Contemporary art does not inform us about anything. There is more information in today's world than is necessary. We can find information in books, in photographs, in films, videos, in the radio, in magazines, newspapers, on the Internet, in a direct conversation, in telephone conversations, in short texts, and so on. Contemporary art examines the language of these messages.

Since last Summer I have also worked as a coordinating editor of Southeast
Asia for documenta 12 magazine, which is an ambitious project that will
bring magazines (both printed perodcals and on-line media ) into an art
context to connect theory and practise, and the audience and artists for
documenta 12, and beyond, as it is forming also a permanent network of
magazines from all over the world.

During my research in Southeast Asia, I've come across many brilliant and
intelligent editors who are striving to serve the community by providing
citizens with accurate information, critical analysis and educational
materials in a region
where democracy is not yet the norm—not one of the ASEAN nations has an
impeccable reputation for democracy, and freedom of expression is extremely
restricted.
