohmei Blasdel at the Japanese-German Centre here in Berlin – an amazing concert. Here is the globe-M article: Die Ästhetik des Einzeltons.

On Thursday 23rd August I attended “Japan Next. Künstler aus Japan – Im Fluss der zeitgenössischen Kunst”, a performance and discussion on contemporary Japanese art at Bethanien in Kreuzberg. Part of the “Echo” exhibition. And I was blown away by the performance of Japanese artist Takehito Koganezawa. Check him out!!! I hadn’t heard of him before (then again I don’t really know a great deal about contemporary performance/art) but apparently he is pretty famous. He lives in Berlin and has had some impressive exhibitions over here.
And he opened the talk/discussion at the Bethanien yesterday with an AMAZING performance; played on an Indian harmonium and combined this sound with colourful patterns generated by the electrical interference between two hand-held cameras that were thrown on the wall by a beamer. The patterns, not the cameras. At least that’s what happened, I think. I’m not too clear on the technology behind the artist’s performance but it was wonderful.

Highly recommended: “The Echo – Although I Am Still Alive”, an exhibition by 17 young Japanese artists currently on at Bethanien museum in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district. Part of the Echo project. An abolute must-see. More info on www.kunstraumkreuzberg.de or www.echo2012berlin.com
