Gulu's Berlin Solo Debut: NIHILISTIC SUPERSTAR at Migrant Bird Space - KALTBLUT Magazine

As we traverse an era dominated by algorithms and driven by the impulse for efficiency, we increasingly sacrifice our ability to feel. In this "age of emotional poverty," highlighted by philosopher Byung-Chul Han, our emotional landscapes grow flatter, our pains diluted, and genuine intimacy replaced with a sterile digital façade. However, in Gulu's evocative imagery, the body emerges as a resilient space of resistance, pushing back against a world that demands we conform to neat, predictable narratives.

An Interview with Dorte Eifeldt | Berlin Art Link

Dörte Eißfeldt's photography is grounded in the experience of seeing: a relational seeing that holds in view not only the self and the world, but also the photographic object itself, which can act as a vital intermediary between the two. Making us encounter gentler close-ups of a neck pressed into sheets of silver, nebulated, spectral hands and snowballs that seem to glow far beyond the print's surface, her largely self-taught photographic practice probes phenomenological questions of appearance, perception and form.

Embracing Friction in the Art World

On Franklin Street in Brooklyn's Greenpoint neighborhood, one non-commercial gallery fosters 'a small, stubbornly human space for friction.' Friction—the ubiquitous buzzword that captures the simultaneous delight and discomfort of doing things the slow way—is at the heart of artists Pap Souleye Fall and Char Jeré's current show at Subtitled NYC. It also reflects the overall spirit of this little exhibition space and of a burgeoning movement to reject our culture of optimization in favor of a bumpier, more intimate, less alienating experience.

The late Gert came to fame when she took the reins of Columbia Sportswear after her husband's death in 1970 and also became the "One Tough Mother," with gray hair and glasses, of its comedic '80s and '90s ad campaigns. In one, she put her son, Tim, through a carwash to test the durability of a coat.
