- If you were wondering exactly how bizarre things are in Germany: Someone is presenting a paper on Sara Ahmed's Feminist Killjoy at a conference at the University of the Armed Forces where an IDF chief instructor will speak on "Lessons Learned from Military Design in an Eight-Front War".
- My new publication is out now via Mousse Publishing, and it's been a great pleasure to make. The book consists of two parts: a longform essay of mine, and a second part focusing on my video work COMPASSION AND INCONVENIENCE.
- It's also been a joy to work with Württembergischer Kunstverein in Stuttgart. COMPASSION AND INCONVENIENCE was already part of the first part of an exhibition series "200 Years of the Present", and is now also part of the series' second constellation. The exhibition is on view until Aug 03.
- It was such a great experience to work with the team of Shedhalle Zürich on an exhibition that turned out beautifully. Apart from the video work COMPASSION AND INCONVENIENCE, I show six newly produced large-scale textile prints. The exhibition runs thru Aug 03.
- THE CAPACITY FOR ADEQUATE ANGER will be part of knotting unruly ties (sich unverfügbar verknoten) at nGbK Berlin, which promises to be a great exhibition. In case you are around, please join me for the opening on Friday, 20 June, 2025.

- Reposted by Vika KirchenbauerWir begrüßen ausdrücklich den Parteitagsbeschluss von @die-linke.de zur Verwendung der JDA. Diese wurde als Reaktion auf die zunehmende Kritik an der umstrittenen IHRA-Arbeitsdefinition des Antisemitismus von Wissenschaftler*innen entwickelt, um Antisemitismus zu identifizieren und konfrontieren.
- PLEASE RELAX NOW will be part of @opencitydocs.bsky.social , screening on Wed 07 May, 8:30PM at Close-Up.
- Sehr kluger Text von Ralf Michaels: "Albaneses Vortrag wurde nicht aus Angst vor Antisemitismus verboten, sondern aus Angst vor dem Völkerrecht. Denn wenn man dieses ernstnähme, müsste man anders handeln."

- I've had the great privilege of contributing an essay about the great work of @tjcuthand.bsky.social to this volume published by UnionDocs. "Rather than exposing the brokenness of a world, his practice is concerned with how to stay moving in its brokenness..."
