Yvette Mattern
Yvette Mattern was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico and now lives between New York and Berlin, Germany. She works mainly in temporal media such as video and film, which she fuses with elements of performance, public art and sculpture. Recently her work has been involved in exploring the concept of 'Liminality' as a metaphysical subjective conscious state of being, specifically as its manifest relationship to representation, history and identity.
Yvette Mattern will present her first solo exhibition in Berlin curated by Shaheen Merali at Freies Museum, in April 2010. Her ‘Global Rainbow’ will be a featured installation as part of ‘Futurity Now’ exhibition, Transmediale, 2010, Berlin as 'From one to Many, Global Rainbow'. Selected group exhibitions in 2009 include: ‘The last day of Magic,’ 53rd Venice Biennale Satellite, ZEIGEN. AN AUDIO TOUR THROUGH BERLIN BY KARIN SANDER at Temporare Kunsthalle, Berlin ‘Auf Wiedersehen Berlin’ at the E-Flux Building, Berlin, ‘Carnival Within’, UferHallen, Berlin, ‘truestories.truesuccess’ at the Freies Museum, Berlin, and ‘Exhibition’, 211 Elisabeth Street, NYC.

Answer:
Dear Yvette,
i will delete you from my receiving mail after this message. i have saved every single email you've written to me. all the way back. that is to say, i am equipped. unfortunately you burn bridges like it was going out of style.
everyone knows when someone like you gushes the "N" word as an insult, you have reached your very bottom to get a rise. what fuckin people acosted you? NO ONE is interested in you anymore yvette.
Don't worry your desperate head,
Don't give a fuck now. you are indeed a cloud of locusts and all who know you now avoid you. people want to take out police protection against you because you say dangerous things...
ON RECORD!
you fuckin ninny. how stupid can you get? "someone's gonna die when i return to berlin!" you are indeed out of your confused mind. when i said it's about the work, it IS about the work. not your life in everone's face. and the video on your mom not wanting to recognize certain elements of her history...look who's fuckin talkin. you played me so hard with that Nka piece. you are an astounding hypocrite. ain't nothing Black in you.
you are a white hispanic with german blood, pimpin Black culture. STOP NOW or i will expose your ass for what you really are: a bitch with unlimited rage. you hate the fuckin world for reasons no one can quite cypher through a Blackness you only got through osmosis. no wonder Tate dumped you and AJ and all the rest.
you got a black hole in your soul and need to fix it. just get your flat ass back to real work and discover liberation, salvation...the absence of mitigation.
