I just curated an all Portland art show for Art Basel at the Bas Fischer and it went great...Thanks to Kathy Grayson, Jim Drain, Naomi, Katherine and all the artists that made this possible. Curating is super exciting and i will hopefully be getting my own gallery next year in Portland (if i can find the perfect space)...Miami was wild....Gossip played a show for Deitch and that ruled as well (Kanye West even got turned away!). We barely missed Grace Jones (huge bummer)...Here are some pictures...

Swimming Pool

2008-09-03T20:52:00.000-07:00

I am in Darkansas right now and while hunting for some cassettes i found a video tape in my fathers room that had tons of strange tv clips. I was largely intrigued by this video clip of some kids getting scared in a swimming pool, why was this video in my dads room and more IMPORTANTLY why was I in my dads room? I liked this video so much i decided to do my own re-edit and added a soundtrack (that is my voice with some reverb). The scene were she tosses the Barbie is a total highlight and notice the way the man backs away at the end, it is very eerie...

Rubber Ring

2008-07-11T14:26:00.000-07:00

A few months ago i saw the Phil Collins 'World Won't Listen' installation (in which he filmed young kids in Turkey, Colombia and Indonesia doing karaoke of Smiths songs) in the Dallas Museum of Art and their was this one woman doing 'Rubber Ring' that nearly moved me to tears...the up close shot of her face, her desperation, the intimacy (of the song and the closeup) and her rubbing her hand down her forehead was all it took to shake me for months...I found a clip of her on youtube, here it is (the sound is kinda bad but just focus on her intent and the intimacy).

Beyond the valley of the walls

2008-07-11T13:44:00.000-07:00

Recently i was in Berlin and my friend Jeppe took us out to his boyfriends art gallery, Peres Projects, and showed me the '5 Steps' video by Agathe Snow and it was absolutely hysterical. It was a fake workout video dealing with subjects like 'how to survive a time travel back to nazi Germany' and 'how to deal with getting a speeding ticket in 5 steps'. If you are ever in Berlin i highly recommend stopping by there and pick up a free copy of Daddy, it rules...Also for shopping in Berlin i loved:

- Apartment
- Wood Wood
- Star Styling

Tonight we played with Primal Scream in a fortress in Serbia, it is amazing here. The fortess = beyond the valley of the walls! Everyone here was super cool + the show was radical. The festival we played has no corporate sponsorships and is truly working it's way up to be the most popular festival in all of Europe. I want to come here in the future and lie amongst the ruins. We got here really late so i didn't get to see as much of the city as i wanted too. The buildings here take my breath away. It's bizarre to eat food in a restaurant that is older than America. Fuck America right now, i'm so bored with USA.

Wynne Greenwood (ex-Traci + The Plastics) recently played my club night and blew everyone away. Her new songs are so killer, i can't wait for her new record. No video but better songs! Sarah Adams plays guitar and drums with her (good luck on Project Runway, Sarah!) now too. Below is the video for 'Big Candy', i can't get this song outta my head. I always have to hold my breath and lean against a wall when she belts out "there is an older looking face in the mirror"...

The beautiful + strange world of Mudcole

2008-07-07T17:08:00.001-07:00

Recently my friend ---- and i stumbled upon an amazing world of fetish videos on Youtube. This guy named 'Mudcole' (maybe the greatest Italian director since Antonio?) puts up videos of women walking through mud in high heels and utterly destroying them! This is deep + brutal art. The videos are done with what seems to be a fairly cheap camera and with no soundtrack, just the sound of heels being destroyed and the gravel they walk on. The way he portrays the heels, it's almost as if they are beyond the pyramids, a gift given to him by the gods! In some shots you see the woman ever so delicately opening the box of heels before sending them to their demise. The greatest mystery: who are these women and do they enjoy destroying the heels or are they mere actors? Is it the same woman? We never see her above the knees, furthering the already enigmatic world of Mudcole. What happens when Mudcole goes into a store that sells heels? Does he start drooling? Does he slowly walk next to the heels and gently caress them? I'm gonna say that 'Italian Mud' is the best title for a film EVER. Check this out.

Tonight we are in Greece. Staying in a hotel right next to the mediterranean sea. I sat on the beach for quite some time tonight thinking of ------ and listening to Gurdjieff de Hartmann. I can not say enough about the music of Gurdjieff. Tonight i nearly vomited tears when Sayyid no.10 came on in my headphones. His piano playing is like tamed violence. There is a deep rumble in there...It is both romantic + violent at the same time. The crescendos and the silence run hand in hand. It's a bit like being ripped to shreds by a lion, but your lover is there with you in the den. These recording are beyond fantastic...Slightly lo-fi piano...I die for the moment you can hear his stool scoot closer to the piano. That is REAL MUSIC!

We are playing with Siouxsie Sioux tonight. I can wait to see her! She is amazing. My favorite Siouxsie Sioux song HAS to be 'Red Light'. Watch this beautiful video for the song. This song's composition is amazing + such a classy use of echo!

I will let you know how the show went..."toooo much expooosure"....

Greece is weird, it is mostly lonely old people, pebbles and stray animals...

It is 3:04 AM and i am sitting in the hotel lobby drinking wine and typing, i should go to bed maybe?

Current listening:
HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR 'Athene'
DRINKING ELECTRICITY 'Shake Some Action'
GREEK ELDERLY PEOPLE 'The Sound of their lonely tears falling onto the rock beach while stray cats and dogs lick them up like bowls of milk'

Cold Song

2008-07-02T12:46:00.000-07:00

This is Klaus Nomi doing the 'Cold Song' with an orchestra. This is his deepest moment, in my opinion. This was used at the beginning of 'A Nos Amour' (one of my fave french new-wave films) to great effect. I loved seeing the boat and the hair in the wind to this song.

Moron Movies

2008-07-02T12:42:00.000-07:00

I recently found the Moron Movies video cassette last time i visited Arkansas. I found the new prized possession in a pawn shop. It was only $2!!! I've been looking for this video for ages. The shark prejudice skit is unbelievable! The quality of the film is beyond lo-fi and the jokes just become strange after awhile.
