Peter Saville – S1:E5 “Peter Saville – OUTPUT – Gutta cavat lapidem” vai alla prima parte Playlist per OUTPUT|Saville – parte seconda: Gutta cavat lapidem La necessità di cambiare le carte in tavola nel mondo del rock, da parte di artisti che volevano imporre un nuovo linguaggio creativo, lo hanno fatto con costanza e determinazione, come una goccia che scava la “roccia”.(Valerio Michetti) La Factory di Wilson e Saville risponde all’urgenza di trovare “spiriti affini che potessero capire e reagire” [Post Punk: 1978-1984, Simon Reynolds] Le scelte grafiche permetteranno alla Factory e ai gruppi che rappresentano di fare da confine con l’era post punk, figli di un’eleganza austera, spezzano la prospettiva romantico pre punk e lo stereotipo new wave. Costruiscono il profilo visuale della loro vocazione neo modernista, hanno un catalogo irragionevole e sballato, pieno di idee fasulle e di progetti mai realizzati benedetti da dio Duchamp: Fac 8 era una clessidra mestruale ideata e mai prodotta da Linder Sterling; Fac 99 era il conto del dentista di Robert Gretton, codirettore della Factory. “Per Wilson, questo genere di trovate rientrava nello spirito del situazionismo, lo spirito francese anarco-dadaista degli anni sessanta, le cui idee ammirava particolarmente” [Post Punk: 1978-1984, Simon Reynolds] È una visione dell’arte che butta giù i muri che la separano dallo scenario quotidiano che circonda l’artista, oggetti decontestualizzati prendono vita e sono protagonisti altrove, come il segnale di pericolo rubato dalla residenza universitaria, cui si ispirò per la realizzazione del manifesto della Factory, disegnato nel maggio del 1978: Fac 1, opera classico-modernista che possiamo far rientrare nella corrente dello “sleeve design”. Stampa giallo su nero per i concerti di maggio/giugno ’78, le bands in primo piano erano: Joy Division, Durutti Column, The Tiller Boys, Cabaret Voltaire, Jilted John, Big In Japan e Manicured Noise. fac 1 – poster factory La prima produzione fu Fac 2: “A Factory Sample”, doppio ep Factory ?– Gatefold Sleeve (Various artists: Joy Division, The Durutti Column, John Dowie, Cabaret Voltaire) con la copertina argentata e pieghevole, che Paul Morley descrisse così: “Era così speciale, il fatto che fosse così bello dimostrava quante possibilità esistessero.” A Factory sample Anti intellettuali di grande cultura, scettici verso l’arte istituzionale, Saville e i suoi si ornano di un velo di situazionismo rifiutando il concetto del profitto, i gruppi non firmavano contratti e rimanevano proprietari della loro musica, al fine di raggiungere una specie di perfezione estetica spesso disastrosa, le copertine erano a volte così costose da uccidere ogni possibilità di profitto, come il celebre caso della copertina del singolo Blue Monday, dei New Order. Questa copertina ebbe un grandissimo impatto comunicativo, nacque da un floppy disc poggiato su un piano dello studio di registrazione della band. Saville è attratto dalla semplicità dell’oggetto e dalla sua simbologia evocativa, al tempo diffusissima novità tecnologica dai molti utilizzi, la copertina è piena della sola immagine stilizzata di un floppy, nessuna riferimento alla band, al titolo, all’etichetta. Le informazioni sono sul retro in un’unica scritta: “FAC SEVENTY THREE”, unita a una serie di blocchi colorati, all’interno troviamo una seconda copertina argentata fustellata. La realizzazione costò alla Factory records la perdita di 5 pens a cover. Le ristampe successive subirono un’ottimizzazione finalizzata alla riduzione dei costi, nelle riedizioni del 1988 e 1995, la fustellatura venne sostituita da una stampa color argento. Blue monday, New Order Blue Monday è tratto da Power Corruption And Lies, dei New Order, trova ispirazione in una semplice cartolina della National Gallery, raffigura “A Basket of Roses” una natura morta dipinta ad olio nel 1890 dal pittore francese impressionista Fantin Latour: «Il titolo del disco sembrava machiavellico. Così sono andato alla National Gallery a cercare un ritratto rinascimentale di un principe oscuro. Alla fine però mi sembrava troppo banale, così ci ho rinunciato e ho comprato delle cartoline al negozio di souvenir. Era un’idea meravigliosa. I fiori suggerivano come potere, corruzione e menzogne si infiltrano nelle nostre vite. Sono seducenti» Sul retro Saville cita la mercificazione dell’arte, inserisce un codice da decifrare attraverso la ruota cromatica che riempie la seconda di copertina. Il codice cromatico risolto risponde alla scritta “FACT 75”, 75esima release di Factory Records. Power Corruption and Lies, New Order, un’unica immagine con fronte retro Più di ogni altra copertina che ha realizzato,Technique testimonia la decontestualizzazione postmoderna dell’idea di Saville. Nel 1989 vide la scultura di pietra di un cherubino in un mercatino dell’antiquariato di Pimlico Road, un’immagine perfetta per rappresentare il sentimento materialista e libertino che si stava affermando in quel periodo, in cui musica e arte si coprono di un manto di edonismo, nell’abuso di droghe bramano piacere e pace dei sensi. La scultura venne fotografata da Trevor Key, stretto collaboratore di Saville, e divenne il soggetto perfetto dell’opera FAC 289, New Order, Technique campaign, febbraio 1989. Technique, New Order segue… .

Abstract There is a dark mythology surrounding the post-punk band Joy Division that tends to foreground the personal history of lead singer Ian Curtis. However, when evaluating the construction of Joy Division’s public image, the contributions of several other important figures must be addressed. This thesis shifts focus onto the peripheral figures who played key roles in the construction and perpetuation of Joy Division’s image. The roles of graphic designer Peter Saville, of television presenter and Factory Records founder Tony Wilson, and of photographers Kevin Cummins and Anton Corbijn will stand as examples in this discussion of cultural intermediaries and collaborators in popular music.

License: Creative Commons Attribution Non-commercial No Derivatives Unless otherwise stated, copyright owned by the author The Top of the Poppers sing and play punk Russ Bestley, London College of Communication By the mid-1970s, the music industry had a long history of accommodating and recuperating teenage rebellion, and punk’s defiant message of radical change also offered new opportunities for commercial enterprise. A rush to sign new bands who could be (broadly) associated with punk, and the concomitant shift toward ‘new wave’ styles, led to a degree of UK chart success for a number of groups. The inclusion of punk and new wave songs on a series of low-budget compilations featuring cover versions of contemporary hits strikes a particularly discordant tone with punk’s self-styled image of a break with traditional music industry conventions. The albums released on the longstanding budget compilation series Top of the Pops between mid-1977 and early 1982 tell an interesting story about the cultural recuperation of punk, new wave and post-punk, and ask questions, perhaps, about the legitimacy of punk’s often mythologised ‘outsider status’.

  • Cooke Key at Virgin
    Creative Review - 2013 - November (With grateful thanks to Creative Review) The 40-year-old Virgin Virgin Records turns 40 this year. The label which made defying convention its enduring philosophy has now become thoroughly absorbed into the mainstream music business. Its famous founder has long since departed, selling first to EMI which then, in 2012, sold the label on to Universal. But with help from creative studio This is Real Art, Virgin is marking its anniversary by reminding us of the contribution it made not just to music but also to the visual culture of the past four decades. To begin, Daniel Benneworth-Gray interviews one of Virgin's key creative contributor Brian Cooke ... Richard Branson (second left) and staff in a chaotic Virgin Records shop following the release of Never Mind the Bollocks in 1977. Photograph by Barry Plummer. VIRGIN AT 40: COOKE, KEY, JV The Knavesmire, a vast wedge of green on the outskirts of York. Every weekend, this is the launch site for a pair of tourist-packed hot air balloons. They inflate, they rise, they serenely bob over the city. Silent and graceful except for the vast word emblazoned on each one, screaming down at all below. Virgin. Nearby is the studio of Brian Cooke. In the late 70s and early 80s, he and partner Trevor Key were Cooke Key Associates, design agency to the burgeoning Virgin Records. In their time working for the label, the two photographers were responsible for more than 150 album covers and related marketing materials. 1 With Branson's label celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, Cooke is reflecting upon the agency's work.

VOOR Er bestaan in mijn optiek maar twee stromingen binnen de muziek, te weten goede en slechte. De goede is doorgaans authentiek en de gevoelens die Ian Curtis, frontman van Joy Division, bezong leken mij als tiener in de jaren 80 oprecht, hij had er niet voor niets een einde aan gemaakt. De muziek hoorde bij de stroming New Wave, waar ik actief onderdeel van werd . Generatie Nix, de naam die mijn generatie meekreeg, zou toch geen werk vinden en de atoomoorlog zou spoedig beginnen. I wear black on the outside because black is how I feel on the inside zei Morrisey en daar kan ik me tot op de dag van vandaag in vinden... In dit referaat ga ik op zoek naar mijn muzikale en sociale roots en naar de achtergronden van het verhaal van een bijzondere en alternatieve onderneming. New Wave, de stroming voor de subcultuur der alternatieven waarvan Ian Curtis pionier was, vond zijn oorsprong halverwege de jaren 70 in de tegendraadse Punk.

This model was expanded upon by musicians in England and Germany during the late-1970s who developed the popular music style called Industrial as a fusion of experimental popular music sounds, performance art theatricality, and avant-garde composition.

    Stand-Up Comedy and Everyday Life: Post-war British Comedy and the Subversive Strain. Christopher Ritchie. Goldsmiths College, London, Ph. D Drama, 1998. - ME Ia- AM GOLDSMITHS 87 0079879 6 Abstract. This thesis "examinee,,, its to life , . stand-up comedy and relation everyday and presents a model of everyday life in the commodity society. It seeks to define stand up comedy and how it works as a performance mode and will offer a definition of the stand-up comedian. It will examine how jokes reflect opinions and attitudes within everyday life and how they can communicate negative cultural myths, stereotypes and ideologies but also reach beyond the merely absurd and comical to present authentic moments that enable us to locate the truth about ourselves. The thesis seeks to locate a stand-up comedy that enables us to understand ourselves in relation to life in the commodity society. The thesis traces a subversive lineage through post-Second World War comedy from The Goon Show through the satirists of the 1960s and Monty Pylhon's Flying Circus to Alternative Comedy and stand-up comedians in the present day. The 'Alternative Comedy moment' between 1979 and 1981 is central to the thesis as is the relation to American stand-up comedy, Punk and the rise of reactionary humour in Britain. Alternative Comedy is identified and placed in a social, political and counter-cultural context. The achievements and failures of this comedy will be discussed with particular focus on the redefinition of the role of women and sexual politics in stand-up comedy and the creation of a thriving London cabaret and comedy scene.

  • Peter Saville R
    S1:E6 “Peter Saville – JOY – Nothing but a Fool” vai alla prima parte vai alla seconda parte Playlist per JOY|Saville parte terza: Alea iacta est: il dado ormai è tratto e non si torna indietro, la new wave e il post punk dal 1977 (riconosciuto universalmente come anno di svolta) hanno dato alle fiamme tutto e hanno fatto proseliti… (Valerio Michetti) Il percorso attraverso la carriera di Peter Saville, porta inevitabilmente al suo lavoro con i Joy Division, subendo una volta in più l’ondata di emozioni che ci travolge ogni volta che guardiamo quelle copertine e ascoltiamo la loro musica. Il 1979 è l’anno di Unknown pleasure. Pausa, respiro lungo, lento e profondo. Unknown pleasure Peter Saville attinge alla Cambridge Encyclopedia Of Astronomy e prende l’immagine dei cento impulsi consecutivi della prima stella “pulsar” mai scoperta, la CP1919, composta di neutroni, derivanti dal collasso gravitazionale di una stella massiccia durante un’esplosione stellare supernova. Il 28 novembre 1967, Jocelyn Bell Burnell e Antony Hewish osservarono degli impulsi di onde radio dal cielo provenienti dalla costellazione di Vulpecola, intuirono che non poteva essere un’origine artificiale a causare questa “interferenza” magnetica. Hewish e Burnell dubitarono di aver colto le prove di una civiltà aliena, ma in virtù dell’origine misteriosa del segnale, lo battezzarono LGM-1, “Little Green Men”. Saville riflette l’immagine in negativo, ne riduce le dimensioni per sovrapporla allo sfondo nero e la stampa su carta testurizzata, ottiene un effetto di movimento fluttuante dolce e malinconico, davanti al quale siamo disarmati. La lega così alla bellezza e alla solitudine della musica dei Joy Division, che ci arriva da lontane profondità insondabili, la radiazione poetica ci rende totalmente succubi dell’impatto emotivo cosmico.

  • Boo-Hooray Catalog #6: Factory Records
    Boo-Hooray Catalog #6: The Factory Catalog Terms: Usual. Not onerous. Boo-Hooray is proud to present our sixth antiquarian catalog, The Factory Catalog. This catalog gathers pieces from the material history of one of the most forward-thinking record labels of the 20th Century. Renowned for inventive and genre-pushing music, innovative design, and a tongue-in-cheek take on themselves and the world, Factory Records helped shape the post-punk era as well as modern design and typography. Reflecting their deep involvement in the creation of not just records but an alternative music subculture, social scene, and aesthetic language, Factory Records gave catalog numbers to virtually anything associated with the label. Accessioning items as seemingly unimportant as stationery and Christmas gifts, along with more serious projects like their club and promotional campaigns, fostered the cheeky and self- aware personality that distinguished Factory from corporate labels and overly self-serious independents. This catalog includes the unreleased and exceptionally rare FAC 1 poster, the hand-drawn original flipbook by Robert Breer and William Wegman for the Blue Monday '88 video, and tons of original poster, flyers, and broadsides made for Factory Records. For over a decade, we have been committed to the organization, stabilization, and preservation of cultural narratives through archival placement. Today, we continue and expand our mission through the sale of individual items and smaller collections. We invite you to our space in Manhattan’s Chinatown, where we encourage visitors to browse our extensive inventory of rare books, ephemera, archives and collections by appointment or chance.
