FRIDAY MIX

by RAMBL

http://media.r-n-d.net/richard/Di$Count.mp3

Richard sent this mix a while back I never posted it though, until now. Did listen to it a bunch though. Check out his weekly radio show THE CITY RISES.

About the mix - "It's a bit weird. 80's disco punk with lo-fi hip hop and house"

Just the way we like it.

LITE SHOW BY STAB'S & Toshiikazu video

2011-10-04T23:31:00.000-07:00

Local stencil artist Stabs steps off the streets for his debut solo show 'Lite works' at Backwoods galley in October.

With a decade of stencil based street activity in Melbourne and abroad Stabs is one of Melbourne's most infamous street artists. Working out of the Everfresh studio, Stabs has constantly developed his often kooky and stylistic characters along with evolving a paint and print practice that reflects multiple textures, diverse applications and embraces an ephemeral quality where by time and nature add to a desired street aesthetic.

Stab's show opens next friday at Backwoods Gallery. For more information check out our website.

.
Check out this video made my Louis Mitchell and Alexander Mitchell of Toshiikazu during his time in Melbourne. It was film during Toshhii's stay when he and Usugrow exhibited at Backwoods Gallery in July.

2011-09-22T20:22:00.000-07:00

Made a trip to the Chelsea galleries today. There were some great shows on. . Below are some highlights from the day.

James Cohan Gallery- Tabaimo: DANDAN

Tabaimo is from Japan and famous for her hand drawn animations. Below is some footage of the exhibition.

DANDAN

A projection onto three angled panels that run vertically from the floor to the ceiling creating a deep perspective.

Here the viewer is shown a cross-section of both a modern and a traditional housing complex. Throughout the animation strange happenings occur in these spaces.

A women spins in a washing machine, birds fly inside, the peck of a bird's beak causes blood to flow from a bed and a man walks into a refigerator.

GUIGNORAMA

Shows veined, colourful hands grasping each other and frenetically flashing on and off the screen. The pulsating blood vessels create an emotionally fraught landscape.

Tabaimo's recurring motif of hands have come to represent the boundary between interior and exterior worlds.

BLOW
Displays projections onto a curved half-pipe ramp. It shows human bones, organs and blood vessels surface from a watery world and morph into forms that recall the origins of life emerging from the primordial soup.

While walking through the gallery I had DJ Krush's album Jaku (meaning: quiet, lonely) playing on my ipod. It went perfectly with Tabaimo's enigmatic animations which portray a dark side of modern Japanese society.

Lehmann Maupin Gallery- DO HO SUH

Nick Cave's Soundsuits at Mary Boone

I remember doing a post about this exceptional artist over a year ago now when I came across his soundsuits on a website. So when I walked in the Mary Boone Gallery and saw a whole room of them my eyes lit up.

When wearing a soundsuit one can not determine the race, gender and class of the wearer, forcing the viewer not to pass judgement based on these terms. The amazing pieces consumed me with their intense release of colour and chaos. If I had $85,000 I wouldn't mind getting one of these babies for my room!

Have not got around to getting more film developed so am using my shitty digital. Below is a video of Jon Wayne playing at Strangeloops exhibition, he rocks. His mixtape How stella got her Groove Back has saved me and Mak on our drives around LA.

Thought he would be perfect to do a mix for the Oriental Element show.. here it is
