| Since 2018, Latefa Wiersch has been providing intimate insights into the life of a young artist on her Instagram account @artpop_insta: posts from the studio, from parties or openings show her analysis of collective artistic processes, the mechanisms of the art business, and her role as a female PoC in it. The clou?the protagonist as well as her circle of friends are roughly sewn dolls that are staged for the photographs with great attention to detail; with ever new outfits and hairstyles, attuned to current trends and pop cultural references. With this fictitious account, Latefa Wiersch raises questions about the overlapping of the public and the private, which is taken for granted in the art scene and for which social media are both stage and catalyst. The vicarious figures and their experiences with racism, sexism, class, tokenism, and the moral conflicts that come along are artistic means for Wiersch to reflect on social changes against the background of a postcolonial present, especially in the art world. The publication documents Latefa Wierschâ s long-term project @artpop_insta in a selection of image and text contributions and is published on the occasion of Latefa Wierschâ s solo exhibition â Original Featuresâ at Kunsthaus Langenthal.

| Title: zweikommasieben #28 |
| ISBN10-13: 3906282333 : 9783906282336 |
| The sound of each individualâ s voice is thought to be entirely unique. Like a fingerprint, its composition is distinct, nuanced, and one-of-a-kind. While all this is true, itâ s a concept that has been challenged in recent times by the refinement of AI-powered systems which are able to emulate voices to a tee. And not only voices, for that matter, but whole styles and aesthetics: an AI-generated facsimile of Drake and The Weekndâ s voices titled â Heart on My Sleeveâ made the rounds this year and was even submitted for Grammy consideration. Itâ s a legitimate song, and a proposal that does not only keep legal departments busy, but also allows for myriad reflections on originality and, bluntly, the future of music. But as the future of music is a broad and daunting topic to speculate on, we want to hone in on whatâ s been prefaced above: issue #28 of zweikommasieben centers the voice as means of expression, and wants to expand on what is meant by that: itâ s not only what is heard, but also why a voice is used and by whom. This latest edition considers what it means to voice, and its physical, societal and political dimensions. Truthfully, voices as a topic might be even more daunting to tackle. Its political implications are manifold and have to be considered in seriousness. Voice canâ t be separated from reflections on the ingrained power of attitudes, beliefs, and norms that dominate. Exhibit A for these complex entanglements is a conversation Dounia Biedermann had with South Korean artist bela. The musician explains how they use all kinds of different voices other than their recognizable speaking voice to articulate and access deeply felt emotions towards their home country and identity. â Whispering, growling, screeching, and inhalingâ help them in disrupting cultural boundaries of power that historically constrain and silence marginalized identities. With this approach, bela finds an ally in Krista Papista: in conversation with Jazmina Figueroa she informs that her latest album was an explicit tribute to the lives of victims of femicide in Cyprus, and the marginalized voices that are not heard within the Cypriot national ideology. By subverting traditional music genres and poetics, both Krista Papista and bela push forward the need to queer history and to reveal longstanding, harmful, national myths. In a queer history, we are no longer pointed towards dominant and singular voices, but instead expand to a context that is polyvocalâ a term we encounter in artist Claudia Pagèsâ contribution to this issue: through the tools of light, drums, and text, a different temporality and reading of history is proposed. Tuning out of the prevailing source of authoritarian speech, and tuning in to the voices of many, also leads us to consider the articulation of the collective. In his interview with Helena Julian, artist Tianzhuo Chen points to the shared voice of humankind as a whole, and its yearning for a state of flow and togetherness. For the latest iteration of the visual column â Formationsâ , Imane Djamil provides a portfolio of photographs taken in the Moroccan seaside town Tarfaya. In the series, we are confronted with the boundaries that can be imposed on oneâ s legitimacy to express. We witness glimpses of everyday life, in close proximity to the severely precarious migratory sea passage towards Europe. Hearing the voice of the local community, we equally become aware of whose voice is missing. Naturally, the voice is also an instrument that is shaped by its limitations. Although, still today, it seems to have preeminence above all other forms of human expression. The full width of the use of voice and sounds produced by individuals is further explored in an essay by Dagmar Bosma. The artist and writer muses on the act and appearances of different forms of stimming, which is a verb that originates from the neurodivergent community. Bosma highlights the sonic dimension of stimming with its vocalizations and repetitions of sounds and rhythms, as a way to equally express and soothe. A recurring interest of zweikommasieben is, to speak with Claudia Pagès, to be polyvocal. Previous issues tried to achieve this by highlighting all the different people involved in bringing a magazine to life (in issue #22) or allowing authors, translators, photographers, and designers to make additional editorial notes (in issue #23). This time around, the graphic designers Kaj Lehmann and Raphael Schoen are using typographic matter to create a similar effect: different cuts of the same font (which was designed by Lehmann and previously used in issue #17) are applied to choral effect. One could argue that for a voice to exist, it needs to be heard. In this 28th edition, we wish to offer exactly that. In the next pages, you will perceive a multitude of voicesâ from roars to whispersâ , sometimes out of tune or out of time, with the intention to be recognised by those who dare to listen |

| Title: ZWEIKOMMASIEBEN, No.17 |
| ISBN10-13: 3906282139 : 9783906282138 |
| In the 17th issue of zweikommasieben something that has been apparent from the beginning of the magazineâ whose credo is to study the presentâ only seems increasingly true: in the supposed present, temporalities overlap and intersect. They burst out, reaching at once backwards and forwards. The magazine features interviews with John Maus about the six years between the release of his last two albums, with Anna Sagström and Daniel Iinatti of Country Music discussing accelerationist force of globalization or with Alessandro Cortini on the private retrospective of 1970s Italy in Avanti. In those conversations the nature of time shows itself as enigmatic, fragmented and displaced. On top, this issue features interviews with Anna Homler, Errorsmith, Further Reductions, Gabber Eleganza, Jasss, Ossia, Peter Rehberg and Renick Bell; conversations with Russell Haswell and between Christoph Fringeli, Simon Crab and Nigel Ayers; a portrait on Mmodemm; an essay by DeForrest Brown Jr. ; columns on gender in dancehall (â Basslinesâ ), authenticity of field recordings (â Track Down Fictionâ ), pictures from Georg Gatsas (â We Are Timeâ ) as well as poetry with â Sound Textsâ ; and contributions by Angoisse, Ipek Gorung & Ceramic TL and Jay Glass Dubs. In zweikommasieben #17, the nature of time also shows itself in the designâ a design initially looking for an aesthetic of speed but ultimately as much a reflection of pausing as of deceleration and acceleration. And in this attempt to give form to time, thereâ s also the primordial-musical moment. |

| In this issue, zweikommasieben once again collects numerous suggestions for how one can arrive at other perceptions of the world. The many artists, musicians and contributors in the magazine before you tell of other ways of seeing and hearing, other ways of experiencing. Artists are experts at developing new perceptions. For example, when new contexts for performances or presentations are soughtâ like Gerben de Louw for the Dutch label Queeste, or Philip MÃ"ller in relation to his DJ Heroin project. Meanwhile, performer Sue Tompkins emphasizes how different contexts and locations can serve as catalysts for other occasions. For DJ Lycox, the move from his hometown of Lisbon to Paris was crucial for gaining a new perspective on music. And Melika Ngombe Kolongo, alias Nkisi, not only has another view of the world, but chose the very possibility of looking at other worlds as a pseudonymâ since Nkisi are ritual sculptures from precolonial Congo that are capable of looking at our world while also giving us the possibility of looking into the underworld. Bogomir Doringer has been able to develop another view in the modern sense of media technology: he hangs cameras from the ceilings of clubs and festival tents, in order to look at the dance floor from a birdâ s-eye-view. He observes dancers as if through a microscope aimed at a petri dishâ and suddenly the vocabulary of cell biologists is most relevant for describing what occurs. Here, a new way of seeing turns into languageâ just like a new way of hearing sounds can fuel new writing. Thanks to the mineral sounds of producer Lechuga Zafiro and composer Catherine Christer Hendrix, Alexander Iadorola succeeds in developing a linguistic-associative review of the work that seems poetic. Poetry and languageâ s possibilities of becoming poetic are also of interest to New York musician Eartheater, as she notes in an interview for this issue. Similarly, Simian Keizer, who is continually looking for new connections between sound and word for us in his poetry column â Soundtexte,â guides us on this search. Dagmara Kraus, presented in this issueâ s column, is a prime example of how language and its sound can occupy space and allow new approaches, new listening and understanding. For us, all of these attempts and experiments are the inspiration for a magazine that now and then sets out to document this diversity. We hope that our astonishment at the artistic knowledge developed through these new efforts will be shared by our readers, and that someone or other will be inspired by the search, or maybe even join it. Until next time, The Editors |

| Title: ZWEIKOMMASIEBEN, No.20 |
| ISBN10-13: 3906282171 : 9783906282176 |
| The twentieth issue of zweikommasieben Magazin tries once again to trace what forces shape contemporary musical practice and its underlying aesthetic premises. It features interviews with artists like pianist and composer Kelly Moran, who discusses her desire to give a more palpable form to her emotions through her music. DJ Lyzza and performer Aya understand their work in terms of the impact it might have on the nightlife and its attitude towards minorities and marginalized groups. Kelman Duran, whose music offers a melancholic echo to the history of reggaeton, describes how he attempts to keep his compositions clear of most discursive ballast. These interviews (and more) are complemented with columns and contributions, including the poetry of Cia Rinne, a photographic essay by Georg Gatsas as well as pieces by Paul Woolford and Sea Urchin. The artists featured and their musical practices may raise questions that have been exhaustively debated in other disciplines of art. However, these contexts are neither more suited to address them, nor have those questions been answered with any degree of finality. The latter claim, in particular, would be naïve and zweikommasieben #20 proves that there are a myriad of ways of addressing these questions in aesthetic discourse. |

| A number of contributions in the new issue of zweikommasieben relate to the past in some shape or form, and they conjure it in different ways. An approach that seems adequate, since the year 2020 might have given momentum to a nostalgic way of looking at the world. In an interview, the Australian duo CS + Kreme talks about how they still feed off the energy of an alchemic jam they had at the very beginning of their collaboration. Similarly, Johanna Hedva takes on the past in her artistic practice and speaks about how she understands performances as â the communion with the dead, with the past. â But how could what has passed become productive and how can we meet the reproach of nostalgia? Tracing connections between memories and the present provides a possible answer, as one comes across in an interview with Kamixlo. There, the artist recapitulates the long temporal reaches of the process that culminated in his latest album. The traces from the past can lead us back into the present, as they have changed the now, and following down these tracks might lead to the discovery of new pathways into the present. Yet, we should not dismiss the comforting innocence of a passing recollection. British DJ and producer Mark Lawrence aka Mala presents such examples when he talks about the early parties organized by DMZ in Brixton. And so does Chinese artist Yikii, when she tells anecdotes about her school days. The reading of this issue, then, should be both an occasion to appraise the potential of the past in the present as well as for innocently savoring a nostalgic memory or two. |

| Frequent readers of zweikommasieben will know that the creative processes we highlight in our magazine are an eclectic gathering of influences that result in varied creative practices. This plurality informs a question we have repeatedly asked ourselves: what might be the common denominator connecting all the dots? For this issue, we would like to make the case for the discursive potential of personal experiences. Once the personal is taken seriously, anecdotes provide major insights into an artistâ s practice. A portrait on producer Malibu taps into memories of popular culture and traces musical experiences from her childhood to highlight the dedication she brings towards composing melodies and using samples. In their essay, the duo Space Afrika assembles recollections of their daily lives in north-west England to frame their artistic output over the years. Highlighting subjective perspectives allows for the differentiation of what might appear similar at first. Both the collaboration of Andreas BÃ"lhoff and Marc Matter featured in â Soundtexteâ and the interview with Tygapaw refer to the use of poetry. The former condense language to its most basic units and present them as rhythmic building blocks for DJs. Taking a different approach, Tygapaw asked a poet to be the narrator of their album, expanding the tracks by embedding an additional layer of meaning. zweikommasieben #23 also wishes to make visible the full range of its contributors. Annotations in the margins gesture towards the intuitive processes characteristic of this magazine: from an initial interest in an artist and their work, to the experience of exploring it in the context of a conversation, and to collaboratively reflect on text and photography with various people. |
