CRISPR technology to cure sickle cell disease at UIC

University of Illinois Chicago is one of the U.S. sites participating in clinical trials to cure severe red blood congenital diseases such as sickle cell anemia or Thalassemia by safely modifying the DNA of patients’ blood cells.

The first cases treated with this approach were recently published in an article co-authored by Dr. Damiano Rondelli, the Michael Reese Professor of Hematology at the UIC College of Medicine. The article reports two patients have been cured of beta thalassemia and sickle cell disease after their own genes were edited with CRISPR-Cas9 technology. The two researchers who invented this technology received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020.  

In the paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine, CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing for Sickle Cell Disease and β-Thalassemia, researchers reported gene editing modified the DNA of stem cells by deleting the gene BCL11A, the gene responsible for suppressing fetal hemoglobin production. By doing so, stem cells start producing fetal hemoglobin so that patients with congenital hemoglobin defects (beta thalassemia or sickle cell disease) make enough fetal hemoglobin to overcome the effect of the defective hemoglobin that causes their disease.  

The advantage of this approach is that it uses the patient’s cells with no need for a donor. Also, the gene manipulation does not use a viral vector as with other gene therapy studies but is done with electroporation (quick production of pores into the cells with high voltage) which is known to have low risk of off-target gene activation, according to Rondelli.  

Sickle cell disease is an inherited defect of the hemoglobin that causes the red blood cells to become crescent-shaped. These cells can lyse and obstruct small blood vessels, depriving the body’s tissues of oxygen. The disease can cause extreme pain and damage the lungs, heart, kidneys and liver. Beta thalassemia is a blood disorder that reduces the production of hemoglobin — the iron-containing protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to cells throughout the body. In people with beta thalassemia, low levels of hemoglobin lead to a lack of oxygen in many parts of the body.

The first two patients to receive the treatment have had successful results and continue to be monitored. Rondelli is on the steering committee for an international clinical trial, with UIC being the only site in Chicago. Although the trial is at an early stage and the first patients will be followed for some time before expanding the numbers worldwide, UIC will be among the few sites ready for this treatment.

“It is a great privilege for UIC to be part of this international study and I hope that in the future we will have our own patients undergo this procedure,” Rondelli said.

“UIC and UI Health is an ideal place for any cellular therapy in sickle cell disease because of our experience and success in stem cell transplantation in these patients. In fact, over 75% of sickle cell patients can be cured with a transplant, and we have already done over 50 cases,” he said.  

While a full-match donor is still the first line of treatment, finding a compatible stem cell donor is challenging. For this reason, many centers including UI health have developed strategies to successfully utilize donors who are only 50% compatible, called haploidentical donors. However, according to Rondelli, in about 30% to 50% of the patients, there are still multiple barriers that can limit the possibility of a donor-derived transplant, such as a family donor availability, or the presence of antibodies in the patient caused by many prior red cell transfusions, that would reject the donor stem cells.

“This gene-editing procedure has the potential to overcome all of these. Cells of the same patient can be manipulated and can be transplanted without the risk of rejection or to cause immune reactions from the donor (graft-versus-host disease),” said Rondelli. “For the almost 900 patients with SC coming to our hospital, this should be great news.”

Patients who in the future will participate in the trial will have cells sent to the CRISPR manufacturing site where the cells undergo genetic editing. Patients then receive chemotherapy prior to the edited stem cells being re-inserted into their bloodstream.  

Researchers hope this treatment can be a game-changer for world health. Sickle cell disease and beta thalassemia and other congenital blood disorders are major diseases in the world. Rondelli said 5 million people only in Nigeria suffer from sickle cell disease, and many others in Africa. Also, currently, 30% of transplants being performed in India, which has 1.3 billion people, are to treat severe beta thalassemia, he added.

“The hope is that this treatment will be accessible and affordable in many low-middle-income countries the Middle East, Africa, and India, and have an important impact in the lives of many people in these areas,” said Rondelli.

Why Did Jennifer Lawrence Take a Huge Loss on Her NYC Penthouse?

Compass, Stephane Cardinale - Corbis

Jennifer Lawrence has finally sold her palatial penthouse in Manhattan for $9.9 million. The transaction was reported by Variety. Originally listed for $15.45 million, Lawrence’s lair was most recently on the market for $12 million.

The “Hunger Games” star, now 29, was clearly hungry for a sale—her deluxe digs had been on the market for about a year. And she gave up on breaking even on the sale of her Upper East Side abode, putting it on the market for less than the $15.6 million she paid for it back in 2016. 

That year, she was named by Forbes as the “highest-paid actress in the world,” for the second year in a row, and raked in a reported $46 million in 12 months. 

So while the A-lister is bankable at the box office, her real estate acumen is up for debate.

If the final sale price is correct, J-Law is out millions, especially when you factor in transaction fees and decorating costs. 

We asked some luxury real estate experts to give us their views on the transaction. Here are a few factors to consider with this deeply discounted luxury sale. 

Let’s take a tour

First, let’s peek inside. No question, the upscale residence is undeniably gorgeous.

Entered via a key-locked elevator into a vestibule, the 4,000-square-foot penthouse, atop a 30-story high-rise, features loads of light, high ceilings, and 3,000 square feet of outdoor space spread over two floors.

Jennifer Lawrence’s penthouse includes a two-floor terrace.

Indoors, the layout includes three bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and a great room with a two-sided fireplace. Walls of windows offer East River and downtown Manhattan views. The chef’s kitchen includes a casual dining nook.

Separated by a long hallway, the bedroom wing features two en suite bedrooms, a powder room, and a main suite with a dressing room, terrace access, and a bath. The condo also includes a family room and an in-unit washer/dryer.

Outdoors, the endless al fresco space includes a built-in table tennis table, full kitchen, and multiple seating areas, including an outdoor living area with gas fireplace.

Building amenities include full-time door attendants, concierge, and a drive-in garage that accesses the elevators, a definite must for a star craving privacy from paparazzi.

Other features for residents include a massive fitness center with a pool, as well as bike storage.

Location

Given the apartment’s obvious appeal, why the need for a price cut? It’s a tired real estate cliché, but the location of Lawrence’s place is less than ideal—with one exception.

The very far East Side isn’t exactly a lively locale. The upscale but nontrendy area isn’t where you’d imagine a young movie star winding up.

“It’s not near anything,” says New York City luxury real estate agent Dolly Lenz.

She notes that the desolate destination is situated between the United Nations and a number of health care centers, and not much else.

“It’s not a location that New Yorkers ever were attracted to.” 

And for a buyer willing to shell out north of $10 million, there are choices in the city.

“At that price point, you really have your pick of where to live. We would not recommend to someone to spend $15 million there,” says Jennifer Lenz, managing director of Dolly Lenz Real Estate.

However, the area is close to a number of world-class hospitals, such as New York-Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center, the Hospital for Special Surgery, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

So if you’re a doctor, or in quick need of one, this location is an absolute dream. And at this price point, perhaps you have a car and driver at the ready, which means the inconvenient location isn’t a big whoop.

Was the price right?

Lenz added that the movie star “paid a little too much when she bought it.”

Which leads to a buyer’s ultimate dilemma—the decision to take a hefty loss. Clearly, the actress knew she wouldn’t get all her money back, given that she placed the apartment on the market for under what she paid. But don’t blame the lovely digs.

“It didn’t depreciate. She paid too much,” Dolly Lenz says.

The pandemic surely added to the stress of finding a buyer, with the Manhattan market grinding to a halt in the early spring. The slowdown may have contributed to the additional price drop.

“Given the price reduction history of this unit, she was likely wanting to unload the property, even if she had to take a loss, which isn’t always a bad thing for tax purposes,” says Cara Ameer, a bicoastal agent with Coldwell Banker licensed in California and Florida. “The New York City market had been slowing down prior to the pandemic, and inventory had been building.”

Ameer adds that the confluence of events “created the perfect storm for someone to find a deal.”

Time to move on

At the same time, the star has been juggling other New York real estate, and certainly didn’t need to pay extra costs for a place she isn’t using. She may not have wanted to bide her time to find the right buyer willing to pay top dollar.

“The market is particularly challenging at the high end. There are limitations to finding a buyer who would want to and could afford to invest in this home,” broker Becki Danchik of Warburg Realty says.

“If she absolutely wanted to sell without waiting out a slow process, it was a smart business decision to accept such a deep discount.”

Lawrence may not have wanted the added burden of managing a home sale on top of her other life plans.

Says Noemi Bitterman, an agent with Warburg Realty, “People sell fast and at any expense in a divorce settlement, an estate sale where heirs are eager to collect, a move, or getting married to a partner who lives somewhere else. Whatever the case may be, sellers are willing to take a loss and move on.”

Actually, Lawrence did get married last year, to the art dealer Cooke Maroney. And yes, the couple were reportedly hunting for a new nest in the city.

The Oscar winner also owns a condo in Tribeca that she’s previously offered for rent. And on the West Coast, she has a place in Beverly Hills, which she purchased in 2014 for $8.2 million.

The listing agent, Pamela D’Arc with Compass, declined to comment.

Genes sow seeds of neuropsychiatric diseases even before birth

From early prenatal development through childhood, the prefrontal cortex of the human brain undergoes an avalanche of developmental activity. In some cases, it also contains seeds of neuropsychiatric illnesses and conditions such as autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia, according to a new genetic analysis led by researchers at Yale University and the University of California-San Francisco (UCSF).

Previous studies have identified DNA variants linked to neuropsychiatric illnesses, but it has been unclear just when those variations might trigger functional changes in the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex, a region closely linked to neuropsychiatric, cognitive, and emotional disorders. This new study, published April 7 in the journal Cell Reports, added a new dimension to prior research. The scientists also measured the amount of RNA, which provides a picture of overall gene activity, in 176 tissue samples across a variety of developmental stages to determine how and when DNA variants influence brain function.

This is… an unprecedented resource for understanding how individual genetic differences might lead to functional differences.

“This is the first large cohort to profile DNA and RNA both in prenatal and postnatal human brain samples, making it an unprecedented resource for understanding how individual genetic differences might lead to functional differences,” said Yale’s Sirisha Pochareddy, an associate research scientist in neuroscience and co-lead author of the study.

Understanding how genetic variation and changes in function are linked will help scientists understand how alterations of brain development can lead to schizophrenia and autism later in life, said the authors of the study. Since the research tracked thousands of variants associated with thousands of genes across the entire genome, scientists can identify groups of genes that regulate distinct biological processes and study how they can lead to disease, they said.

“Human brain development is an incredibly complex and dynamic process, and any disruption along the way can have profound consequences on later brain function,” said co-lead author Donna Werling, formerly of UCSF and now at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “Interestingly, we found that some genetic variants have stronger effects on RNA expression before birth and other variants with strongest effects after birth.”

Studying these age-specific effects can open more doors for learning about the mechanisms behind brain disorders, the authors said.

Yale’s Nenad Sestan, the Harvey and Kate Cushing Professor in the Department of Neuroscience, and Stephan Sanders, an associate professor in the Weill Institute for Neurosciences at University of California-San Francisco are co-senior authors of the study.

Pochareddy, Werling and Joon-Yong An, formerly of UCSF, are co-lead authors, as is Jinmyung Choi, formerly of Yale.

Informed women are healthy women

On Thursday, April 4, 2019, the Prince’s Palace, and other institutions, were illuminated in bright red in support of the initiative lead by Chantal Ravera and the members of Femmes Leaders Mondiales Monaco(FLMM), who organized their third fundraising Gala under the theme “Save Women’s hearts.”  The event took place at the Yacht Club in the presence of Princess Stephanie of Monaco and more than 300 guests. (Photo: Prince’s Palace illuminated in Red @Celina Lafuente de Lavotha)

Among the dignitaries present were Marine de Carne-Trecesson, France’s Ambassador to Monaco, Stephane Valeri, President of the National Council, Didier Gamerdinger, Minister of Health & Social Affairs, and other personalities such as Dr. Jean-Joseph Pastor.

In a jubilant and cheerful mood, women all dressed in red and a few good men, gathered to defend a cause still little known around the world: the risk of cardiovascular disease in women.

They joined the Go Red for Women movement launched in 2004 by the American Heart Association, to empower women to take charge of their health, increasing awareness about the danger of heart disease in women worldwide, and save lives. The cause was adopted in France in 2015 by Isabelle Weill, President of the AJILA Foundation, and in Monaco by Femmes Leaders Mondiales Monaco with the support of Princess Stephanie.

Art saves lives

The funds raised through the auction of 28 beautiful works of art, generously donated by the artists, will benefit the Princess Grace Hospital Center and the Cardio-Thoracic Center of Monaco to finance cardiac interventions for underprivileged women who reside close to the Principality.

The total amount collected could not be unveiled at the time this article was published, but Chantal Ravera informed us it should be equivalent to the funds raised the previous year of around Euro 40,000.

Draw-Me a World

Draw-Me a World is the first of a triptych contest dedicated to the arts: visual arts, music, and photography, to create awareness about the need to protect women’s hearts.  FLMM launched the drawing contest in 2018 with the participation of 35 countries. During the Gala dinner, the three winning entries were unveiled, and a book including all the drawings was issued and distributed to the guests and will be sent to all the participating schools.

The winning entries were:

Makef – Benin

Lorenzo Gramaccia – Italy

Joyce Tasang Man Pun – Mauritius

(Photo: Princess Stephanie, the three winners of the contest Draw-Me a World and artists who donated artworks @Alain Duprat, NewDay Monaco)

The prestigious members of the jury who selected the winners, and who also donated their artwork for the auction were: Mateo MORNAR, MOYA, Anthony ALBERTI aka Mr ONE TeasLaurence JENKELL, Fiona TAN, and BELI. They were all present at the Gala.

Chantal Ravera announced the third contest is about music and is entitled “Listen to a world of music.”

Prevention is better than cure

Worldwide, women live an average of four years longer than men. Globally, cardiovascular disease, often thought to be a “male” problem; in reality, it is the number one killer of women according to the World Heart Federation (WHO). Heart complications in women are under-recognized and undertreated.

The good news is that most CDV diseases are preventable if risks factors are controlled, such as remaining active, stop smoking and protecting from tobacco, maintaining a healthy weight, checking your blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose regularly, eating healthy and being aware of the warning signs.

The Monegasque association published a Prevention Booklet with a compilation of an extensive list of healthy recommendations, prefaced by Prince Albert and Princess Stephanie, and supported by a Scientific Committee of the CHPG and CMM. The 50,000 copies of the booklet have been distributed not only in the Principality, but also in Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, Russia, England, USA, and Africa, plus the UN, WHO and the European Council.

“Berlin Kabarett” de Stephan Druet au Théâtre de Poche-Montparnasse

Miroir de l'histoire...Ça commence tout doucement, nous voici dans le Berlin de la fin des années vingts, on a dans la tête les images de Dietrich, Fosse, on est « bienvenus, wilkommen, welcome... », la musique joue Kurt Weill « Moon of Alabama », on se prend à fredonner, les travestis sont provocants et comme il se doit décadents. Le décor est planté...Et puis les accords dissonants installent bientôt un malaise, les placards des loges dévoilent autre chose que perruques et guêpières...

Marisa Berenson, toujours féline, sexy et ambiguë, toute de cuir et strass vêtue devient Kristen, femme qui mène la danse, sans scrupule dans son cabaret à l'aube du grand bouleversement nauséabond qui va déferler sur toute l'Europe...Elle préfère les Nazis et leur pouvoir à son fils qu'elle traite de tapette. Le rideau est déchiré...

Stephan Druet, aprèsL'histoire du soldat, sait à nouveau occuper l'espace intimiste du Théâtre de Poche, comme s'il réussissait à en pousser les murs, grâce à une scénographie étonnante de réalisme. Il nous propose un Berlin Kabarett aux nuances expressionnistes, toujours sur le fil, entre dérision et tragédie, dans la grande tradition de cet entre-deux-guerres allemand, et qui résonne toujours bizarrement à nos oreilles aujourd'hui lorsqu'on parle « d'extrême droite à plus de trente pour cents aux élections... ». Les hyènes en chemises brunes sont à l'affut des juifs, des communistes et des homosexuels...Les triangles vont soudain devenir jaunes, roses et de bien d'autres couleurs...

photographie Victor Tonnelli

Sebastian Galeota, dans le rôle du fils Viktor, remarquable dans toutes ses prestations scéniques, est parfaitement entouré de tous les acteurs/musiciens. Les bas résilles et le grotesque des chansons provoquent un rire grinçant et embarrassé. Stephan Druet fait ainsi apparaître dans le miroir de loge un moment de notre histoire que l'on voudrait disparu à jamais. Mais son reflet, en ces temps de regain de rejet de l'autre et d'exclusion par les populistes de tous bords, nous apparaît tristement teinté d'une inquiétante réalité. Comme si le passé devenait soudain prémonitoire...

Embattled London Art Market Has Become a Testing Ground for New Gallery Models

Frieze London, 2016. Photo by Benjamin Westoby for Artsy.

“How’s London?” an American gallerist asked me over the summer. He was preparing for his umpteenth Frieze and I could hear he wanted good news. I hesitated to answer that London was more depressed that I’d ever known it in my 12 years in the U.K. From across the pond, the issue of Brexit can seem parochial—particularly in light of persistent political turmoil in the U.S.—but its impact could be felt worldwide.

Yet if you look at the London art world hard enough there are signs that the primary market has yet to lose its oomph. Frieze Week will usher in a fresh crop of new spaces to the capital, set up by galleries either moving in or consolidating their London presence. There’s a genuine feeling among the contemporary art crowd that people are rallying together to protest what can feel like madness all around. Brexiteers might accuse them of being a “liberal elite” preaching to the converted, but Londoners won’t let go.

At a national level, outside the art world’s bubble, the picture is grim. The delusion and arrogance of the British officials in charge of negotiating with the EU would be comical if they weren’t seriously risking the prospects of an entire nation. Hate crimes have increased by over 200 percent since the referendum. When we thought the tabloids couldn’t possibly get worse, they are now overtly “policing” the democratic process, labeling, for instance, High Court judges “Enemies of the People” when they ruled that only Parliament was able to trigger Article 50. European nationals like myself are getting used to being asked routinely if they’re going to get kicked out.

Banks decamping to the EU could seriously weaken London’s position as a financial center, a position key to its art-world stature. And as investors wait for developments in the Brexit negotiations to back the pound, the currency has fallen to an eight-year low against the euro. A weak British pound might be good for buyers of art, real estate, and other commodities from overseas, but for Londoners the city is still eye-wateringly expensive. Artists, curators, and their ilk are starting to wonder if it’s all really worth it—and are increasingly considering Brussels, Lisbon, and Prague as viable alternatives.

Brexit cannot be blamed for the string of recent gallery closures, among them Laura Bartlett and Wilkinson. But it certainly doesn’t breed confidence, and its effects on the art economy, which remains fragile at the lower end of the market, are still largely unknown. Yet London, ever multicultural and pragmatic, is clearly determined to fight the nationalist tendencies gripping much of the country and to maintain its prime spot on the global business map.

Last April, Frieze entered the political fray. Hoping to assuage its exhibitors’ concerns over the U.K. exiting the EU, fair management sent a set of recommendations to Britain’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport and to the Creative Industries Federation. Recommendations included the maintenance of the Temporary Admission policy (which allows artworks imported on a temporary basis to be tax-exempt) and of the freedom of movement for people, augmented, if needed, by “a specialist category providing artists and art workers fast-track entry for specific events.” Freedom of movement has been a particularly sore point in the Brexit talks, which have continued in Brussels this week. As the fair opens the doors of its 15th edition on October 4th, government reassurances on this or any other points are still a long way away.

Galleries aren’t waiting around to see what happens. The Berlin mainstay König Galerie opens a 3,750-square foot London space in a former Marylebone car park on Thursday; it’s perhaps the most highly anticipated event this season. The gallery-cum-shop, König Archiv & Souvenir, will feature artworks including Julian Rosefeldt’s filmic investigation of Germany’s past Deep Gold (2013–14), as well as books, “wearables,” and merch. According to London director Zhoe Granger, formerly of Arcadia Missa, the gallery saw Brexit as a potential opportunity.

“Despite being adverse to the decision politically, I feel that Brexit is propelling the art world forward with a new sense of anticipation, maybe giving it the kick that it needed in the U.K.,” she says. “Any time of political unrest always breeds powerful emotion and therefore interesting artwork.”

Sprüth Magers’s London director Andreas Gegner says he’s also certain that Brexit won’t throw the London art world off pace. “London has worked its way up to be on a par with New York over the past decade, becoming the primary hub for the art market this side of the Atlantic,” he says. “The reasons for London’s rise were varied and lay beyond the benefits of its EU membership. Brexit won’t put an end to it.”

The German gallery has just strengthened its position in the capital, refurbishing its Grafton Street home. The elegant 18th-century mansion has doubled its exhibition space, which now spreads over two floors, and boasts another new, six-meter-high gallery in the basement. The choice of YBA Gary Hume (who left his alma mater White Cube a couple of years ago) for the opening show is meant as further proof of the gallery’s commitment to British culture.

Several homegrown galleries, big and small, are also making strides, and London’s gallery map is shifting. While Mayfair and the East End remain the two main hubs, dealers appear increasingly keen to explore other areas. The idea that you had to be within one mile of Claridge’s to do serious business is beginning to lose sway.

Project Native Informant founder Stephan Tanbin Sastrawidjaja has swapped his former garage behind London’s iconic luxury hotel for a recently converted high-rise in the City, an area which until now has had virtually no galleries. “Audiences in London are adventurous and willing to come to new destinations if they feel a strong incentive,” says the dealer, who is currently showing new work by rising star Juliana Huxtable. Dublin gallery Mother’s Tankstation will be joining PNI next week, opening a yearlong project space in the same building with a solo show by Yuri Pattison.

Artist Ed Fornieles, who has been strongly associated with the “post-internet” generation, has just resettled in the capital after a four-year stint abroad. Brexit and the subsequent marginal dip in Central London prices, Fornieles says, allowed him to secure a live/work space in Soho, which he intends to turn it into a “meeting place,” renewing with London’s tradition of artist-run-spaces.The Studio, as he’s dubbed the space, will officially open during Frieze Week with a two-day summit bringing together artists and Live Action Role Play practitioners.

“London has an intensity, an overflow of human beings, so it’s very useful and nurturing for the production of works,” he says.

Meanwhile, East End torchbearer Herald St has inaugurated a new space in Bloomsbury, a stone’s throw from the British Museum, with an exhibition by sculptor Michael Dean. The Sunday Painter has left the South London district of Peckham—something most of us would have thought unthinkable—and graduated to Vauxhall, joining Cabinet, Corvi-Mora, non-profit space Gasworks, and Damien Hirst’s Newport Street Gallery.

This spurt of new openings shouldn’t overshadow the acute and well-identified problems many galleries are facing—issues that predate Brexit and afflict the art world internationally. Yet it suggests a spirit of experimentation particularly welcome in these dark times, a spirit to which established operations are also contributing. Both The Approach and Blain|Southern are launching project spaces: The Approach Annex will open with a display of works by Lisa Oppenheim and John Stezaker, while art critic Tom Morton leads Blain|Southern’s year-long curatorial experiment, Lodger.

This might be a case of adapt or die. Following the recent spate of gallery closures in London and New York, galleries are becoming increasingly aware that, in such a fiercely competitive environment, sticking to what they know is no longer enough. Head-scratching abounds about new gallery models, particularly those which could bypass crippling real estate costs.

The team behind the new venture Cromwell Place believes it has cracked that nut. Located in five period townhouses in the heart of London’s Museum quarter in South Kensington, the art hub will function as a WeWork-style members’ club when it opens in autumn 2019. Membership, which entails a £4,000 ($5,391) initiation fee will give galleries access to art spaces, including 25 offices and 16 exhibition halls of various sizes, charged on a pay-per-use basis. Services such as installation, shipping, and the marketing of members’ shows, will be pooled and managed on site.

The concept of a purpose-built gallery hub is not new. H Queen’s, which will soon host David Zwirner and Hauser & Wirth in Hong Kong, is a key example. But Cromwell Place, which cost £20 million ($26.7 million) to build, claims to be the first art business to offer flexible work space to the art world. It targets both out-of-town galleries looking to pop up in the capital, small and mid-size operations looking for alternatives to bricks-and-mortar, as well as fledgling businesses.

“The world is changing,” says Cromwell Place’s creative director, John Martin. “People don’t want huge financial burdens on their shoulders; they want to be nimble.”

The model encourages galleries to function like dealerships, staging shows as and when they need it. It also puts pressure on art fairs like Art Basel, which still insist that exhibitors have a permanent exhibition space. Martin says that this requirement was reasonable to expect of galleries 15 or 20 years ago.

“Now I don’t think it’s defensible,” he says. “I think it will change.”

The list of Cromwell Place galleries is yet to be announced, and it remains to be seen whether collectors will buy into the idea of their galleries becoming ad hoc showrooms. But if successful, Cromwell Place’s model could easily be scaled to other major and emerging art capitals and could bring significant changes to the nature of the business and the way art is consumed.

So, how’s London? It’s embattled, yes, but it’s not giving up. Londoners’ profoundly global outlook, can-do attitude, and ingrained business knowhow continue to thrive. I’ll never call Brexit an opportunity. It’s a fiasco brought in by petty political calculations, lies, and fear, and an insult to the 3.6 million European nationals that have chosen to call Britain home. But it’s forced all of us to choose our camp, and Londoners’ position is clear. Mayor Sadiq Khan’s post-Brexit campaign couldn’t have been more on point: #londonisopen.

Wir, ein gemischter, mehrstimmiger Chor, stellen uns diese Frage immer wieder neu und haben dazu – gemeinsam mit dem Roten Wecker – einige abendfüllende Musikprogramme entwickelt. Damit treten wir auch regelmäßig auf, so z.B. in München im Gasteig und in der Pasinger Fabrik oder in Augsburg und Berlin bei den Brecht-Tagen.

In unserem Repertoire finden sich „Klassiker“ von Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Tucholsky, Jura Soyfer, Hanns Eisler und Kurt Weill ebenso wie Friedenslieder, internationale Lieder oder Lieder, die einfach nur Spaß machen.

Juni 2017 in München Auftakt Marienplatz 13:00 Uhr Schlusskundgebung vor der Bayerischen Staatskanzlei Seit der Ankunft vieler Flüchtlinge im Sommer 2015 sind Viele in Bewegung geraten. Mit großem Engagement traten Tausende ehrenamtliche Flüchtlingshelfer*innen für eine großartige Willkommenskultur ein. Nun stehen Geflüchtete und Unterstützer*innen vor einem Scherbenhaufen. Trotz großen Bemühens beim Deutscherwerb, bei der Suche nach Ausbildungs- und Arbeitsplätzen wird dies e Arbeit von zuständigen Behörden, von der bayerischen Staatsregierung und der Bundesregierung unterlaufen. Über 100 afghanische Männer wurden in den letzten Monaten von Deutschland nach Kabul abgeschoben. Viele der Betroffenen arbeiteten jahrelang hier und waren bestens integriert; einige standen kurz vor ihrer Hochzeit. Andere wurden abgeschoben, obwohl sie schwer krank sind. Die Zahl derer, die von Abschiebung bedroht sind, ist um ein Vielfaches höher. Flüchtlinge mit sogenannter „geringer Bleibeperspektive“, viele aus Afghanistan, bekommen Arbeitsverbote, sie dürfen nicht in Ausbildung, häufig gibt es nicht einmal einen Deutschkurs oder ein Praktikum. Die Bedrohung durch Abschiebungen und Arbeitsverbote wirken wie ein Fallbeil gegen das Bemühen um Integration. Es verurteilt die Betroffenen zum Nichtstun und treibt viele in eine psychische Ausnahmesituation. Es ist ein Schlag ins Gesicht für alle Haupt- und Ehrenamtlichen, für Schulen und Betriebe. Und es hat eine enorme Vergeudung von Steuergeldern zur Folge.
