LONG LIVE DEATH GRIPS

[live tv] #049 Pt. 1-2 Death Grips – Guillotine from RaRaRa / Light & Noise on Vimeo.
As some may know–and more should know, Death Grips just announced their break up yesterday–for real this time. For four years they brought a barrage of hardcore noise-rap, ferocious performances, and a give-no fucks attitude that pushed the [...]

WHAT DREAMS

For those who have been keeping up, you might remember Tilda Swinton’s the 8½  Foundation, mentioned in her now sold out interview with mono.kultur. Named after the eponymous Fellini film, the Scotland-based foundation was inspired by the musings of  her then eight-and-a-half years old son and dedicates itself to gifting free benchmark films to children at [...]

ALBUM MAN

Andrei Tarkovsky’s intense films, though numbering only seven across his almost quarter decade career, have cemented his place as one of cinema’s master craftsmen. Meditative, intimate, and often opaque, the films lack nothing in compelling narrative nor symbolic density.  Those not fond of slower films can still wonder at his meticulous composition, baptized by [...]

WRONG

The ubiquity of digital art, variously manifested as prismatic gifs, Google Map collages, interactive apps/music videos, and photomanipulations, has proven itself beyond fact beyond fad as an expressive medium for both ends–grassroots and elite–of the creative world.  It’s not surprising then that a contemporary survey, long in coming, has finally emerged.  Impishly named, The Wrong, organized by [...]

NOTTING HILL CARNIVAL SUNDAY

It’s that time of year again. If you find yourself in London, this Sunday and Monday see Notting Hill Carnival, Europe’s biggest street festival, returning to wend its Red Stripe-fuelled way around Ladbroke Grove and Westbourne Park.
For those who can’t make it (or are running their own party free from the West London crowds, TfL [...]

2001

2001 is a really pretty number. Of course, it makes us think of one thing and one thing only. So why should we be thinking about 2001 in the first place? Well, with 2000 other random thoughts that we have been sharing here with you before this one, it’s just as well now or never.

The project’s participants present their research and their responses to the Arsenal collection in the form of an exhibition. On [...]
