Julian Rosefeldt’s new thirteen-channel work Manifesto questions the role of the artist in society today. Australian actor, Cate Blanchett, performs the manifestos as a series of striking monologues.
The installation in the amazing Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin – a part of the Nationalgalerie – draws on the writings of Futurists, Dadaists, Fluxus artists, Situtationists and Dogma 95, and the musings of individual artists, architects, dancers and filmmakers. Passing the philosophies of Claes Oldenburg, Yvonne Rainer, Kazimir Malevich, André Breton, Elaine Sturtevant, Sol LeWitt, Jim Jarmusch, and other influencers through his lens, Rosefeldt has edited and reassembled a collage of artists’ manifestos. This is probably the most powerful exhibition TrendEngel has seen in years. Mind-blowing and life altering. Honestly.

No one saw this coming – no one. Suddenly there is a new web series with some of the best actors in the world and everybody is surprised.

There aren’t too many video games these days captivating the imagination of TrendEngel these days. The Witness is a remarkable exception. You awaken, alone, on a strange island full of puzzles that challenge and surprise you. You can’t remember who you are, and you don’t remember how you came to be here, but there’s one thing you can do: explore the island in hope of discovering clues, regaining your memory, and somehow finding your way home. The Witness is a single-player game in an open world with dozens of locations to explore and over 500 puzzles to solve. This game respects you as an intelligent player and it treats your time as precious. There’s no filler; each of those puzzles brings its own new idea into the mix.
