Blitzkrieg Bop-Art.

After working with Neil Young for the art cover of the album Americana in late june, Shepard Fairey works as a curator. He stages an exhibition of an unexpected artist : Dee Dee Ramone!
Dee Dee Ramone : A memorial exhibition will take place at the Subliminal Project Gallery (owned by Fairey!) in LA.
Even if the guitar bass player of the legendary Ramones started to paint just few years before he died, and even if he there is no real artistic value, it's always intriguing to discover these.
Ten years after he passed away, it remains something of his incredible intensity, his sense of humor and irony.
Too bad the title is a little bit solemn.

Not that easy, right?

Is it what we call a conversion.... to capitalism?

Considération inactuelle 8 : Arte, la télé qui vous allume.

1990 - 1994.

We do not know much stuff about the project Glaciation but it seems to be well thought out... Black metal was against commercialization but it seems that everything evolves. Crisis effect.  This band, for the release of their first album, dares to lure us with this brilliant teaser (great sense of embezzelment).

                     
Nobody will forget this release. Out Oct.12...

Lang-urous americana.

On September 1st, the Spring 1990 from the Grateful Dead has been released.  The 18 cd box limited to 9.000 copies (almost 200$) recounts a tour made in 6 different cities in Maryland. This release marks also a great collaboration with the prolific New York artist Wes Lang. After his show last June at the Half Gallery, he enjoys us with this great cover art. The circle is now complete as Wes Lang used to be a huge fan of the Dead. "The Gratefull Dead, for me, is America at its finest" as he said!

Acephalous.

This short film by the artist David Shrigley was originally made for his "brain activity" exhibition at the Hayward gallery, London. It reminds us that Rock music should always be related to the body whereas electronic music is related to the head.

Mathieu : lyrical sparks.

Georges Mathieu, one of the most important French painter, inventor of the Lyrical Abstraction just lost his final battle. In spite of his fame, he never had the success he deserved but he had his revenge upon the others, his revenge upon God as he wished to have. From esoterism to History, his work was freed from all the classical strangleholds but nevertheless deeply rich and intellectual. Born in Boulogne (sur mer) and dead in Boulogne (Billancourt), his royal career had to come to an end as he decided to stop painting few years ago. As a genius he gave new rules to Art. His death will probably be his last work of art because it will bring him back to life...
