Joseph Nechvatal is a very interesting contemporary artist-cum theoretician who has read Baudrillard’s take on the thought such as « everything is a virus » and listened to Howard Devoto’s song « there’s no answer- everything has a cancer »… I have met with Nechvatal in his French gallery « Jean-Luc and Takako Richard [...]

HATS ASKEW, TUNICS UNBUTTONED 1

A Gathering Of The Tribes — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:53:00 +0000

A review of SLUMBERLAND by Aileen Reyes by Paul Beatty, Bloomsbury Press 2008 I like it.

This is not one definable story. It’s [...]

WITH FRANCIS POWELL in PARIS and… ELSEWHERE by NINA ZIVANCEVIC

A Gathering Of The Tribes — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 21:02:38 +0000

Francis Powell comes from England (he always says jokingly “he's neither Scottish nor Irish, but simply plain English”)- however, for the last ten years or so he's been residing in Paris on a permanent basis. He has made a name for himself as a brilliant musician and a composer of electronic music, known as 'DJ WISE' and meanwhile he has been painting beautiful, sort of 'Art Nouveau- Klimt meets Aboriginal Art' paintings, all coupled with printed samples of his own creative writing and steady journalism. He often says that he belongs to a certain eclectic British tradition of visual artists who often turned musicians and then turned something else.
