Algarve

O Algarve do sol e das praias (cheias!) tem fotografias expostas que merecem uma espreitadela. Antes de subir a Lisboa, o tour 2007 do World Press Photo atraca na zona Ribeirinha de Portimão, entre 20 de Julho e 12 de Agosto.

Em Faro, os Encontros de Fotografia (ou o Centro de Artes Visuais) de Coimbra mostram Procurar Portugal, uma exposição comissariada por Albano da Silva Pereira em dois espaços da cidade: Museu Municipal e a Galeria Trem.

No museu mostram-se trabalhos feitos por três fotógrafas internacionais que visitaram e trabalharam em Portugal entre 1994 e 2006: a alemã Candida Höfer, a britânica Hannah Collins e a holandesa Rineka Dijkstra.

Na Galeria Trem estão as encomendas dos Encontros entre 1990 e 1996 a Debbie Fleming Caffery, Flor Garduño, Cristina Garcia Rodero, Martine Voyeux e Inês Gonçalves. Debbie Fleming Caffery fotografou o Portugal rural em Vale do Mondego, Flor Garduño mostra-nos os costumes e a relação do Norte com a natureza, Cristina Garcia Rodero os ritos católicos nos Açores, Martine Voyeux fixa uma Lisboa popular e Inês Gonçalves debruçou-se sobre filhos de imigrantes.


[As imagens do WPPhoto 2007 estão desde Sexta passada nos Açores, no Teatro Micaelense, em Ponta Delgada, onde ficam até 2 de Agosto.]

The Clockworks, Mayday Mayday

Mayday Mayday, the latest from The Clockworks, a four-piece Irish post-punk band from Galway, Ireland, now based in London. Formed in 2019, the band consists of James McGregor (vocals and guitar), Sean Connelly (guitar), Damian Greaney (drums), and Tom Freeman (bass).  One of the most exciting new bands in the post-punk scene, a blend of indie rock and garage rock, with driving guitars and catchy melodies, currently working on their debut album. The Clockworks are a young band with a lot of potential, helping to bring Irish rock back to the forefront. Stay tuned!   

Iain McKell, "New Gypsies"

"Historically despised the new Gypsies are there by choice, not heritage. Unrelated to the Roma, the movement began in 1986 when a group of Post-Punk Anti-Thatcher protesters headed out of London into the English countryside. McKell followed these New Age Travellers to the West Country and over the years he watched them become a hybrid tribe - the new gypsies - present-day rural anarchists, living the subversive lifestyle in elaborately decorated horse-drawn caravans."

New Order - Video 5-8-6 [Extended 22:23 version]

“Video 5 8 6” is a song originally composed as “pap” (as Tony Wilson put it) for the opening night of the Haçienda on May 21, 1982. Parts of this pearl would become the basis for the Power, Corruption & Lies tracks “5 8 6” and “Ultraviolence”, as well as the associated 12-inch single “Blue Monday”.
