BAMBú-ZLE!!

bambu-2

Artist Mike and Doug Starn takes double trouble to a new level. The twin brothers have created an architectural performance art piece that looks like a behemoth-size game of pick-up sticks with 2,000 poles of bamboo and 16 miles of nylon rope slowly crawling across the floor. Taking over a 50-foot space at the Tallix foundry in Beacon, New York the Big Bambú will showcase it’s evolving structure on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of every month this summer.

Helen Clemens: Eskimo Joe “Losing Friends Over Love”


Plaza Films’ Helen Clemens directs a curious odyssey for Eskimo Joe’s “Losing Friends Over Love” music video. The project’s gentle ambiance is shot through with streaks of tension, creating a compelling narrative arc within a claustrophobic world.

Animated by Pete Commins (Partizan), the video’s faux stop-motion feel, electro-mechanical props and use of room-based vignettes remind me a little of the classic Super Furry Animals “It’s Not the End of the World” video (created by David and Laurent Nicolas), but “Losing Friends” has a look-and-feel all its own, driven as it is by the innocent exploration of the lead character.

‘COCKSUCKER BLUES’ SURFACES ON WEB.

Bianca and Mick Jagger

Notoriously banned documentary, Cocksucker Blues, is available to be streamed in 9 parts on the web for what we’re sure will be a very limited time. We have no idea if it’s good, bad, whatever (hardly anyone has ever seen it fully) but we DO know it’s really hard to find. According to legend: Really massive epoch defining rock band- the Rolling Stones- thinks it’s a good idea to have a camera follow them around while touring for their most challenging, drug-addled record to-date until they see what’s on the film and then they ban it. Time heals all wounds so maybe everyone will be stoked for Cocksucker Blues to see the light of day but you never know, so run over HERE and watch that shit before it evaporates into thin air.
