Terry Rodgers | The Apotheosis Of Pleasure

Terry Rodgers is a realist known for his contemporary character studies. While his earlier paintings often contemplated personal and family relationships in brightly lit outdoor settings wrought with pale, intense, high-keyed colors, his recent paintings conjure up aVague Inferencesvision of the private nightlife of America’s privileged youth.

Klaxons | new album: Myths Of The Near Future

HMV describes Klaxons as "acid-rave sci-fi punk-funk", while on their MySpace page they are described as 'Screamo / Happy Hardcore / Pop'. Along with Shitdisco they are one of the bands dubbed part of the 'New Rave' movement, a term coined by Angular Records founder Joe Daniel who released their first single. Although the accessible side of their sound shows the influence of the art rock explosion of the 2000s, they pretend to draw upon some less common influences, notably the rave culture of the 1990s, which they appropriate and redefine in what they think is a post-modern fashion.

"Relationships are difficult things. You fall in love, split up, thinkthings will never be the same again, get back together, get caughtmasturbating in other peoples gardens (What? What do you mean that’s never happened to you?)…
It’s a bit like that with Rusu, Flore and myself. We’ve had our goodtimes, we’ve had our bad times, but I’m proud to say that we’re back, (in the words of the inimitable Take That), ‘Back For Good’. It’s one full year since we last were together, sat round the turntable, like a proper family. I trust you’ll be able to join for our reunion. Let’s make the most of it while it lasts…

David M Bowers Artwork

Upon first glance Bowers work seems to take you back to periods of painting long gone. However, Bowers paintings incorporate modern themes and ideas. There is always a message in his work. For him the idea is the most challenging and rewarding part of the painting. Symbolism is a main ingredient in his work. Bowers would never be satisfied painting a bowl of fruit or mundane landscape. These subjects would bore him to tears.

Rokolectiv 2007
Festival de muzica electronica si arte vizuale conexe
23, 24, 25 martie 2007
Coduri | Codes

(RO) A doua editie a festivalului Rokolectiv va avea loc la sfarsitul lunii martie si va aduce in fata publicului roman 16 live-act-uri, conferinte, dezbateri, screening-uri. Pe langa deja clasicul raport sunet-imagine in performance-ul live, Rokolectiv pune in discutie relatia dintre genuri muzicale electronice si coduri socio-culturale. Pe scena romaneasca, muzica electronica e inca perceputa ca o diviziune de genuri, fiecare cu coduri urbane si sociale specifice, cu un public inca segregat. De multe ori aceste coduri sunt specifice contextului romanesc si difera de cel international. Programul din acest an reflecta tocmai tendinta de estompare a diferentelor de cod/gen, a raporturilor experimental/popular, dance/non-dance, analog/digital, mainstream/alternativ.
Programul Rokolectiv din 2007 propune un melanj de genuri, moduri si tehnici de abordare a muzicii electronice si a artelor vizuale nascute in relatie cu ea. Rokolectiv 2007 va avea o sectiune speciala, Out of France, ce va prezenta cateva exemple de performance-uri inovative ale unor artisti din noul val francez. Printre ei, revelatia anului, Nôze, grup din care face parte Nicolas Sfintescu, un nume cu rezonante romanesti. Freak-house show fara limite. Veti mai avea parte de orchestra mecanica de roboti artizanali a compozitorului francez Pierre Bastien si de un concert surpriza «la rece», nemediat electronic, precum si de cateva descoperiri din Japonia.
Printre numele deja confirmate se numara si Thomas Brinkmann (DE), Felix Kubin (DE) si Jimmy Edgar (USA).

Jill Greenberg

Over the last fifteen years, Greenberg has made memorable images of many of the world’s most recognizable celebrities, in addition to creating a recognizable filter of vision itself. An early adopter of digital effects, Greenberg has developed a world that is more intense, more razor-sharp, let’s say supra-real, than the one in which we actually reside. Jill Greenberg creates portraits that seize our attention, that create an altered universe staring back at us.

For the series “Monkey Portraits”, Greenberg has created a series of monkey portraits and asks us to consider, in another way, where we are coming from. We look into her monkey’s expressions, their faces - their peculiar physiognomy - and somehow see ourselves. It is frightening and disorienting and exhilarating and awesome. She mischievously shows us another type of mirror-stage, where we confront an ancient and distorted reflection, another startling spectacle, and try to make sense of who, or what we are seeing. By intentionally anthropomorphizing her monkeys, we can’t help but identify with their gaze, and be reminded of people we know, expressions that we have seen before.

Van Arno

His ongoing fascination with the imagery of religion and its use of the heroic figure continues to find new relevance recently, as American values are examined at home and abroad. Although, Van Arno has been exploring non-narrative themes; recently, his focus remains on the figure, and its power to engage the viewer.

Cornelius | Beep It

'Beep it' / from album 'Sensuous' / directed by Koichiro Tsujikawa
(also check the video for 'Fit Song')

One of the few Japanese artists to make a significant impact overseas, Cornelius a.k.a. Keigo Oyamada has played a leading role in the development of Japanese music, art, and fashion since the early 1990s. Oyamada started his professional music career in the late 1980s when he was still in high school as guitarist for the short lived Lollypop Sonic. The band soon changed its name to Flipper's Guitar. Flipper's Guitar hijacked elements of swinging 60s London, Brian Wilson, French movies, psychedelia, and myriad other sources, refracting them back as something wholly original and fresh. Now is one of Japan’s most innovative and respected musicians. Live performances are an extension of Cornelius recordings, incorporating trippy lightshows, karate apes, and other elements that both complement and are complemented by his music. In addition to his own music, Oyamada’s list of collaborators reads like a who’s who of modern music, including Beck, Blur, and The Avalanches. He is also involved in the design and marketing of cutting-edge merchandise, including a limited edition cardboard turntable, unique watches, action figures, and headphones.
