The appointment of the Indonesian art collective Ruangrupa as directors of Documenta 15 was a shock to the art world. No cult of personality on this edition of the Kassel art show, but a collective view on the (art) world now and tomorrow. A sign to the rest of us that the future will be collective or will be not? It was not easy to find any comprehensible information on Ruangrupa but this small docu of German tv channel 3sat sheds a little light.
Long time member of Spyro Gyra Dave Samuels passed away. Despite busy touring shedules with the band Samuels also maintained a solo career and was a sought-after studio musician.
