Artists in Conversation: Franck Leibovici

PLATFORM3, 2012

PLATFORM3 celebrates three year anniversary with a collective project of local artists. Initiated and supported it by the international artist Franck Leibovici (1975, FR), which begs the question: How does open up the ecosystem of a work of art? An interview:

Through workshops with the artists and the curatorial team of a new exhibition PLATFORM3 concept was developed. The joint project, "a public moment", runs until 28 April.

We thank the busy Franck for the interview, despite the lack of time devoted to our questions.

Have you always been interested in collective projects? What was the inspiration behind this project, "a public moment"?

Brazil (Rio) and poetry.

Rio, because I've discovered there that it is a good test for the evaluation of an artwork is to consider whether this is a collectively generated. if not, it was the factory for "interesting". when it occurs but a suitable collective emotions and causes, then the group it immediately.

poetry, from the basic, fundamental question that the position of this area again and again arises: to what kind of "life form" leads us to the practice, writing, which I develop?

One of the first questions you've asked the artists of PLATFORM3 was: What practices are part of the ecosystem of your work of art? In the course of two workshops, we have jointly created keywords to describe the ecosystems PLATFORM3 artists. How would you answer this question yourself?

through projects such as "forms of life" and "a public moment".

Have you come across something unexpected in the course of this project? Perhaps you have discovered a new element that you want to integrate into a new project?

yes, new paths to describe, phenomena that are held for "immaterial."

The collective projects you initiate in coming from your idea that the artwork more than one object, rather a part of common gestures and situations in a row, ethical, political, economic and artistic positions. Why such an approach to art is important, perhaps even necessary today?

as we now know not what is actually an object. an object is not what we think. it's more than that ...

and we do not know what is practical one. (And it is also more than that).

How did you get this idea that the artwork belongs to an ecosystem developed?

it does not belong only to themselves but also generates

by trying to understand or to describe how people use art works, or how they work, they can.

and by attempting to describe these things that have to date no visualizations or presentation form.

"Ish like pussies"

"Hi, I am Soko." A little shy, the little girl is with the snub nose and a very long dark hair Walle last Sunday before their concert at the amp. How deceiving first impressions can not.

The celebrated songwriter in all the arts pages asks the audience to be nice to the surprise guest, it was her brother. Then she hums softly to his guitar music mumbling into the microphone. With the oversized lumberjack shirt, striped cotton trousers and the depressive songs is their appearance verniedlichtem between grunge and hippie saddened. The native Parisian who lives in Los Angeles singing, hoarse and throaty to gracefully plucked guitar sounds. At times, she whispers, and when her voice breaks at the high notes, which sounds like a lot of heartache.

She makes an effort with their fans. In between songs Soko keeps asking whether another depressing song is okay. For those who have come for their older, naive, cheerful songs, the act of falling in love peanut butter and it's really not okay. But someone who invites the whole audience in his living room, you can not really be angry. Soko encourages her guests to the song from their new album "I thought I was an alien" as alien to dance and says that half the audience to love zombies. Then she laughs just like she sings hoarsely, charming, authentic.

Soko is not the gentle girl who apparently many in the audience expected. They prefer to sit at the drums and the bass drum skin broke laughing. While sad Californian beach music playing on his keyboard, Soko flirting with girls in the audience and pulls them on stage. She is shy no more than two prompts to celebrate a lesbian orgy and the same is still on its way, how to tell his parents that one is gay. "I like pussy," she exclaims loudly, the only words she can say in German. Then she sweetly sings again - as the song is from her burps. Yes also helps against the zombies in the audience. Soko has girlish charm and genuine humor, their music sounds just as she was in California getting a little sad.

Dear Prudence

In times where there are too many people in the underground or independent easy, with him always in his mouth, is welcome to find bands like Dear Prudence. They are five young men from Barcelona (Delago Carolina: guitar and vocals; Ik Miranda, guitars, Dede Camprubí: low; Anna Castañé: keyboards and vocals; Jotaeme Balibrea "Bali" battery) that his hobby and vocation want to make commitment. Music fans. A taste that haunts them and leads them to meet. That's when your criteria and illusions combine to form a band. Almost no time to realize and have a demo recorded, producing, recording and self-made design. Then begin to extend back as checks a banker, to take his first concert (and have been successful in the courtroom Be Cool) and generated a 2.0 space. So easy to make and come along. The musical activism at its best. If you like, what struggles. No interest or false diatribes on the modern or cool. Plain and dedication rasa must begin to enjoy.

Dear Prudence, as we say, have released a small EP of four songs craft dubbed 'Prelude'. An appetizer express the coordinates gives us enough to know where they want to navigate. Guitars thick, muscular sound, fast times. The voice of Carolina angular passages energizing the vital and the most restful coloring. Their sound transports us in part to the loudest pop of the 90's, but also to the more psychedelic seventies. The opening track on the model, 'I wish', gives us a penetrating mind to the rhythm guitar on his back that we took the tour of the entire song. A clue, a navigation signal. Then we find 'Kay', with a beautiful prelude guitar and a drum that announces air straight out of a western, which is center stage in a bright chorus. 'I sink' is the third in discord and serves as a counterpoint to the entire network. More gentle airs and echoes of apathy reflected in the lyrics. She leads us to the emergence of 'Digging' where the rhythm spreads through the pores. Noise pop with hints of bands girls moving hips with arms at your sides and hands outstretched. Pure energy and cries of desire to find a good love song.

Definitely a good way, that it taught short and leaves us wanting more. Knowing where to follow these five locals. His early promise a future right, and his way of doing things seems appropriate to go slowly gaining space corresponding to them in this huge world of sound.

Big Wreck: recovering the rock of the nineties with "Albatross"

We have to show some video clips amateur / live performances by our Facebook page. One of those who went up a couple of weeks ago was Big Wreck, an alternative rock band born in the late nineties which greatly resembles bands like Stone Temple Pilots, Candlebox or from a distance, Audioslave. Reviewing the discography of the group we have found that Boston has just released three albums, and one of them is "Albatross", LP released on 6 March that marks the return of Big Wreck after 11 long years without a single edit studio album.

Ian Thornley and his minions are not going bush. The mighty riff that opens practically 'Head Together' is a fine example of the very great vitality with these new Big Wreck.

This factor is present in both pieces near to hard rock ('Rest Of The World') and those with a small, tight, touch of alternative country (particular case of 'Wolves'). Also in this range of intensities are ballads, which ends up data confirm the fact that all the Big Wreck are stylistically very, very close to Stone Temple Pilots. If you are devotees of the West Coast is quite likely that you end up pleasing as published by these guys.

Be prepared for double neck guitars have been recovered from the trunk of memories. The return of the cane riffs, voices to become Cornell that stretch to infinity ... and become the solos. Yes, turn the guitar solos (fireworks go the final leg of 'A Million Days "). What more could we want?

Past and present in the video for 'Bittersweet Melodies' by Feist


Just a few minutes we discovered through Rolling Stone official video clip of 'Bittersweet Melodies', one of the more precious items of the brilliant "Metals" by Feist. Far from showing back stories set in Mexico, Canadian artist has chosen to offer a warm vision of duality "past / present" described in the Brazilian photographic works Irina Werning has been collected in recent years.

Bored Panda, Deia, or Demilked Altfoto are just some of the blogs that have echoed a photographic collection - "Back To The Future" - which has managed to be the most talked about and viralizadas in recent months. 'Bittersweet Melodies' is without doubt the best way to optimally enjoy one of the most curious galleries that we remember.
