He asked an intern to carve all the text onto his own torso with an X-Acto knife and photograph the result. This poster typifies Stefan Sagmeister’s at once striking and humorous style as well as his ability to come up with a compelling concept and execute it with a raw and straightforward technique. attitude Worrying The happy show Filling the Institute of Contemporary Art‘s entire solves second-floor galleries and ramp, and activating the in-between spaces of the museum, The Happy Show offers visitors the experience of walking into Stefan Sagmeister‘s mind as he attempts to increase his happiness via mediation, cognitive nothing therapy, and mood-altering pharmaceuticals. thinking Complaining is Silly CD cover and poster for Lou Reed The title song of Lou Reed‘s new album „Set the Twilight Reeling“ talks about a star newly emerging. We tried to illustrate the metamorphosis from his dark prince character to a new found man by utilizing a deep blue tinted jewel case in combination with a very bright printed portrait of Lou on the booklet cover. Opened up, the back of the booklet, the design of the CD itself and the tray card together form a diagram of an eclipse, - the ultimate twilight. The typographic style inside reflects the content of the lyrics. motivation You have to live now The happy film Stefan Sagmeister turns science on himself to determine if a person can influence their own happiness. Under the supervision of experts, he pursues 3 controlled trials of Mediation, Therapy, and Drugs, grading himself along the way. But real life creeps in and confounds the process: Art, death, sex, friendship, and love proof to be impossible to disentangle. By becoming the subject of a film at once so soaring and mundane, Stefan’s journey gives the rare opportunity to see our most basic human preoccupations in sharp focus and high relief – the questions many of us yearn to answer..

Hace Cuatro Años, Lou Reed Se Fue Caminando Tranquilo Por El Lado Salvaje
Hace cuatro años, Lou Reed se fue caminando tranquilo por el lado salvaje Cerebro y motor de Velvet Underground , agrupación estadounidense que influyó a cuanta vanguardia contracultural se levantara por la música de Occidente desde fines de los años 60, Lou Reed estuvo siempre allá arriba. A los 71 años dejó este mundo un día 27 de octubre de 2013, yéndose tranquilo, caminando por ese lado de la vía que siempre le atrajo. Generalmente incomprendido, aunque siempre respetado, el músico colaboró permanentemente a la cultura de darle el beneficio a la duda a todo lo que se moviera. Con la muerte del destacado artista se fueron casi cincuenta años de música rock, industria en la que el compositor y guitarrista influyó enormemente. Foto original de Guido Harari. Con una carrera que compartió con igual intensidad talento con excesos, Reed había optado en la última década por una vida más ordenada y tranquila. A pesar de eso, la salud cobraba sus cuentas y en mayo del 2013 se sometió a un complejo transplante de hígado, del cual -al parecer- nunca quedó bien, según la revista musical estadounidense Rolling Stone. Casado durante muchos años con la cantante y artista visual Laurie Anderson, Reed tuvo que enfrentar el último tiempo con un permanente deterioro de su salud. Nacido y criado en Brooklyn , sus primeros pasos en el mundo de la música van de la mano del artista Andy Warhol y su activa Factory de los prolíficos años 60. Su álbum debut, el que pasó a calidad de clásico también por su portada hecha por el propio Warhol en la que sólo aparece un plátano, incluye verdaderos clásicos como “Heroin”.

Make Them Vomit« Heroin Von the Velvet Underground
Z Literaturwiss Linguistik (2016) 46:183–200 DOI 10.1007/s41244-016-0013-7 THEMENBEITRAG »Make them vomit« Heroin von The Velvet Underground Gerhard Kaiser Online publiziert: 19. Juli 2016 © J.B. Metzler Verlag GmbH, Stuttgart 2016 Zusammenfassung Der Beitrag schlägt eine ›dichte Beschreibung‹ des Songs He- roin vor, der auf dem ersten Album von The Velvet Underground im Jahr 1967 erschien. Meine These lautet, dass Heroin – vor dem Hintergrund der pop-histori- schen Umwälzungen in der zweiten Hälfte der 1960er Jahre, die man als eine ›Sattel- zeit‹ der Popmusik ansehen kann – aus einem dreifachen Prozess der ›Verkunstung‹ resultiert, der auf verschiedenen Typen von Konventionsverletzung beruht. Diese betreffen die konventionellen Regeln der Verpackung (Andy Warhols Bananenco- ver), ebenso textliche (die ebenso neutrale wie pointiert literarische Darstellung des Drogenkonsums) und musikalische Konventionen (J. Cales dissonante Viola-Per- formance und M. Tuckers ebenso dilettantisches wie geniales Schlagzeug), die in ihrer Kombination eine jener provokanten Grenzüberschreitungen ergeben, welche die Grammatik und Semantik der populären Musik nachhaltig verändert haben. Da- rüber hinaus besitzt das Ende des Stückes einen jener seltenen Momente, der sich, unter Bezug auf die Arbeiten von Roland Barthes und des Pop-Theoretikers Diedrich Diederichsen, als ›punctum‹ bezeichnen lässt. Schlüsselwörter Popkultur · Dichte Beschreibung · Pop Art · Punktum · Performance »Make them vomit« Heroin by The Velvet Underground Abstract The article offers a »thick description« of the song Heroin, which ap- peared on the ﬁrst album of The Velvet Underground in 1967. My thesis is that Heroin – against the backdrop of pop-historical upheavals of the second half of G. Kaiser () Universität Göttingen, 37073 Göttingen, Deutschland E-Mail: [email protected] 184 G.
