A imagem desmaquilhada: descobrir Zoe Leonard

O museu Rainha Sofía de Madrid recebe a primeia retrospectiva mundial da obra da fotógrafa nova iorquina Zoe Leonard, numa organização do Fotomuseum Winterthur, Suiça. A exposição tem como núcleo central a série Analogue, obra importante da artista desenvolvida entre 1998 e 2007, incluida na última Documenta de Kassel.

Zoe Leonard, da serie Analogue.


Escreve o El País:

"Probablemente la característica más significativa de su obra sea precisamente el equilibrio que consigue entre lo visual y lo informacional, entre la parte estética y formal de su trabajo y las cuestiones sociales e ideológicas que es capaz de vehicular. Aspectos como la belleza o la emoción, tan complejos de abordar en el medio fotográfico, siguen presentes en su práctica al lado de una decidida reflexión sobre el carácter instrumental e informativo de las imágenes."

Interessa acompanhar a conversa da artista no MNCARS, conduzida pela comissária da exposição Lynne Cooke.



Zoe Leonard: Fotografías. Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid. Até 16 de Fevereiro de 2009.

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”.
