Fucking Good Art - International Edition Berlin #12
Nienke Terpsma and Rob Hamelijnck
The editors of the Rotterdam-based art magazine Fucking Good Art, Nienke Terpsma and Rob Hamelijnck, proudly present their 12th issue: Fucking Good Art - International edition / Berlin.
This is the second time they have produced a paperback instead of their trusty A3 folded to A5 pink pamphlet with observations, critiques and reviews. It explores the (international) art world from a Berlin perspective, from the local point of view, in a mixture of articles, interviews, a crimi, a meta comic, reviews, and commissioned art works. It is their opening salvo on greater Europe's culturati, taking aim, this time, at the incongruities, banalities, ongoing conversations, and internecine conflicts that make up an integral part of urban cultural life in Berlin. They do this no less with an unique mixture of brevity, wit, and hardball critique while displaying considerable elan.
Nienke and Rob are artists/designers and have been in Berlin since October 2005 while in attendance at the 'Project Studio Berlijn', a three months residency run by The Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture.
