      Parkett 78 features the artists Ernesto Neto, Olaf Nicolai and Rebecca Warren. Neto's drooping, opaque lycra installations envelop the viewer in a fog of fabric, a cushion for the gaze, their milky skins leaving children ecstatic and adults in a Fredric Jamesonian "Hyperspace." Olaf Nicolai's concept-driven art, like much of the avant-garde work of the last half-century, remains set on integrating art with daily life. We experience this "blurring" in his randomly arranged pre-fabricated Pantone colors, ornamental stones taken from a 1960s Dresden shopping mall and wall text reading, "A short catalogue of things that you think you want…" Rebecca Warren makes vulgar, lumpy plasticine figures that show the influence of Giacometti and R. Crumb alike. As Neal Brown writes, her figures are, "fingered and improperly squeezed into something that is compulsively-chaotic-masturbatory-fat-ugly-disfigured-repressed-incontinent-excretory-bestial-bulimic…" The issue also features Erwin Wurm, Andro Wekua and Vito Acconci, with texts by Yuko Hasegawa, Paulo Herkenhoff, Charles Esche, Vincent Pécoil, Catherine Lampert, Marjorie Perloff and Kate Fowle, among others.

    • "Otello" è una delle tragedie più intense di Shakespeare, caratterizzata da una scala più intima rispetto ad altre opere dell'autore. La trama si concentra sulla vita personale piuttosto che su quella pubblica, rendendo il percorso di Otello verso l'ossessione gelosa particolarmente inquietante. La storia esplora temi di amore, tradimento, razzismo e inganno, mettendo in luce la vulnerabilità umana e le conseguenze devastanti della gelosia. Attraverso i personaggi complessi e le loro interazioni, Shakespeare affronta questioni universali che risuonano ancora oggi. La figura di Otello, un uomo di origine moresca, e la sua relazione con Desdemona, sono al centro di un dramma che mette in discussione le dinamiche di potere e le percezioni sociali. La tragedia culmina in un tragico epilogo, evidenziando la fragilità delle relazioni e la potenza distruttiva dei sentimenti umani.
