Stedelijk Museum's guards are keeping an eye on Kompromat. Do we look so suspicious?- KS

Katja Sokolova

Why Lithuanians don't dance

and the Austrians don't like prizes

Awards are never fair. And they are never fun. Except maybe for those who take part and win. And even that not always. However, 5 internationally famous artists on show and 50.000 euros in prize can definitely make Kompromat get off the couch and head to the Stedelijk Museum CS Amsterdam.

Secret agent Sokolova smoking nervously at the entrance to the SM.-

DEIMANTAS NARKEVIČIUS - one of the Vincent Award 2008 nominees.

Curator Maaike Gouwenberg has something to share with Kompromat.-

When she was in Vilnius 3 years ago, she asked Deimantas for a dance at some opening party. He refused...
How could he... What's wrong with Lithuanian guys?
