Sven Lütticken: Texts and Other Projects: Joep van Liefland

Joep van Liefland

Until 28 November, Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam is showing Joep van Liefland's exhibition Black Systems (Extended Version), the latest installment in his ongoing series of Video Palace installations. Is discussed Van Liefland and Video Palace briefly in my essay "Viewing Copies" in the e-flux journal, and my text for the SMBA Newsletter takes up elements from this previous essay, while mirroring the increasingly elegiac qualities of Van Liefland's exercises in media archaeology. A digital version of the complete newsletter (in which some glitches from the print version have been fixed) is here:

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.
