MUSIC AND ART SPECIAL
This Sunday is an art and music special. First up is STATION-TO-STATION
by Doug Aitken who manages to bleed art, poetry and music into this seamless
visual journey composed of 62 one-minute films highlighting the eclectic mix of
creative talent. Designed as a kinetic light sculpture Aitken travels from New
York to San Francisco over a 24 day period with performances from the likes of
BECK/ SAVAGES/ NO AGE/ PATTI SMITH/ CAT POWERS/ ARIEL PINK/ GIORGIO MORODER/ SUICDE/
SAM FALLS/ ED RUSCHA/ OLAFUR ELISSION the list is endless. This film it a
testament to the ever evolving creative culture and the importance of cultural
and creative collectivism a must for any creative practitioner and a visual
feast for the observer. With another live performance from the immensely talented
HEXAGON TRAIL with accompanying visuals. This will be followed by FOR ALL
MANKIND scored by the legendary Brian Eno yet another film dealing with travel
through the eye of a visual artist. During the lunar mission of 1968 to 1972
the astronauts were given 16mm cameras and just instructed to film any thing
and everything and the moon surface itself. This footage has been edited together
to create a mesmerising documentation of one of the 20th century
greatest moments in history with a simply brilliant score made up of memories that drives the film forward. With rum cocktails and popcorn and teacakes for
the second film.
