> The latest issue of "Springerin" deals with the relevance of the
> concept of the "working poor" in the context of cultural
> representation. The themes of poverty and social exlusion are only
> marginal parts of contemporary art. Nevertheless, in the last ten years
> there has been an increase in socially committed approaches; these have
> created a "welfare" kind of art, rather than one that questions social
> conditions, write the editors in their introduction.

> Beyond state and capital: Paulo Virno, an Italian theoretician and
> former member of the autonomous Left, talks with Klaus Ronneberger
> about intangible labour, pay as an independent variable, and
> post-fordism. What happens when we change from labour based-capitalism
> to knowledge-based capitalism? Virno tries to give an answer in his
> book "Grammar of the Multitude" by specifying Negri's concept of
> "multitude".

> In action: "Angry sandwich people" perform Brechts poem "Lob auf die
> Dialektik" in celebration of the anniversary of the first Russian
> Revolution of 1905. The result of this staged action was as a slide
> show published by "Springerin". The sandwich people convene and slide
> apart, with their body as the medium of text. The happening was
> organized by the Russian art group "Chto delat", who define themselves
> as a "collective platform that opens a space between theory, art, and
> activism with the goal of politicizing all three types of praxis."

> Refering to Foucault's concept of "parrhesia", Turkish writer Sürreyyya
