minima moralia: gaps

March 7, 2015 by slow shimo

entry 50, minima moralia (t.w.adorno) Gaps. — The injunction to practise intellectual honesty usually amounts to sabotage of thought. The writer is urged to show explicitly all the steps that have led him to his conclusion, so enabling every reader to follow the process through and, where possible – in the academic industry – to duplicate it. This demand not only invokes the liberal fiction of the universal communicability of each and every thought and so inhibits their objectively appropriate […]

the young painters

March 6, 2015 by slow shimo

The Young Painters (nicole krauss) The New Yorker, June 28, 2010 Four or five years after we got married, Your Honor, S. and I were invited to a dinner party at the home of a German dancer, who was then living in New York. At the time, S. worked at a theatre where the dancer was performing a solo piece. The apartment was small and filled with the dancer’s unusual possessions, things he had been given or had found on […]

fashion illustrators 08

March 5, 2015 by slow shimo

in no particular order (08 of 10) yelena bryksenkova (b. st petersburg, russia) lives in new england with her imaginary pet elephant and works as a freelance illustrator and fine artist. Uses small pen and watercolour and is inspired by the love she has for her home and the comfort of everyday objects.   hikari shimoda (b. nagano, japan, 1984) paints a world where cuteness and horror coexist, and fantasy meets reality. She credits the Japanese pop culture she grew up with as the main source […]

fashion illustrators 06

March 4, 2015 by slow shimo

in no particular order (06 of what was before 05, but now 10) jeremy combot (french born, lives and works in brittany): drawings are impeccably pleasing to the eye with an ode to the 90’s and a twist on proportions. Quirky and sleek, his characters are drawn with chic poised faces and colorful stylish clothes that can only make you wish you were as cool.   ricardo fumanal (b. huesca, spain, 1984. lives and works in berlin).   vanessa vanderhaven (based […]

analogies : koya abe

March 4, 2015 by slow shimo

from the series Analogies (koya abe) Digital Art Chapter 5: Analogies Irezumi, the Japanese tattoo, is an art form that represents commitment, dedication and physicality.  Digital media is an art form that represents transformation, flexibility and emptiness. Irezumi tattoo is also a traditional form of art whereas digital media is an emerging form of art. In my perspective, irezumi is ultimately loyalty and digital technology is deception. I became aware of these characteristic qualities initially, but then I realised that there are cultural, social and […]

the essay as form

March 3, 2015 by slow shimo

The Essay as Form (t.w. adorno) Theodor W. Adorno, “The Essay as Form,” Notes to Literature, volume one. Trans. Sherry Weber Nicholsen. New York: Columbia University Press, 1991, 3-4. That in Germany the essay is condemned as a hybrid, that the form has no compelling tradition, that its emphatic demands are met only intermittently – all this has been said, and censured, often enough. “The essay form has not yet, today, traveled the road to independence which its sister, poetry, covered long […]

missed connections for a-holes

March 3, 2015 by slow shimo

Missed Connections for A-Holes (ethan kuperberg) The New Yorker, May 06,2014 I was at a coffee shop in Park Slope. You were sitting next to me, talking to your friend about how you’re a vegan but you secretly eat eggs. I really wish I had said something to you. Your voice was loud and distracted me from my work. * * * You: sitting next to your backpack on the Brooklyn-bound L train last night. Me: super tired, holding onto […]

bohemians

March 3, 2015 by slow shimo

Bohemians (george saunders) The New Yorker, Jan 14, 2004 In a lovely urban coincidence, the last two houses on our block were both occupied by widows who had lost their husbands in Eastern European pogroms. Dad called them the Bohemians. He called anyone white with an accent a Bohemian. Whenever he saw one of the Bohemians, he greeted her by mispronouncing the Czech word for “door.” Neither Bohemian was Czech, but both were polite, so when Dad said “door” to […]
