BOHDAN STEHLIK / UNA SZEEMANN: WHITE NIGHTS DARK DREAMS
CACT - centro d'arte contemporanea ticino -
Bellinzona, CH Switzerland
 The series of 68 black and white photographs of various dimensions entitled DARK MOVIES (2007) in room 1 opens the personal show of BOHDAN STEHLIK and UNA SZEEMANN (1973, 1975) at the CACT - Centre of Contemporary Art in Canton Ticino. Hung randomly in the first room, like an accumulation of crazily dancing still shots, this work comprises a veritable introduction to the exhibition‚s theme, but also the exemplary, successful genesis of the work done by this artistic duo since they got together in about 2006. DARK MOVIES actually provides the interpretative key that automatically opens the doors to all the rooms in the exhibition, a key around which Stehlik and Szeemann decided to develop a joint effort that questions artistic languages from a point of view both of theme and of semiology.

FEAR IS THE NEW BLACK
Michael Corbin, USA
Can the signs of a great opportunity for emerging artists be any more clear? Apparently, not even the threat of a worldwide, economic calamity can shake them from the sanctity of their creative wombs ... also known as their studios. I'll come back to that in a moment.
I've just read that a couple of the big, overseas contemporary art auctions had disappointing sales. Why? Blame the economy, of course. It seems that even the well-heeled are
guarding their wallets and purses for fear of losing it all in some grotesque bailout scenario. What cracks me up is the fact that all of the major art publications are trying to predict the next art market crash. Will it happen this year or next? Who will lose out? Could Damien Hirst finally see his $100 million, diamond-encrusted skull finally reduced, becoming worth nothing more than a shell of its former glory?
