Patrizio Di Massimo, ‘Duet for cannibals’ (2010)
Born as a commission from the city of Milan to make a portrait of African immigrant Abdullay Kadal Traore, ‘Duet for Cannibals’ works as a dialogue between him and the artist. During the dialogue he shows Abdullay a drawing of his and ask him if he would like to make what is shown there for the commission – it’s an erotic position that they should both take.
Andrea Fraser
Andrea Fraser, Untitled (2003)
In Untitled, the artist is seen having sex with an unidentified American collector who paid close to $20,000 to participate in this curious 60-minute work of art. Among the requirements for participation in ”Untitled” were that the artist’s potential collaborator be heterosexual, unmarried and, of course, willing to underwrite the transaction.
As the video begins, Fraser enters a hotel room, her hair swept fetchingly to one side. The setting is standard-issue Hip Hotel: the videotape was filmed, using a single overhead camera, in a room Fraser identified as being at the Royalton Hotel in Manhattan, owned by Ian Schrager. The artist is carrying two glasses, white wine in her left hand and what looks like a highball in her right. The collector enters, and then begins a filmed seduction whose detailed contractual terms were worked out in advance by the artist’s gallery.
General Idea
‘Shut the fuck up’ part I (Death of a Mauve Bat) & part II (Mondo Cane)
‘Shut the fuck up’ part III (Blue) by General Idea.
General Idea was a collective of three artists, Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal and AA Bronson, that existed from 1969 – 1994. General Idea’s work inhabited and subverted forms of popular and media culture, including beauty pageants, boutiques, television talk shows, trade fair pavilions and mass media. From 1987 through 1994 their work addressed the AIDS crisis. Both Zontal and Partz died of AIDS in 1994.

Nickolaj Recke, ‘Tomorrow is today’ (2006)
The video shows two parallel projections, one from each side of the date line, thus conceptually creating a visual space where you can simultaneously perceive two days; a space that does not exists in physical reality and a space where there are principally no todays, just yesterdays and tomorrows.
Tomorrow
Yesterday
