These Are the Only Times You Have Known' presents the work of 11 international artists who were awarded the Berlin Senate?s Visual Arts Grant.The range of artistic positions they represent re?ects the diversity of artistic forms of expression in Berlin and includes the examination of different layers of time, hidden narratives, and issues of belonging and performativity. The search for meaning in the present is an element shared by all of the artistic works presented, whose spectrum ranges from paintings, photographs, prints, and video installations to virtual reality techniques. The title These Are the Only Times You Have Known underscores the contemporaneity of the positions assembled in the exhibition, while at the same time pointing to the individual artistic achievements, each of which formulates questions about the present, past, and future in its own way. Exhibition: Neuer Berliner Kunstverein n.b.k., Berlin, Germany (0703. - 10.05.2020).

This dense script, which has been unearthed during the archival research for the exhibition of Neuen Berliner Kunstverein, assembled from a universal collection of materials, can now be presented to the public. VALIE EXPORT?s work was ahead of its time in its anticipation of the body?s emplacement in digital capitalism and the latter?s interactions with new media, artificial intelligence, and social media. One aspect of what makes The Virtual Body. From the Prosthetic to the Post-biological Body significant and worth studying is its insistence that, in the face of the symbolic instability of entertainment cinema, commercial TV, and digital broadcasting (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms) that cannot articulate more than their utter disconnect from reality, expanded cinema still has something important to say about the contemporary world.

Es war einmal in den neunziger Jahren. Das Buch untersucht auf spannende Weise die Bedingungen, die dazu geführt haben, dass sich die Kunst in eine Wirklichkeitskulisse und die Galerien und Museen in kulturelle Boutiquen verwandelt haben.
