I recently interviewed Cuban artist Wilfredo Prieto for ArtSlant. We discussed his latest show at Annet Gelink in Amsterdam, but we also talked about his work in general. Go read the full interview here.

I’ve been writing quite a lot lately, you’ll see. In the meantime, here’s my Metropolis M review of Mark Wallinger’s solo show at De Pont, in Tilburg. Compared to the first time I saw him at Hangar Bicocca, in Milan, the show was a bit disappointing, but still worth a visit – if anything for the museum’s collection, featuring some great Kapoors. Have a read.

Tino Buchholz is a German urban planner and filmmaker. He has been living in Amsterdam long enough to become fascinated with the close relationship that links the city’s creative community to the problem of affordable housing, so he made a movie about it. I saw his documentary and decided to interview him, which happened for Metropolis M. Read the piece here, it came out quite interesting.

I know this was a while back, but some time ago I interviewed journalist and academic Mercedes Bunz about new media journalism and other new media issues. Do me a favor, though: go read part one and part two on the Impakt festival blog.

I was at the Venice Biennale in August, but I only wrote my ArtSlant report in mid-October. My article is focused on the main show curated by Bice Curiger, which I compared to the previous one by Daniel Birnbaum. Check it out here.

I recently went to NIMk‘s Ethical Hacking conference for Impakt. My report came out today on their blog, go read it.

As Impakt gets closer and closer, here’s another post I wrote for their blog. It’s about the geo-tagging frenzy, its controversial aspects, and why the whole privacy scare is not really that big a deal. Read it here.

I’ve been keeping you posted about my regular contributions to the Impakt blog, but now you get to take a peek at some of the content I’ve been producing for the festival’s newspaper. The essays are extended versions of this and this blog posts respectively, but one of them has been turned into a nice infographic (the credit goes to the designers who made it). Oh, by the way, everything has been translated to Dutch, so there’s no reading it unless you’re fluent in Nederlands. It looks good though.
