Attic 61 – after

Last Saturday we were part of the exhibition/art fair by Attic61 in Amsterdam… the location was an old decompose physics laboratory… and we did our thingy in the old morgue… the place was totally trashed and dusty… power came from a generator… how old school would you like to get it?

So the feeling and vibe was instantly amazing… a setting like this is just perfect for rough and harsh sounds… I liked all live sets by Sololust, Garçon Taupe, Roberto Auser and Monocorpse. And I think the flow the night was rather good…

Before, in between and after the live acts Alacidus and I played some vinyls… a lot of dark beats… raging from rave to techno to elektro to acid… and I really loved the crowd digging the sounds so well and being so enthusiastic…  

Simply a great night… one to remember!

Gooiland Elektro at the museum

fkk_coverRunning until the end of October there is an exhibition about selfies at Brandts in Odense, Denmark. This exhibition was curated by Lars Schwander a Danish photographer who in the past worked with The Fall and Moral for example… but who also photographed Björk back in the 1980’s… and who also collaborates with Yoko Ono… just to mention a few thing from his oeuvre…

For this exhibition he selected the photography by Hester Scheurwater used for the “Freikörperkultur” compilation on Gooiland Elektro. Both the original LP cover as a selfie of Hester Scheurwater holding the record (thus holding a photo of herself) are part of the exhibition…

The exhibition extends the topic of the selfie into a broader context of the self portrait… from modern art of the likes of Andy Warhol to cell phone selfies by mainstream pop artists like Lady Gaga…
