A$AP Rocky Will Play Northside 2014-02-18 14:00 CET A$AP Rocky will play NorthSide The American rapper is joined by Oh Land, Temples, RY X, and The Minds of 99 at the Danish festival The last round of announcements prior to the presentation of the final poster for NorthSide 2014 contains a long desired dose of world class hip hop. A$AP Rocky It has been a longstanding ambition to get a great hip hop act on the poster for NorthSide, and with the addition of A$AP Rocky we have succeeded. The 25-year-old New Yorker released a mixtape in 2011, which was universally acclaimed and paved the way for a record deal and massive media coverage. The long-awaited debut album, "Long.Live.A$AP", was released in the autumn of last year and went straight to number one in his home country, where tracks like "Fuckin' Problems" and "Wild for the Night" pushed A$AP’s status as one of the most interesting new rappers right now. Here in Denmark, tickets for his latest show sold out in minutes, and we can’t wait to see the head of the A$AP Mob onstage at NorthSide. A$AP Rocky will play NorthSide Saturday 14th of June. Oh Land Nanna Øland has through three releases left her mark on the Danish music scene using sophisticated and intelligent pop that simultaneously manages to be both fun and full of life. Most recently, that was obvious on the album "Wish Bone", which included the hit "Renaissance Girls". The singer added a lot of colour to NorthSide in 2012 with a wonderful show, so we look forward to receiving another visit from Oh Land. Oh Land will play NorthSide Friday 13th of June. Temples Noel Gallagher has called them the best British band right now and listening to the excellent debut album, "Sun Structures", it is hard to disagree. Temples mixes psychedelic rock with elegant melodies that bring back memories of both The Beatles and Roky Erickson. So there is every reason to have high expectations for this summer and the band's first Danish concert. Temples will play NorthSide Friday 13th of June. RY X Australian Ry Cuming was discovered in Costa Rica, he now lives in Los Angeles, and last year he released the EP "Berlin" on a Swedish label. He has previously released music under his given name, but in 2012 he reinvented himself as RY X, which has had a huge impetus in his career. He has been compared to both Bon Iver and Ben Howard, and we are very excited to be able to present this fascinating new act for the audience at NorthSide. RY X will play NorthSide Friday 13th of June. The Minds of 99 Last year, the six friends in The Minds of 99 won national radio’s contest, KarriereKanonen, and since then their careers have taken off with rocket speed. They are still working on their debut album, but the first step toward success has already been taken with the single "Det er Knud som er død", which is P3's Unavoidable Track this week. KarriereKanonen showed that The Minds of 99 is a terrific live act, and thus they are a great addition to this year's program. The Minds of 99 will play NorthSide Saturday 14th of June. The following acts are now confirmed for NorthSide 2014: Ane Brun, Arcade Fire, A$AP Rocky, Baby in Vain, The Blue Van, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Cold Specks, Donkey Roadshow & Special Guests, Flogging Molly, Franz Ferdinand, Lana del Rey, Lucy Love, Lulu James, Mew, The Minds of 99, The Mountains, Mount Kimbie, The National, Nina Persson, MØ, Oh Land, Pixies, Quadron, Queens of the Stone Age, Röyksopp & Robyn Do It Again 2014, Rudimental, RY X, St. Vincent, Temples, Turboweekend, White Lies, and WhoMadeWho. NorthSide 2014 afvikles i Ådalen ved Aarhus i dagene 13.-15. juni, og billetter sælges via Billetlugen.dk. Besøg NorthSide.dk eller facebook.com/northsidefestival for mere info om NorthSide 2014.

  • Top Indian Fashion Designers Exhibit in Denmark
    Top Indian Fashion Designers Exhibit in Denmark INDIA : FASHION NOW Exhibition period: 18th August 2012 – 13th January 2013 “Now it’s all about India” – that’s how clearly the great German designer Karl Lagerfeld put it in 2012 when he launched his Metier d’Art collection for the fashion empire Chanel. And that’s what it’s all about at the Danish contemporary art museum ARKEN in the period 18th August – 13th January. In the museum’s first fashion exhibition INDIA : FASHION NOW, ARKEN Museum of Modern Art takes a close look at seven Indian fashion designers, all of whom have positioned themselves centrally on the international fashion scene. “The Indian fashion creators are leaving their imprint everywhere in the international fashion world. You see Katy Perry and Oh Land in star designer Manish Arora’s playful creations, Lady Gaga in Little Shilpa’s sculptural designs and Naomi Campbell on the catwalk in Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s fantastic dresses. It’s a veritable cornucopia of spectacular and breathlessly beautiful creations that the seven Indian designers are presenting in ARKEN’s exhibition,” says the museum’s director Christian Gether. Every one of the seven designers has been hand-picked for the exhibition and is part of the pace-setting Indian fashion scene that has grown up since the end of the nineties. These are designers who challenge and experiment with the traditional Indian garment culture. They transform Indian fashion through sophisticated stylistic experiments and develop the framework for what Indian fashion can be. With them they have some unique traditions of craftsmanship which they introduce into an international context and thus create a new, exciting idiom which elegantly or teasingly builds a bridge between the local and the global, between past and present.

  • Oh Land Works Her Black Magic in Some of Our Most Darkly Romantic Looks for Fall and Tells Us How She Discovered Her Inner Cave Man on Her New Album, Wish Bone
    HER DARK MATERIALS Danish pop princess Oh Land works her black magic in some of our most darkly romantic looks for fall and tells us how she discovered her inner cave man on her new album, Wish Bone. By Sharon Steel. Photographed by Marcelo Gomes. Styled by Anda & Masha The moment the Danish electro-pop artist Nanna Øland Fabricius, better known as Oh Land, steps in front of the camera for her Aritzia photo shoot, she extends her lithe limbs and does a hop-skip-jump that makes her resemble a graceful bird fluttering through the sky. Movements like this come easily to the former Royal Swedish Ballet student, who even based “Green Card,” one of the songs on her thrilling new album, Wish Bone, on birds that migrate south for winter. In the track’s luminous chorus, she compares the birds leaving their home to her own long-distance relationship. “Lyrically, I’ve been more raw and direct on this record,” Oh Land confides from her perch on the makeup chair, right before she goes into model-bird mode. “Instead of covering up in fantasies, it’s real places, real names, real episodes, with all the awkwardness that is real life!” Utterly endearing and quick to giggle, she tells us about expressing herself honestly through music, dance, and her “more humorous” sense of style. SHARON STEEL YOUR FIRST ALBUM, OH LAND, REFERENCED FANTASIES AND FABLES. WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO BE MORE HONEST ON WISH BONE? I think I just woke up a bit, and realized that I wanted to make music that reflected the life that I live right now and the person that I am right now, rather than the person that I aspire to be and the life that I dream to live.

  • Telepoem Booth® NMHU Text Book
    Telepoem Booth® NMHU by © Elizabeth Hellstern 2019 Collection of the New Mexico Arts Division Art in Public Places Program. TELEPOEM BOOTH® NMHU FULL TEXT Aronson, Rebecca Dear Gravity [On the trampoline my son and I].....................................(505) 276-3327 Dear Gravity, On the trampoline my son and I try to bounce each other over. We throw ourselves up to come down hard. We soar until we fall laughing and breathless to the surface. We fail to defy you over and over and that is the game. We are bodies making room for ourselves in space, pushing the invisible curtain out of the way. Nitrogen and oxygen and the other vapors ricocheting madly as I suppose they must always do. Everything I want is here: the breaths I take easily and the purposeful displacement of matter, my body feeling itself work and doing alright. A boy whose cells are also mine. We will never win the game. We are dying of laughter, and the light is fading, and the birds have started up their evening prattle that I think must have something to say about their allegiance to air even as they land and settle on high branches. Aronson, Rebecca Fire Country (beginning with a line from Tarfia Faizullah)...................(505) 276-3473 Because the sky burned, I had to unhinge my sooty eyes from their lingering. In the season of undoing, the tender heart-leaves of the new are shredded as soon as they arrive. Wind eats the view and scalds a wrecked swath like a medieval dragon as it moves across this land I’ve made a home of.
