Alice in Wonderland 1903

Monday, March 8th, 2010

A silent film directed by Cecil Hepworth and Percy Stow and the first movie adaption based on Lewis Carroll’s book. Only one copy of the original film exists to date, and parts of it are lost. The British Film Institute has partially managed to restore the movie and its original colours. To actually imagine the use of special effects and vanguard techniques over 100 years old is incredible. This is truly a 9 minute wonder!

Boys Club at D/L

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

DOPOLAVORO GOLAB & ERA STUDIO present BOYS CLUB, curated by Martin Butler and Giorgio Bartoli. The exhibition “Boys Club” is a group exhibition combining video, photography, fashion and performance that takes  a fresh view on the portrayal of the adolescent male in contemporary society. The Dutch photographers Joost Vandebrug and  Bart Julius Peters,  the Canadian artist  Kyle Tryhorn, the young French photographer Florent Routoulp / Chocolat_Poire and Korean fashion designer Hyun Yeu, represent several generations from three continents that all share  elements of this fascination within their work.
Some times nostalgic, sometimes romantic, sometimes explicit,  sometimes dealing with the reality of the struggle of  redefining identity during the transition from boyhood to manhood,  but always engaging. “Boys Club” is an homage to  that  fleeting moment of  the blossoming, the blossoming that exists for the shortest time…

“Uncage the colours
Unfurl the flag
Luck just kissed you hello
When you’re a boy
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out”

David Bowie


Sparklehorse + Fennesz

We were lucky to have numerous neverending summers, non modulated sounds knitting melodies upon which to float weightlessly. Fennesz is back, accompanied by Mark Linkous’ Mr.Sparklehorse; the result is the 15th volume of the series “In The Fishtank”, wrapped up in 48 hrs and produced out of pure double genious. You can choose amongst acoustic guitars, cellos, treated music and electronic signals which exquisitely reconstruct melancholic soundscapes. Mark Linkous’ trademark rhythm-lullabies will also prove to be something originating far away. Maybe, finally, someone has concocted a new style of airport music.

Immagine 1

A story published on the skin of 2095 volunteers. By Shelley Jackson.

“Each participant must agree to have one word of the story tattooed upon his or her body. The text will be published nowhere else, and the author will not permit it to be summarized, quoted, described, set to music, or adapted for film, theater, television or any other medium. The full text will be known only to participants, who may, but need not choose to establish communication with one another. In the event that insufficiant participants come forward to complete the first and only edition of the story, the incomplete version will be considered definitive.”
