What could have in common birds unable to Swim, fishes unwilling to fly and futuristic transformers dancing in front of post-soviet anachronical and eccentric buildings ? Chanted in Japanese by artist @saekokilly , Cakaha (fish in Japanese ) represents a surrealist dream of an iconoclast person refusing the current order of things as it is. Facing a perceived apocalyptic Zeitgeist, the melody becomes an hod to an absurd and disneylandish joy, free from the accelarating alienation of a violent material and digital realm. The video work is by Artist @ikurukuwajima and derivates from his personal research and artistic production of 2018 « City of Transformers ». #Transformers #brutalistarchitecture

« Cow-templated » under the paintbrush of my friend and one of the most talented painters of his generation @alireza.shojaian .This work is part of his current exhibition @bendanapinelartcontemporain , which I look forward to visiting soon. The subjective poor crop of the painting is simply to make the work more enjoyable for my mum if she comes across my account. Also, that day was quite cold…. ‘Cow-siderations’ of the day

I received in Paris today my copy of the LP, ‘Música Para Boliche’. Here, with 3 other great artists, I was invited by @jackbulgaro and @maledetta_discoteca_ to revisit a 80’s Argentinian disco song. The result is a composition named ‘tension salsable’, which I hope my friends, in particular the Porteños’, will enjoy. To get your copy ( legally), use the link /album/m-sica-para-boliche Picture @tessa.de.b

I wanted to repost this nice video project by @aswatomar and his @verycrude concept edited on a song I terminated a few years ago. The song ‘vaguement (haddadi)’ was developed as a rework of recordings conducted in Bahrain more than 50 years ago by the late Poul Rovsing Olsen. The original recordings belong to the original repertoire of the pearl divers, fidjiri, practicing their polyphonies on harsh pearling expedition on the sea as well as on shore, in dar, often located underground ( so to remain discrete, especially during the colonial era). The song was created for the transdisciplinary project ‘Nahma: a Gulf polyphony’ including a bilingual book ( Arabic-English) and 2 LP conceptualised by @fleeproject and various artists and researchers.

" HAPPY RELEASE DAY " MUSICA PARA BOLICHE COLORED BLUE VINYL LTD EDITION MAXI SINGLE 12" 4 Italo Argentinian killer tracks selected by @jackbulgaro . PRE ORDER NOW - LINK IN BIO. We are very happy about this ultimate international release. Thanks a lot to : @ariharari @martaparadisemusic @lanc.e____ @alanstrani and @jackbulgaro for the grapich design too. MÚSICA PARA BOLICHE takes us to Argentina. Along the journey, we will discover that Maradona is not the only thing we have in common with our cousins across the ocean. Let’s dive into the 1980s Buenos Aires scene, a time straddling dictatorship and disco music, in search of dusty gems forgot-ten even in their homeland. The EP contains four tracks spanning Italo, electro, and proto-house, carefully selected by Jack Bulgaro, restored, and nely edited by DJs from Italy and Argentina.

From the 15-22.06.24 I will be directing a short in Rome @pignetofilmfestival . I really look forward to it. Thank you to all of those who made this project possible, as it represents an interesting experimental platform to produce a work under space-time constraints surrounded by talented people in my favorite area of Rome.

L’artiste et photographe @minelligianpaolo s’est transformé l’espace d’un instant en réalisateur pour m’offrir ce beau cadeau: un diaporama de ses photos de l’exposition ‘IDOLATRIA CONCRETA’. Avec l’exposition, je voulais parler des manipulations qui se cachent derrière les nouvelles messes païennes véhiculées par les médias de masse. Quelques mois après la victoire de la coupe du monde par l’Argentine, il n’est pas sûr que le contexte s’y prêtait parfaitement… D’ailleurs ces célébrations bien orchestrées, prêtes à être consommées, font-elles de nous des idiots-utiles? Remplissent-elles légitimement notre besoin de remplir un possible vide en assouvissant des passions particulières ? Mais au final, notre attention ne se retrouve-t’elle pas catalysée à travers ce dispositif qui sature notre espace de/pour penser? Sommes-nous ainsi empêchés de réfléchir? Cette idée m’était venue à l’époque en me penchant sur le travail d’un artiste qui m’a réconcilié avec, ou peut-être fait découvrir,le ‘bon’ conceptualisme. Le produit de cette réflexion était un article qui s’intitulait ’le temps de l’esprit face à l’esprit du temps’ et dialoguait avec l’œuvre d’un très grand artiste, mon ami Vittorio Santoro. Aujourd’hui, en Argentine comme ailleurs, je crois que l’esprit du temps est impérial, pousse à l’immédiateté, le fait accompli, la violence, l’assouvissement accéléré des pulsions. Et dans ce contexte, c’est bien la loi du plus fort qui s’impose, le dialogue et le consensus qui s’éloignent: trop compliqués, trop long, trop nuancés, trop indigestes pour ma génération. Au-delà de ce constat ‘optimiste’, l’exposition aura permis de faire dialoguer ensemble un prêtre, un fan de foot et un Starchitecte moderniste. Elle aura aussi offert une plateforme à une réincarnation du veau d’or biblique à travers la vielle à roue de @dan.buchler . Je n’oublierai pas le soutien de personnes et d’institutions passionnées qui ont permis la naissance de qu’il faut bien appeler, finalement, un dialogue authentique. @minelligianpaolo @_renzo_longo @casa_suiza_de_la_boca @casacurutchet.capba @fundacionclorindotesta @bodegacolome @suizaargentina @alianzafrancesabsas
