Fei Lai on “Persistent Deviation/ Corruptionists” (1998) at 10 North 3rd Ring Road, Bldg #3, Basement Floor Beijing

““Persistent Deviation/Corruptionists” only existed for a few hours on 7 November 1998 in the basement of a residential building in a quiet, nondescript neighbourhood in northern Beijing. Despite its ephemerality, it is remembered as one of the most dynamic moments of the city’s experimental art scene in the 1990s.”

Interview: Peter Kubelka

In the beginning there was energy, matter, and light. But the most important element in human evolution could have been the kiss of fire that propelled human evolution forward and set the stage for the mother of all arts: cooking. Austrian filmmaker Peter Kubelka talks to Asad Raza about a life in film and how the art of cooking isn’t hard to master.
