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
Thursday, December 31st, 2009
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.

The Skin Project
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009
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.”
