Layli Long Soldier - Talent
my first try I made a hit it dropped from morning gray the smallest shadow both wings slipped inward mid-flight the man barked Now I shot again and again a third time with each arrow through the target I thought was it luck or was it skill luck or skill as the last one fell
its awkward shape made me run there pulsing on the ground I was astounded by its size a gangly white goose throbbed heaved its head my eyes dropped blood flowers opened in the snow of its neck behind my shoulder stepping...

Nils Frahm at Funkhaus Berlin
The Hamburg-born composer and producer is known for melding classical influences and electronic production into minimalistic, but emotionally potent works. Originally the sound studio of East Germany’s GDR, the Funkhaus Berlin has opened its doors to artists and musicians, and Frahm is one artist occupying a custom-built studio in the vast complex – which he now calls home. The unique historical space is where the artist recorded his latest album All Melody, out now via Erased Tapes.

Patricia Smith - Incendiary Art
The city’s streets are densely shelved with rows
of salt and packaged hair. Intent on air,
the funk of crave and function comes to blows
with any smell that isn’t oil—the blare
of storefront chicken settles on the skin
and mango spritzing drips from razored hair.
The corner chefs cube pork, decide again
on cayenne, fry in grease that’s glopped with dust.
The sizzle of the feast adds to the din
of children, strutting slant, their wanderlust
and cussing, plus the loud and tactless hiss
of dogged...

Tomas Tranströmer - After a Death
Once there was a shock
that left behind a long, shimmering comet tail.
It keeps us inside. It makes the TV pictures snowy.
It settles in cold drops on the telephone wires.
One can still go slowly on skis in the winter sun
through brush where a few leaves hang on.
They resemble pages torn from old telephone directories.
Names swallowed by the cold.
It is still beautiful to hear the heart beat
but often the shadow seems more real than the body.
The samurai looks insignificant
beside his armor of bla...

Maskirovka, 2017
Tobias Zielony‘s new work produced in Ukraine between 2016 and 2017 focuses on the underground queer and techno scene in Kyiv in the aftermath of the 2013 revolution.
The term ‚maskirovka‘ describes a tradition of Russian warfare tactics of deception. The so called „green men“ that occupied Crimea and helped pro-Russian forces in Eastern Ukraine were in fact Russian special forces wearing face masks to hide their identities, starting a hybrid war that was never offic...
