_________________________________________________________________________________________
The 22nd Ateliers Régionaux du FRAC des Pays de Loire in France will host the work of multi-talented artists Mariana Castillo-Deball, Will Holder, Alex Cecchetti, Benoît Maire and Falke Pisano.

8/11 — 22/02 2009
opening 7/11 (6.30pm)

{...} Le travail de Mariana Castillo Deball révèle son intérêt pour les dispositifs d’organisation et de classification de l’information. Livres inachevés, archives incomplètes, objets aux origines oubliées et histoires interrompues [...] les œuvres d’Alex Cecchetti questionnent l’origine et la permanence des mythes et des grands récits dans notre société contemporaine avec une certaine fascination pour la violence [...] Artiste, écrivain, graphiste, éditeur, Will Holder interroge dans les différentes formes que peuvent prendre son travail les articulations entre objet et langage, explorant par exemple la façon dont le texte – sous ses différents aspects – peut prendre forme en trois dimensions et comment la nature figée des objets peut être transformée par l’usage de la langue [...] Utilisant des axiomes philosophiques, des événements historiques et des formes désuètes de l’histoire de l’art comme points de départ, Benoît Maire développe des performances, organise des discussions et use d’objets, de peintures, de dessins et de vidéos pour faire ses expositions [...] Falke Pisano s’interroge sur les conditions d’existence et d’autonomie de ce qu’elle nomme les «objets concrets»

_________________________________________________________________________________________
David Noonan is showing his work at gallery Chisenhale in London until October 26. Run see it!

Noonan presents a series of works comprising monochrome silkscreen on linen collages and clusters of freestanding figurative sculptures which expand his graphic images into a more theatrical space of display. Noonan often works with found photographic imagery taken from performance manuals, textile patterns and archive photographs to make densely layered montages. These works at once suggest specific moments in time and invoke disorientating a-temporal spaces in which myriad possible narratives emerge. The large-scale canvases framing this exhibition depict scenes of role-playing, gesturing characters, and masked figures set within stage-like spaces.

A trend for hand-made poetic work and imitative revisitation/revivalism, be sure (not) to miss Gondry's latest paper-scissor-paste film! If you are in the Big Apple, Michel Gondry is also showing some 'bekind-the-scene' work at Deitch Projects (16•Feb•)


Be Kind Rewind follows Jerry (Jack Black), a junkyard worker who attempts to sabotage a power plant he suspects of causing his headaches. But he inadvertently causes his brain to become magnetized, leading to the unintentional destruction of all the movies in his friend’s (Mos Def) store. In order to keep the store’s one loyal customer, an elderly lady with a tenuous grasp on reality, the pair re-create a long line of films including The Lion King, Rush Hour, Ghostbusters, When We Were Kings, Back to the Future, Driving Miss Daisy, and Robocop, putting themselves and their townspeople into it. They become the biggest stars in their neighborhood.

Bless Bless! (thanks SP for the link). Catalogue design by Mr Raeder!

Bless came to fame in the winter of 97/98, when the models of a Martin Margiela fashion show wore Bless wigs made out of fur. Heralded as one of fashion’s most innovative designers, the Paris and Berlin-based duo (Desiree Heiss and Ines Kaag) quickly refused to capitalize on one milieu. Constantly investigating the boundaries of style, Bless slides from fashion to beauty, interior decoration to art exhibition, collaboration with other brands to stylized advertising.
Their production, which sits on the fine line between art object and design, high function and high fashion, is always unique and marked by the recycling and adaptation of unexpected items put to use in a totally new way.

Toujours in Zürich in the Poster Gallery of the MFG, an exhibition that tells the story of the encounter of the rigorist Swiss and the undogmatic Italians. Zürich HB – Milano Centrale – A graphic encounter, until the 27.Feb.

" This exhibition sheds light on the period between 1948 and 1970, when drawing into “Milano Centrale” station did not just offer an individual fresh start for young Swiss graphic designers, but also a defining moment in design history. Being cosmopolitan was not without its difficulties, but brought lavish rewards to many graduates of what was then the Kunstgewerbeschule Zürich. Equipped with an education that Italy could not offer at the time, Swiss graphic artists were met by a new and inspiring approach, optimistic and undogmatic. Italy’s path to highly regarded visual communication was marked by a close transalpine dialogue and brought Milan the reputation of a city that was well worth leaving home for."

entre deux_2.jpg

ENTRE DEUX_flyer.jpg
_________________________________________________________________________________________
I❤The Sunny Boys!
Cyriac Allard and Donald Abad have been collaborating with each other since they met at the Arts Decoratifs in Paris. Neo-romantism, sporting rules, performance and guineapiggism highlight their video works which is in turn fun, ironic and fresh.

Entre Deux est un espace symbolique d'expérimentation et de rencontre de nos deux univers artistiques. Un terrain loin de la civilisation, où la confrontation directe de nos corps d’Hommes avec la Nature, l'apesanteur, la hauteur d’un rocher, la pente d’une montagne, un arbre isolé sont autant d'évasions symboliques. Les notions d'effort, d'endurance, de contemplation, de défi, de dualité, d’entraide et d'absurdité habitent chacune des scènes.
L’Entre Deux est également géographique, l’ensemble des performances ayant été tourné dans deux lieux différents, à Ikaria (île d’Icare), et dans la chaîne des Aravis (Haute Savoie).
Tel un voyage initiatique, chacun a investi un lieu en fonction de ses thématiques, comme autant d’épreuves:
Ikaria devient pour Cyriac Allard une recherche d’ascension impossible où la chute apparaît comme inéluctable. L’élévation comme moyen de dépasser sa condition humaine, sortir de l’entre terre et ciel, pour effleurer un soleil.
Quant aux Aravis, la montagne se transforme en terrain de jeu pour Donald Abad. L’occasion de transposer des gestuelles sportives, de symboliser l’entraide, la lutte, la recherche du geste parfait face à l’immensité de la Nature inclinée.
Chacune de nos vidéos est un plan séquence, brut, à l’image de nos espaces de jeux.

---------------------------------
Diplômé en 2001 et post-diplômé en 2002 de l’ENSAD, Donald Abad définit son univers artistique comme du «multimédia néo-romantique», qu’il matérialise à l’aide de la vidéo, l’interactivité et la performance.

Diplômé de l'ENSAD en 2005, Cyriac Allard travaille la vidéo et la photographie pour rendre compte de ses performances. Tour à tour danseur, support et co-auteur, sa collaboration avec Donald Abad remonte à plusieurs années.
Entre Deux est la poursuite d'un projet amorcé par Cyriac Allard en 2004, qui trouve dans la dualité de nouvelles règles du jeu.
---------------------------------

infos/ Entre deux est une série de photos et de vidéos (un vidéo différente projetée chaque jour) exposée à la Galerie NoGoodWindow du 14 septembre au 27 octobre 2006, au 16 rue de la Tour d’Auvergne 75009 Paris, tous les jours de 15h à 19h.

_________________________________________________________________________________________
Super interesting works by 2006 CAAD graduate at the RCA.

Top/
To play the record the handle needs to be turned in a clockwise direction at a steady 331/3 rpm. The paper cone then acts as a pick up and amplifies the sound enough to make it audible.

Bottom/
This map plots the location of FM commercial and pirate radio stations within London. The poster works in its own right as a piece of information design, but when connected to the modified radio it becomes part of the interface. Placing a metal contact onto each point enables us to listen to the sound broadcast live from that location.

HELLO MORRISSEY GRAMMOPHON

morrisseyred.jpg
dgg77712.jpg
logo-deutsche-grammophon.jpg
_________________________________________________________________________________________
DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON employed many fine musicians who are now collectable, and produced many LP's with fine performances and beautiful jacket designs.
The 3 important stereo pressings are known as SLPM (SLPEM) 136, 138 and 139 because that's what the catalogue numbers start with. With this label German pressings are preferred by collectors and the label must have the blue tulips design going all around the rim (GY5 or GY7). Later pressings of the 70s had a white border instead of the tulips and are thin and floppy compared to the early ones. The non-tulip labels are generally worthless except where the original is rare and expensive.
The blue (and sometimes white) tulips border was used by DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON to help listeners checking the proper speed of their players. If the border optically turned black then it was the optimum speed for the best rendering of the recording.
Of course Morrissey's cover is a visual play on the 1970s logo of DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON but without the tulips...
