Michaël Borremans, CAV - Coimbra

O Centro de Artes Visuais de Coimbra (Encontros de Fotografia) exibe a partir de hoje obras do artista Belga Michaël Borremans (Geraardsbergen, 1963). Com formação de base em fotografia e design gráfico, Borremans desenvolve a partir da última década do século XX um trabalho de pintura minuciosa. Muitas vezes a partir de fotografias ou imagens antigas, os retratos de Borremans seduzem e intrigam. Suspendem-nos, como se fosse o próprio tempo a avançar.

"I attempt to create an atmosphere outside time, a space where time has been cancelled."

Four fairies, Óleo sobre tela, 2003

Desenho, pintura e video de Michaël Borremans, para ver no Pátio da Inquisição em Coimbra, CAV, até 8 de Junho.

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”.
