Summary:
After six issues, we decided it was time for something new. We've survived the baby's crying, the growing pains, the first waves of praise and criticism. We've written zillions of e-mail, exploited five interns and have hosted parties all over the world - a good excuse to get away from behind the desk and explore the local lezzeristic scene. We've been featured in various(...)

We've written zillions of e-mail, exploited five interns and have hosted parties all over the world - a good excuse to get away from behind the desk and explore the local lezzeristic scene. We've been featured in various exhibitions and we almost opened a bar in Amsterdam: the GLU bar. It might still happen at some point but for now, well... we can't do everything! Our cosmopolitain networking put us in touch with a new breed of glowing lezzies who were the inspiration for our 'Fresh Faces' series. Since the inaugural GLU no 1, you have been submitting stuff for us to include - some of which has finally made it onto our new 'Famous Last Page'. And while all this was going on, many more thoughts and ideas crossed our mind. More Pictures! More sex! More laughs! More to read! More to watch! Bigger! Stapled! A centerfold! A column! Skaterboys & Latina chicks! So here it is: the fresh from the presh GLU no 7. And by now, we also felt it was time to tackle the lesbian topic de résistance: hair! Please let it all hang out...

Summary:
Imagine a world without things. There would be nothing to describe, nothing to explain, remark, interpret, or complain about. Without things, we would stop speaking; we would become as mute as things are alleged to be. In nine original essays, internationally renowned historians of art and of science seek to understand how objects become charged with significance without(...)

Summary:
Imagine a world without things. There would be nothing to describe, nothing to explain, remark, interpret, or complain about. Without things, we would stop speaking; we would become as mute as things are alleged to be. In nine original essays, internationally renowned historians of art and of science seek to understand how objects become charged with significance without losing their gritty materiality. True to the particularity of things, each of the essays singles out one object for close attention: a Bosch drawing, the freestanding column, a Prussian island, soap bubbles, early photographs, glass flowers, Rorschach blots, newspaper clippings, paintings by Jackson Pollock. Each is revealed to be a node around which meanings accrete thickly. But not just any meanings: what these things are made of and how they are made shape what they can mean. Neither the pure texts of semiotics nor the brute objects of positivism, these things are saturated with cultural significance. Things become talkative when they fuse matter and meaning; they lapse into speechlessness when their matter and meanings no longer mesh. Each of the nine objects examined in this book had its historical moment, when the match of this thing to that thought seemed irresistible. At these junctures, certain things become objects of fascination, association, and endless consideration; they begin to talk. Things that talk fleetingly realize the dream of a perfect language, in which words and world merge.

In our culture, in which the media play a predominant role, there is an increasing emphasis on achieving visibility and transparency. Openness and communication are subservient to that visibility, and even seem to coincide with it more and more emphatically.

Open 8 : (in)visibility : beyond the image in art, culture and the public domain

Summary:
In our culture, in which the media play a predominant role, there is an increasing emphasis on achieving visibility and transparency. Openness and communication are subservient to that visibility, and even seem to coincide with it more and more emphatically. At the same time, both notions form the foundations for social order and political power. In our over-visualized culture, however, it seems as if every message or social agenda is being squeezed out in favour of styling, commerce and fashion. What position does art occupy in this, or what position should it occupy? In "Open" 8, guest editors Willem van Weelden and Jan van Grunsven write a general introduction, Brian Holmes explores (in)visibility as a tactic in art, and Jouke Kleerebezem asks who actually decides about (in)visibility in the public space; Camiel van Winkel writes over the visual deficit of contemporary culture; Dieter Lesage critically examines the proposals by OMA/AMO for a new iconography of Europe; Henk Oosterling investigates the FBI's prosecution of the Critical Art Ensemble; Jorinde Seijdel considers how media images are used as evidence for social and political events. "Open" 8 includes interviews with Arno van der Mark of DRFTWD, an Amsterdam-based multidisciplinary design bureau, and with the French research organization Bureau d'études, as well as an account of a roundtable discussion about a possible new legitimation for academic training in 'art and the public space'. The cahier also presents a column by the Belgian architect/author Wouter Davidts, photographic essays and book reviews.
