Recent things I Have Seen:
- The insides of people's houses on the Montpelier Art trail
- Daddy Long Bones at the Attic supporting an all girl band from Oz who were dull & performed like Sims and made me feel like I was at a Sims rock concert. the camera angles of my eyes were also video simulation reminisces. daddy long bones i like a lot though! www.myspace.com/daddylongbones or something.
- DOGTOOTH at the cinema. good, dark, bold, imaginative! perfectly paced, poised and greek.
- a film about people who'd been struck by lightning.
Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of Jim Henson's passing away. I am a big fan of the Muppet's, in particular the Great Muppet Caper..
- I went to London and saw:
a photography exhibition by Richard Billingham
he wasn't exhibiting this photo but i've had it on my wall before and just realised it's his. the photos he does now are less enclosed - lowrylandscapes, but also different types of encloseds, like zoo animals.
i hate the zoo by the way and i will not go.
-
an exhibition at the Tate Modern about Theo van Doesberg --- which I really liked. dada is an affirmation and negation. it is the bird with four legs, the ladder with no rungs, the square with no corners... to say that dada is of destruction misunderstands life, of which dada is the essence.
i particularly liked the video installation of the 'la ballet mechanique' by fernand leger made in 1924. total anarchy and early early days of the vj set.
i get excited by the dada thing.
- saw Bath. a beautiful city, green and caramelcoloured.
- Coco Rosie in concert! at the Trinity, which is an old church.
- Cocorosie cover of Turn Me On
they are beautiful, sexy and i wish more girls would sing about girls in this way.
- Tonight I am going to be seeing: Peggy Shaw and the Clod Ensemble: MUST
the clod ensemble
as part of Bristol MayFest....
I am also really enjoying Nicola Bernedetti, Mahler's Spiegel Im Spiegel and other classical musics...
Life affirming stuff ey.
