Advent Calender: Door 15
Hey guys, girls, followers, fans, users, democrats.
Harmless. I can't explain.
Pain.
Daily. Mail. [A few weeks ago,] Kim Kardashian apologised for 'offending' fans after tweeting about the Israel-Hamas conflict. In a post entitled A Message To You Guys, she wrote on her blog: 'I want to own up to and explain that earlier today I sent out two tweets about saying prayers for the people in Palestine and Israel and after hearing from my followers, I decided to take down the tweets because I realised that some people were offended and hurt by what I said, and for that I apologise.'

Advent Calender: Door 14
Hey, it’s nearly Christmas! Kindle, matches, candles, fires. Soon. Already it’s advent.
I am 27. There’s nothing big to say about it. But it’s strange to wait for someone or something, as if the future moved backwards towards you set in stone: as an objective public plan. The future would then be that which is on the way back towards the present, fucking it from the front. The past, then, is fucking the present from behind. If one was simply graphic, or evenly metaphorical, or terribly crude. Sigh. If I died before Christmas is to happen this year, it would lose me as one of the subjects whose annual happiness and anticipation it produces. But that would not be a big loss to Christmas, for it’s a big thing. It is, for now, as real as a tree, or the wind outside. Brilliant. In fact, it is mainly articulated by means of trees as one of its objects. And the fact that it does not mind me is almost reassuring, like it’s possible to think more, impersonally. Or alternatively to leave it, individually.
But which one? Which side are you on? Why are you saying one thing and its opposite?
When I say I, I should note, it’s not me I’m referring to, or not quite. I am a kind of inner democracy – or should one say I have a kind of inner democracy, or it has me – it’s a kind of horribly hypocritical state. Or should one say, I behave like a democracy. Which would be historically accurate: 1 behaves as if 1 was born into a liberal democracy, and 1 was. It’s a terrible weakness, but it’s not necessary, is it?
No. Why are you suddenly so constrained, so cold, so much like a – manager-ess? And just think: words as objects are real, real, real, as real as that wind, or that Christmas.
Pop!

Action one19
THE INFANCY GOSPEL OF THE KEVINS CLASH
The latest in a series of public and private performance works by Action one19 exploring the predicament of the body seeking to extricate itself from the systems of language, capitalism and sexual normativity, and drawing on apocryphal and appropriated texts, certain distinct 'muse' figures from the cultural and political environment, and an avowedly queer reading of Agamben's concept of 'bare life'.

Jeschke + Beynon
PROCLAMATION TO THE NATION: THREE SONGS FOR A MINOR, INCLUDING A VIDEO
For the 2004 ICA exhibition Artists' Favourites, Tino Sehgal selected Jeff Koons's Hippo (1999). His selection was accompanied by the following text: "Koons [may] effectively be the only truly leftist artist. [...] Ideally his work transforms the museum into a place where a person of so-called lower culture feels good, understood, seduced and, above all, is not alienated."
