THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT

Thursday, December 4, 2014

View on YouTube
I’m sure that you’re sick of hearing about Ryan Trecartin–he’s kind of everywhere at the moment. Deemed by The New Yorker’s Peter Schjeldahl as “the most consequential artist to have emerged since the nineteen-eighties,” Trecartin anticipated and formed the decadently glitchy A(DHD)esthetic of the Youtube and Vine generation before it had even undergone puberty.

OKAY OKAY OKAY

Sunday, November 16, 2014

“A man hangs upside down from a crane at Kottbusser Tor, circling the newly constructed apartment buildings to a bombastic song by the avant-garde group The Residents: “Okay? Okay? Okay! Okay!” The final scene in OKAY OKAY – Der moderne Tanz (1980) provides the title to a film where most dancing is performed by pulsating lampposts, [...]

MAKING NOISE

Tuesday, September 9, 2014

I’m deeply suspicious of COS, the H&M brainchild aimed at a slightly older and more sophisticated target group, but one has to hand it to them that they do know how to pick their collaborators: hiring the team behind Fantastic Man for their annoyingly tasty in-house magazine, Jop van Bennekom and Gert Jonkers also [...]

A film to look forward to, or enjoy in case you’re based in the US, where A Most Wanted Man just opened in theaters: based on the spy novel by the master of all spy novels, John LeCarré, and directed by photographer and director Anton Corbijn – think Joy Division, U2 and Depeche Mode – [...]
