Seit über zweitausend Jahren erfreut sich die Palme im Morgen- und Abendland einer außergewöhnlichen Beliebtheit. Über Kontinente, Religionen und Kulturen hinweg erzählt sie Geschichten von Wohlstand, Frieden und Seelenheil. Kein anderes Motiv transportiert diese Glücksversprechen überzeugender als die Palme. Allgegenwärtig in der Werbung und den sozialen Medien beschwört sie in der säkularen Welt Vorstellungen von Luxus, Jetset und ewigen Sonnenschein herauf und repräsentiert ein modernes Paradies. Auch die bildende Kunst kann ihrem visuellen Reiz und ihrer metaphorischen Kraft nicht widerstehen. Vor diesem reichen kulturellen Hintergrund wird in der begleitenden Publikation zur Ausstellung »Paradise is Now« die vielseitige Darstellung von Palmen in der zeitgenössischen Kunst aufgezeigt: Was steht hinter der Popularität dieses Emblems und welche Bedeutungsebenen und Widersprüche offenbaren sich im Zuge der künstlerischen Auseinandersetzung?

Neben Texten von Bret Easton Ellis, Robert Grunenberg, Leif Randt und Norman Rosenthal versammelt die Publikation u.a. Werke von John Baldessari, Marcel Broodthaers, Rodney Graham, Secundino Hernández, David Hockney, Alicja Kwade,  Sigmar Polke, Ed Ruscha und Rirkrit Tiravanija.

Ausstellung: 26. April–30. Juni 2018, Ausstellungsräume Robert Grunenberg & Salon Dahlmann, Berlin

MARCEL BROODTHAERS (1924–1976) entwickelte seine Poèmes industriels simultan zu seiner grundlegenden Werkgruppe, dem Musée d’Art Moderne, Département des Aigles. Sie bilden ein wichtiges Element zur Erschließung seines fiktiven Museums, einem zentralen Werk der Institutionskritik.

Die in Berlin lebende Künstlerin ALICJA KWADE (*1979, Katowice, Polen) gehört zu den bekanntesten Künstlerinnen ihrer Generation und nimmt heute eine führende Stellung in der internationalen Gegenwartskunst ein.

ED RUSCHAS (*1937) ikonische Interpretationen der amerikanischen Gesellschaft machen ihn zu einem der wichtigsten Vertreter der amerikanischen Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts. Seine Werke sind eng verknüpft mit kühl-eleganten Darstellungen von stilisierten Tankstellen, Leuchtreklame-Schildern und archetypischen Landschaften. Seit Beginn der 1960er-Jahre hat kaum jemand die Entwicklung der visuellen Kultur in und um L.A. so radikal wiedergegeben wie Ed Ruscha, der auch selbst dort lebt und arbeitet. Seine Motive sind inspiriert von dem Blick auf die Straße, von der Frontscheibe und der Kinoleinwand und geben so einen spürbaren Eindruck von dem großen, flachen Stadtraum mitten in der Wüste.

Way too small with very little stretch.
I ordered a size 4X to make sure they were loose enough. The ones I received are like a size 8 very small.

I figured I ought to provide a review, something I'm not prone to doing even though I often/always bank my purchases on item reviews, since I just bought me a second set of these underwear because they're just that good! I bought my 1st set of these 2 months ago because I was on the hunt for some new comfortable underwear and omfort was my main criteria. Wasn't aware that I was dealing with some health issues that was causing a fair bit of internal inflammation, just knew that I had had enough of basically everything I had at the time because they were old, ratty looking and even my all-time favorites had begun feeling too... something... not exactly too tight, yet they just weren't very comfortable anymore either and I didn't need that kind of extra stress in my life. But. I'm a barely-makin-it domestic violence survivor. Sure, I'm super proud to have gotten as far as I have in this world (considering that post-separation psychological terrorism and torture continue to thus day, 5 years after I broke free) but, by rights and family-rearing, I should be living in a whole different world right now... which is my way of saying that money is extra, EXTRA tight in my house...and yet, I still have "caviar tastes", ifykwim. Lol. And, frankly, neither I nor anyone else should have to scrimp on comfortable, classy-feeling, fashionable clothing no matter how small our clothing budget may be. I was spurred to check out boxer briefs for women after reading about a few different women's favorite brands in the comments on soneones IG post (that must have been in regards to underwear, but heck if I can remember the details). So, off I went to scout around on Amazon to see what this "boxer briefs" business was about... desperately hoping that the term was not just a rebranding of those "hipsters" things. I am 46yo, 5'10" (potentially closer to 5'11"... not something I care enough about to know for certain, lol) and, clothing size-wise, my whole adult life I have consistently been a 16-18/18-20, top to bottom, with a shape that seems some what apple-ish at the moment but has, in general, always been more hourglass than apple. Also it seems as if I might have rather freakishly high hips, lol... not really, but for reference, when it comes to pants or jeans what generally passes as "tall", usually a 33"-34" inseem, fit like ankle or cigar length pants on me. But evidently I don't just have long legs, no, this momma's body seems to also have one heck of a long, tall pelvis which I did finally measure to figure out for sure but, prior to that, I could tell based on the way that low cut underwear like bikini & hipsters, and any form of low rise pants, barely make it north of my low lying c-section scar location which, for those who can't relate, is basically at the top of my hooha or just at the point where my belly and my hooha meet. And because that point on my body is not even remotely close to my "hip" area such items basically fall right off my body unless they're super stretchy and I deliberately hike them up to my hip area which I put up with in my 20s and 30s, for the sake of fashion I suppose, but which was and is quite ungodly uncomfortable, and... basically... I am so over with "uncomfortable" anything (men included, lol.) In both cases I bought size 11, though, if I'm being honest, I am certain that a 10 would have fit well, too. And who knows, a 10 might have been just as comfortable or even more comfortable than the 11... but, I didn't take bother taking the chance to find out when I ordered my second set because the first set (size 11) made me so unbelievably happy that they literally changed my views about underwear for life. This whole "pants come off after work" thing or the memes about people working from home (due to covid restrictions) and not wearing pants never jived with me prior to having these boxer briefs, but now... omg... these things are super inexpensive and somehow still suit my somewhat "caviar taste" perfectly (have a good handfeel and are just so unbelievably super comfortable), PLUS... they're opaque and they basically fit (and look) like I'm wearing a loungy pair of bike shorts, so... yeah, I've spent some time over the last 2 months actually chillin in my house in my freaking underwear!!!! Life. Changing. :D
