Lorenzo Benedetti shares his links

Now on view untill the 14th of December is the first exhibition of the new director of De Vleeshal Lorenzo Benedetti. For The unresolved tension between two forms of resistance the artist Fernando Sanchez Castillo, who explores the meaning of symbols and monuments in his work through different media, was inspired by the Gothic architecture of De Vleeshal. Lorenzo Benedetti compiled a list of his favourite links.

The best place to spend a lot of time on the internet is the almost unlimited ubuweb, an archive where you can find masterpieces, forgotten works and new things.

A practical overview of exhibitions, places and artists is the clear guide www.kunstaspekte.de specially for Germany and Central Europe.

For sound projects Radiodays made by the Curatorial Training Programme of De Appel in Amsterdam several years ago, and Kunstradio. Focusing more on electronic music raster-noton.

A nice site for a gallery is the one of Hoet/Bakaert in Gent and for the artist I like the introduction walk made by Olaf Breuning to his studio.

Besides very practical links like Abebooks, to buy books,
and translation sites like dict.leo.org or www.wordreference.com, I keep always sites like www.webdeleuze.com.
