Boot Print #2 Online
We get notice today that the second edition of Boot Print is out, with the electronic form now available. Though we cut away a few details here, the essentials are below:
--------
The second issue of Boot Print initiates our study section with vigor by investigating firsthand the role of the independent curator. Dana Turkovic, Jan van Woensel, Elpida Karaba, Cecilia Canziani, Sotirios Bahtsetzis and Abdellah Karroum were invited to discuss their vision, their thoughts, their place, and future in independent curatorial practice.
Boot Print’s regulars and guest contributors explore the intersections of art, including Beate Engle and her exploration of the alternative marketing strategies of Hannah Beck-Mannagetta at FIELD (Berlin); Isil Egrikavuk interviewing Turkish artist-curator-publisher Halil Altindere; Daniel Tucker with a review of three recent publications on art and activism; Georgia Kotretsos with an interview of Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen and Tellervo Kalleinen of the Complaints Choir; Juan William Chàvez on art and music, interviewing Carlos Amorales of Nuevos Ricos, and Milena Muzquiz and Martiniano Lopez-Crozet of Los Super Elegantes; Tim Ridlen testing the limits of cinema in the art world; Wyatt Arden Kahn with a look at the entertainment value of Dash Snow; and last but not least, Juozas Cernius on the deathly implications of Damien Hirst’s For the Love of God.
Boot Print will reach 2000 art professionals in print form via postal mail in the United States and abroad; 3000 via email in its electronic form.
