You have to watch this. You can see some clips on youtube. I saw this film projected the other night at a club night, and it caught my interest. It's so weird. Please take a look.
Trecartin's first feature-length video I-Be AREA extends the artist's singular process and style into new territory. Fast-paced and dense with drama, I-Be AREA relates the intertwined stories of an exuberant ensemble, played by Trecartin and dozens of others, as they cope with themes such as cloning, adoption, self-mediation, lifestyle options, and virtual identities. The film centers around Jaime's Area (played by Lizzie Fitch), a space which functions, in the artist's words, as a kind of “bedroom/classroom/drama department/blog space/Internet-community site where the characters malfunction in the face of everything being everything and come to act on their own creative potential.”

Sandy Paw's........ animal abuse, R.I.P Cindy the poodle.
Sandy kills two birds with one stone, she achieves dual personalities of her pet animals by sculpturing them into hideous replica's of other 'cute' beings. Sandy loves animals so much she has decided to make a living from grooming animals, and has a grooming salon for pet called 'Sandy Paw's'. As a result of Sandy's creative abilities monstrosities such a Cindy the poodle are transformed into characters such as a Teenage mutant ninja turtle. Obviously the poor dog loves being shaved and spray painted, because when Cindy the poodle wasn't receiving full grooming attention from Sandy, to the other animals at 'Sandy Paws', she took her own life.

Andreas Nilsson
Amazingly talented Director. Has worked with artists, such as Bright eyes, The Knife, Moby, Goldfrapp and may others. His work is defiantly worth a bit of your time to watch.

The Graveyard And The Ballroom (Fact 16c)
Factory Records Day!!! I have just bought the 'complete graphic collection, of factory records' & the Factory Records music box set. Whilst listening to the amazing tunes, i have been flicking through the book. I have stumbled across this great cassette tape packaging! This is the PVC packaging for the LP 'The Graveyard And The Ballroom', by A Certain Ration. This packaging and design is done by the great Peter Saville. This LP is designed as a clutch bag or strapless purse, in reference to the word 'ballroom' in the title.
The Video, is the brilliant song 'Shack up' by A Certain Ratio.

Teddy boys
I have always had a weak spot for old school rock n roll. I especially love the old Teddy Boy hairstyle and fashion. You should watch how amazingly styled this guy gets his hair styled in the salon. Also ive added another video of Teddy Boys dancing, with a brilliant soundtrack. I cant believe this is Cliff Richards and The Shadows, i bloody hate Cliff Richard, but this song is amazing.

The Queen is Dead.....Dungeness..... and Derek Jarman
Derek Jarman was a artist, musician, but best known for his directing. As a child I used to go visit a place called Dungeness, which is on the south east coast of England. At Dungeness their is a active Nuclear Power station and a amazing nature reserve. Everytime i used to visit we used to go pass this amazing house with a spectacular, colourful seaside stone garden, and i used to ask who lives their? And i was told, a famous director. Well i did'nt relise it was the late Derek Jarman, untill i stumbled across an article recently about his house. So if your ever on the south east coast of england, go visit Derek Jarmans house, its worth a look.
I love this video...... this is what got me into Jarmans work. And It probably helps that i frickin love The Smiths to!
Here is a film with a collection of videos which Jarman has done for The Smiths.
1. The Queen is Dead
2. There is a Light that Never Goes out
3. Panic

Oh Kandinsky!
Today whilst visiting a very boring library i stumbled across a Kandinsky book. Its been a while since Ive taken another look at his work.... its just as good as i remember. Last time i saw his work, was at the Tate Modern, when their was a joint exhibition of Moholy-Nagy and Kandinsky. It was probably one of my most favourite shows i have been to. I find it refreshing looking back at the classics.

I would run up any hill for K.B
Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill.
This has got to be one of my favourite songs and video's by Kate Bush.
Brilliant dance choreography, and well shot.
This video was banned from being played on MTV on its release, and a
live performance was played instead, this was because this they thought
it was to 'sexually charging' and Kate didnt try to lip sync to the
words through-out the whole video.

Augustin Lesage
Augustin Lesage, was a French painter (1876-1954). Before he painted he used to work in the mines from the age of 14, where he heard (at the at age of 35) a voice telling him that he would become a painter one day. And he did.
His work was seen as unclassifiable, and was attached to the spiritualist movement. Lesage was praised by the Surrealists and eventually integrated into the 'Collection de l'Art Brut', which is a major figure.
its worth taking at look at wider collection of Lesage's work and reading up on his life. here is a link to his wiki....(translated from French)

'Body Bakery'...erm... dead people bread?
This looks pretty gruesome, but dont worry its not dead people... its just bread!
Kittiwat Unarrom is a Thai fine art student and son of a baker. Kittiwat uses the medium of bread to create shocking and gruesome, amazingly realistic looking sculptures of body parts.
