A galeria Albert Benamou em Paris continua um ciclo dedicado à arte contemporânea chinesa, apresentando durante o próximo mês trabalhos da dupla Gao Zhen e Gao Qiang.

Evidências e interrogações sobre um país paradoxal, em plena mutação económica, social e cultural. A grande revolução da China dos nossos dias.

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."

“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”.
