The strangeness of familiarity. As a visual artist, I can only say I was blessed to be born in Romania. In my country, almost everything is a picture. I do not have to search for images, I just live my life and pictures happen. Actually, the more I live my life the better my images get. People here have a specific quality, a sort of external image of poverty mixed together with profound internal abundance and creativity. A wonderful balance of roughness and sensibility. It all just comes together naturally, like an old pair of shoes you’ve worn thousands of times, they look worn out, but they’re your favorite pair, they’re comfortable, and then there’s all the memories you have together, places you’ve been, people you’ve met. You look at them and they make you smile. There is a lot of beauty in familiarity, like the classic Dacia car made in communist Romania, a symbol of nostalgia. All Romanians look upon it with fondness, especially the older generations but not because it was made in communist times but because it used to be the Romanian all inclusive family car. There are countless personal family memories attached to the car's instantly recognizable image. As a child I was, and still am, passionate about nature. I used to collect cactus plants, I had over 100 species of cacti and over 300 plants in total, I liked looking at them and I did it almost every day. As I watched every individual plant I knew every plants story of how I came to possess it. Some I grew from seed, some I bought from other collectors, there were some I got as a gift and some I stole from botanical gardens. There was always a story there. So, for me the image of each cactus plant contained this precious memory of time spent together. Family pictures work the same way, there is the picture, the actual physical photograph, and then there is the memory attached to it, the metaphysical or spiritual side of the image. My approach to photography is similar to the family snapshot, yet somehow it is the opposite, I already have the memory and I’m now searching, or rather waiting for the memory to manifest itself. The result is strangely familiar. The images in this project were made by Ovidiu Gordan in the counties of Sălaj, Bihor and Cluj, Romania, between 2007 and 2017

Die Frage „Wem gehört der Boden?“ ist für alle Gesellschaften zentral, weil die Ressource Raum genauso lebensnotwendig ist wie Luft und Wasser. Und doch wird die Bodenfrage von Architekt_innen selten explizit behandelt. Liegt es daran, dass sie „in erster Linie eine Illusion des Politischen produzieren, nicht zuletzt, weil sie ihre Projekte realisiert sehen möchten“? Was tun? Wenig, weil es keine andere Alternative gibt als den Boden zu politisieren. Viel, weil bisher noch jeder daran gescheitert ist. Diese Ausgabe will dazu beitragen, die Vorstellungsorientierung hinsichtlich des Grundes der Stadt zu verändern.

Wenn die Frage nach dem Sinn der Kunst gestellt wird, so ist das entweder ein Zeichen für ein gestörtes Verhältnis zu ihr oder es geht, im Gegensatz dazu, um ein hoffnungsreiches Momentum, das die lebendige Sinnlichkeit und zeitgemäße Sinnperspektive von Kunst erforschen will. Zweites trifft genau Absicht und Zweck der in diesem Themenband versammelten Essays, Gespräche und Statements. Prominente Autoren, Philosophen, Künstler und Kunstvermittler widmen sich multiperspektivisch den folgenden Schlüsselfragen: Wozu dient Kunst? Was kann Kunst bewirken? Und wie denkt die Kunst? Die daraus resultierende Vielfalt und Vielzahl an inspirierenden Thesen, Strategien und Antworten folgt einer gemeinsamen Erkenntnis: Kunst regt nicht nur zu einer tieferen Befragung des eigenen Ich an. Sie in unseren Sinneskosmos einfließen zu lassen, führt zu einer offeneren Weltsicht, die eines ermöglicht: Mehrdeutigkeit statt Eindeutigkeit, Dissens statt Konsens, Visionen von Wahrheit statt einer einzigen Wahrheit.

In addition to this, Swedish blues singer Brør Gunnar Jansson tells about mixing music and storytelling, and we visit multi-talented tattoo artist/designer/publisher Maxime Büchi in his studio in London.

Welcome to the Spring 2018 issue of SLEEK In 2018, art’s power as a form of sociopolitical expression has never been so obvious. But as momentum grows in one of the largest women’s movements of the modern age, an emerging refrain now is that “it’s gone too far”. In this issue of SLEEK, we’ve brought together a group of thinkers across the arts who offer a riposte to this view and present a new contemporary feminism that’s thriving in a post-shame world — proving that there’s no such thing as going too far.
