Sven Lütticken: Texts and Other Projects: Springerin, Fall 2008

Springerin, Fall 2008

The Fall 2008 issue of the Austrian art magazine Springerin is dedicated to religion, and it includes my article Schleierspektakel (only in German, pp. 18-23). The text, which is an extract from my forthcoming book Idols of the Market, deals with the Islamic veil as a prop in the current image wars.

The English version, pretty much unedited, is online here, http://www.springerin.at/dyn/heft_text.php?textid=2132&lang=en

This is a pseudo-blog chronicling my critical, historical and/or theoretical writings on modern and contemporary art and culture. It is intended purely as a more or less regularly updated list of my own writings, as well as of my occasional activities as a "Sunday curator." This isn't necessarily a complete listing. I may not mention some small occasional writings; the focus is on texts that really reflect my current interests and research.

I try very hard not to turn this into an actual blog, though from time to time circumstances may force me to post comments and reflections on cultural politics and on my own practice.I always try to link to the publications in which my texts appear, and if possible to the online versions of the texts themselves. Unfortunately, not many of my articles are available online in their entirety, or for free, and currently I'm not able to post PDFs myself.
