Schablone Berlin book launch & talk. Friday, February 24th

A slide talk by authors, Caroline Koebel & Kyle Schlesinger at 6:30 PM, repeated at 7:15 PM

Schablone Berlin is an artists’ book as well as a book of documentation, presenting stencil graffiti from the streets of Germany’s most international metropolis. The book consists of over 100 color photographs showing not only the graffiti, but also its placement within the confines of the city. The introduction examines the semiotic and performative aspects of stencils as a populist form of writing within the contexts of art history, media and urban anthropology. Post-Face by Dennis Tedlock.

Simon Reynolds on Postpunk

We met with music-writer Simon Reynolds to talk about his new book on postpunk.

Rip it Up and Start Again:  Postpunk 1978 – 1984

Simon Reynolds

Penguin Group

It’s a fine time of year for postpunk.  Perhaps Penguin has chosen to delay the American publication of Simon Reynolds’ chronicle of the dirty, crisp, muddled, excited, and ambitious music responding to the overtly gray cultural landscape until late February to ensure a proper context.  Few records can make as much sense on six block walk under slate skies and through freezing temperatures as one of the holy books of postpunk, such as Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures or Wire’s Chairs Missing.  Reynolds succeeds at shedding a good deal of light on this previously underconsidered collection of artists, records, and events by revisiting sites and sounds thrilling yet bleak as that Pennsylvanian groundhog’s promise of six more weeks of winter.

Kacy Wiggins, who records his solo excursions in quirky dubwise ambience as Quiet Personal Electronics (or qpe), is a rare breed of musician. Where most electronica artists hide behind funky bombast or cool, digital distance, Wiggins seduces with gentleness, warmth and goodheartedness. Not quite downtempo, not quite dub, definitely not drum'n'bass and definitely not lounge, his music is effortlessly enjoyable but difficult to parse. His label calls the music "hip hop nouveau," but while that term captures the funky matrix in which everything on this album floats, it doesn't do justice, for example, to either the textural pointillism of "Mirrored" or the loping swing of "Lapland". This music is the aural equivalent of the really smart, kind of geeky kid you knew in high school, the one who seemed to know everything but whom no one resented because he was kind and self-deprecating and funny. Makes you wonder if that's what Kacy Wiggins is like. If not, he sure knows how to fake it.

BUYRUM LOFT PARTY

Resident DJs PROBUS & NOKI
w/ Conga Fist on percussion

guest dj
URSULA 1000 (Eighteen Street Lounge)

The man behind URSULA 1000 is none other than the mild mannered, multi-instrumentalist Alex Gimeno. Alex cannot be boxed in, categorized or labeled, his music is a multi-leveled eclectic blend of styles and genres. Finding a label to house this eclecticism could be tricky. Lo and behold came the smart and highly respected Eighteenth Street Lounge Music label, operated by Washington DCís Thievery Corporation.

special live performance by
FORRO IN THE DARK (Nublu)

Of all amazing bands that play at Nublu, Forro in the Dark is the one that has been packing this Lower East Side club full of sweat-covered revelers every single Wednesday for the past two and a half years. Rain, snow, shine—there’s always a line outside on a Wednesday night. Why? Because the band captures a vibe that can only be created in this part of town, in this part of the world, by the kind of musicians that come out of Nublu. On March 4th, we're bringing their vibes to our loft party. Not to be missed!

Project Conversations unites a diverse group of artists, both individuals and groups. It is not governed by a common structured concept, but is mainly concerned with a different way of thinking or contemplation on art and society, in terms of their functioning, collective work and reflection. Thus a special social space is created where no single language of truth is prevalent. Instead it enables the transformation of the voice of the other. And since all meaning is relative and provisional, there is a certain tension which points to other possible contexts as well.

Pogovarjanja / Conversations / Conversas is a part of On Difference2 project� http://www.wkv-stuttgart.de

On March 6, 2006, the Austrian Cultural Forum will open SWITCHING WORLDS: DESIRES AND IDENTITIES. This group exhibition, on view through April 15, exposes issues of identity in a transatlantic context against the background of the digital revolution. Taking the desires, dreams, hopes, concerns, and anxieties of Austrian artists who live and work in New York City as point of departure, it comments on global civilization and its margins and explores what it means to be human in the digital era. Examining how it feels to be European in America, the show illustrates the tensions between a history-obsessed European context and the increasingly illusionary "free spirit" of America.

An exhibition catalogue including artist statements, an essay by Christoph Thun-Hohenstein, and a fictional fantasy ("Overture") will be published in conjunction with the exhibition.

The Austrian Cultural Forum is located at 11 East 52nd Street in Manhattan. Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm. Admission is free. For additional information call 212 319 5300 or visit www.acfny.org.

Drawings by KAKUDJI : DO IT (if you dare) | News & Announcements | See info below

Drawing by KAKUDJI: 2:09 June 08, 2005

DO IT (if You dare)

is a super-Flux project which presents selected artists who present themselves. The artists of 'DO IT (if You dare)' are selected by super-Flux on the basis of their original attitude and courage in comparison to mainstream contemporary artists.

In May 2005 I began a project which consisted in sending family and friends a daily image of my thoughts. From the months of May 2005 - June 2005 and then from Oct. 2005 - Dec. 2005 ; I made drawings almost every day - on small A4 papers, which I would then send to everyone the same day. It all began, because I got tired of people asking me "when is your next show?" . so, I said to myself, "why wait till the next show to show people my work ?"; so, I decided to bring the show to the people.

Ulysses + Nicklcat "Make you feel good" New Release | See links and info. below

MBF Records #12017 is out now!

ULYSSES + NICKLCAT
"Make You Feel Good"

A: Make You Feel Good
B: Polaris

Teaming up with new vocal talent Nick Hallett, underground New York super producer Ulysses brings you two new tracks on Traum Schallplatten's MBF imprint. It's two songs are an intriguing mix of Deep House, Electro, Pop and Acid. Featuring Nick's sweet vocals – compared by some as reminiscent of Marc Almond and Jimmy Sommerville (of Bronski Beat fame) – It simultaneously looks forwards and backwards. The title track uplifts as it moves the feet: deep 808 kicks, scronky hooks, spaced out effects and beautiful melodies all collide into a unique miasma of sound. It's a truly progressive piece of music. The B side, "Polaris," takes things to a darker realm, with burbling bass lines and operatic harmonies. It's a soundtrack for chasing unrequited love through outer space.

hello people

here is some news:

METEOSOUND IS A DIVISION OF SHITKATAPULT !!!

SHITKATAPULT and METEOSOUND have shared the same office, work and music feelings for many years and after working together for a long time, finally it's official: METEOSOUND IS NOW A DIVISION OF SHITKATAPULT !!!

with this step we will associate the label meteosound to shitkatapult in respect to management, production, distribution, communication etc.

the artistic choices of the labels will preserve the same taste: SHITKATAPULT for everything quirky, strange, noisy, rocky or whatever there is in terms of special music for special people. METEOSOUND for moving dub more and more towards electronic and contemporary music, soul and city - we can define it, with a newborn term, as soul city dub.

Artificial Afrika : Curated by Vernon Reid & Daniel Dawson | Exhibition Jan. 27th through March 17th | Gigantic ArtSpace (GAS) - NYC

ARTIFICIAL AFRIKA

Curated by Vernon Reid and C. Daniel Dawson
Curatorial Advisors: Brooke Davis Anderson and Danny Simmons

January 27 – March 17, 2006

Gigantic ArtSpace [GAS] proudly presents Artificial Afrika, an exhibition that considers contemporary artistic appropriations of African visual culture through mythology, religious traditions, musical forms, and other culturally-specific practices. The exhibition’s scholarly and artistic contributions deconstruct myths and inventions to challenge the validity of images that continue to define the idea of Africa, an idea often rife with thoughts of disease, poverty, and corruption.  It is through this lens that the exhibition will consider a variety of cultural and artistic forms that not only represent ideas of the past, but more importantly, contribute to the evolving social transformation of the present.

A full-color, 32-page catalog with contributions by C. Daniel Dawson, Vernon Reid, Robert Farris Thompson, and Greg Tate will also be available.

Q & A from Kevin Saunderson on FUSE 2006 | See below for details

Ladies and Gentleman;

I know many of you want to know what’s going on with the festival for 2006. I cannot tell you for sure, but I have been told that the City of Detroit is in negotiation right now and are only considering companies that can pay for the festival expenses out right. Which I believe is a wise decision. This festival needs financial stability. Unfortunately with our greatest efforts, we could not achieve what was necessary to continue to produce the festival in 2006. Here are some of the facts why, questions and answers:

Q: How many people attended the festival this year?
A: We sold 41,000 tickets this year. That translates to 37,000 1 day tickets and 4,000 Multi day tickets.

Q: Are the numbers down from previous years?
A: Yes, but just slightly. Comparing beer revenues from 2004 to 2005 suggests we really only had approximately 50,000 people in 2004. This does represent a small decline.

Q: So was the festival successful? It sounds like you a lot less people than in the past.
A: Considering the planning window we had put this thing together, we think the festival was incredibly successful. In addition, our numbers this year, and the fact that Hart Plaza capacity is less than previously thought suggest that our earlier festivals did not have 1,000,000 people in attendance as previously reported.

Q: Did charging for the festival have a big impact?

Priska C. Juschka Fine Art is pleased to present When Dawn Breaks, Dana Melamed's first solo exhibition in New York City. In her work, Melamed amasses numerous layers of urban images and building materials in order to construct cities that exemplify the unremitting destruction and rebuilding of our surroundings. Melamed's works embody narratives of the great cities of the world, yet, at the same time, resist the allusion to a specific time and place.

"Though Kacy Wiggins doesn’t seem intent on inciting revolutions with his qpe (’quiet personal electronics’) project, he just might surreptitiously do so, given Gentrifried ’s insidious potency. .." (textura.org)

Remembering J Dilla aka James Yancey

Friday Feb 10th 2006

J Dilla, aka James Yancey, one of the greatest Hip Hop producers of all time passed away early this morning in Los Angeles, California.  J Dilla will be remembered for his contributions to Slum Village, A Tribe Called Quest, Q-Tip, Common and beyond.

The entire staff and associates of BBE Records would like to offer their sincere condolences to the family of James Yancey for their recent bereavement.

Peter Adarkwah, the founder of BBE Records said he was "deeply saddened by the news. Jay was one of my favorite Hip-Hop producers of all time. His passion for music was a rare thing amongst people in the music industry. His music and presence will be sorely missed for many years to come."

The album he was working on, the follow up to "Welcome To Detroit," entitled "The Shining" was scheduled for a June release on BBE.
