  • Race for the Prize: the Proto-Selfie As Endurance Performance
    Race for the Prize: The Proto-Selfie as Endurance Performance Art Marc A. Tasman Abstract: In the paper “Race for the Prize: The Proto-Selfie as Endurance Performance Art,” the author characterizes a small group of artists (including himself) working on time-lapse, self-portrait photographic projects as competitive— in a race with distinct formal, aesthetic, and technical categories. Set on the cusp of the millennial change from 20th to 21st century, these self-portrait works suggested practices and modes of new digital materiality that helped to birth the phenomenon called “the Selfie.” In the few decades before this Web 2.0 debut, the self-portrait was already evolving with electronic media. Neo-avant-garde performance artists and post-modern photographers were making identity-fluid works, self-portraits that were highly performative, prefiguring the coming practices of self-representation in digital networks. An important link, a reference to the passage of time, reinforce a familiar theme in art history—memento-mori, which is a reminder to the viewer that our time alive is fleeting. In this way, along with other threads, including first-hand accounts by the quartet of time-lapse self-portrait artists, we can derive the context and continuity that connects antecedents to descendant selfie practices, ubiquitous in contemporary culture. 1. Introduction I am writing here ten years after the conclusion of the Ten Year Polaroid Project (Figure1), also known as Ten Years and One Day, twenty years after the start of my photo series. This is a project in which I photographed myself using a Polaroid camera and instant film for 3654 consecutive days, from 24 July 1999 through 24 July 2009.

  • Dave Fridmann • Producing Flaming Lips & Mercury
    Breathing Protection, Inc. Media Coverage BreathingProtection.com DAVE FRIDMANN • PRODUCING FLAMING LIPS & MERCURY REV Those who bemoan the lack of invention and experimentation in today's rock music must make an exception for Mercury Rev and the Flaming Lips, two of America's finest and most successful 'alternative' outfits. Their shared producer and engineer Dave Fridmann tells Sam Inglis about their unique approaches to recording. Two of the most innovative and critically acclaimed rock albums of recent years have been Mercury Rev's 1998 CD Deserter's Songs and the Flaming Lips' The Soft Bulletin, released last year. Both are remarkable for their sheer originality, for their blending of orchestral textures and heavily processed 'rock' instruments, and for their richness of ideas; and both were recorded and co-produced by Dave Fridmann at his Tarbox Road studio in upstate New York. Fridmann began his music career as an assistant studio engineer, and is now an established producer, but he has also spent a long time on the other side of the desk as a member of Mercury Rev. "I wanted to be in a band or something, but I figured the best way to meet other people in bands that were successful was to be an engineer," he explains. "One of the earliest projects I worked on was Mercury Rev, and I ended up hitching a ride with them. I toured with the group from '91 to '93 — but not any more, which is probably for the best for all of us. I enjoyed it, but once I got to be in a band, I realised that really wasn't all I wanted to do.

  • Agave Is Comprised Of
    AGAVE Established in 2001 After years of playing local San Diego venues and several line up changes, Agave has settled into their own as a respectable four-piece rock band with a raw and stripped down sound that draws from different styles of rock and reggae and brings them together with a laid back Southern California flair. The band’s latest album, Radiates Your Head is a positively infectious record that marries varied styles of rock and reggae with old-school punk and Latin overtones. It hits with intensity while simultaneously conjuring up the relaxed nuances of Southern California. Accomplishments: Agave is comprised of: • Headlines regularly at local San Diego music venues Rusty Bishop – Guitars, Vocals such as 710 Beach Club, Winstons, The Tiki House, Chris Flores – Drums, Percussion Coaster Saloon, Gallagher’s, The Harp, The Griffin John Metzger – Bass, Backing Vocals • Performs regularly at private engagements such as Tony Goncalves – Vocals weddings, private parties, and corporate functions locally and outside of the U.S. Contact Information: • Actively performs at major festivals such as Baja Bash, 619.548.5129 PB Block Party, Adams Avenue Street Fair, Oktoberfest, [email protected] as well as local charity events agaveband.com facebook.com/AgaveMusic • Released two self-produced albums: Get Some and agave.bandcamp.com Radiates Your Head which have been reviewed in several large-circulation publications • Has been featured in San Diego Reader Magazine for having the most downloaded song in the month of October, 2008 AGAVE SONG LIs AC/DC Cee Lo Green Gnarls Barkley Hells Bells F*@$ You Crazy You Shook Me All Night Long The Chemical Brothers Grateful Dead Allman Brothers Out Of Control Scarlet Begonias One Way Out Ramblin’ Man Creedence Clearwater Revival Green Day Whipping Post Bad Moon Rising Jesus Of Suburbia Welcome To Paradise Animals The Commodores House Of The Rising Sun Easy Guns N’ Roses It’s So Easy Babe Ruth The Doobie Brothers Mr.

  • Media and Sound
    Her 1967 debut with The Velvet Underground spawned one of rock’s most enduring works, but rather than becoming devoured by the New York Arts scene she risked it all, shunned the limelight, and dedicated the years until her premature death just two decades later, creating a body of work that was pioneering and marginalised; but all hers. Sharpened by text from the award-winning playwright EV Crowe and music by acclaimed composer Anna Clyne, The Nico Project is more than a tribute to a pop culture icon, it is a salute to one of the shaping forces of twentieth century counterculture. Acclaimed British actor Maxine Peake has performed in many roles on the screen and stage from Hamlet to a quick witted lawyer in BBC series Silk and a 19th century matriarch in Mike Leigh’s 2019 film Peterloo. The Nico Project will be performed exclusively at the Melbourne International Arts Festival in Australia following its UK // THEATRE premiere at the Manchester International Festival in July. AUSTRALIAN EXCLUSIVE The Nico Project is commissioned by Melbourne International Arts Festival, Manchester International Festival and the Royal Court THE NICO PROJECT Theatre. Produced by Manchester International Festival. Maxine Peake & Sarah Frankcom ‘Peake [has a] capacity for emotional directness and a fierce, uncensored honesty – The Guardian on Hamlet One of pop culture’s most original female artists, Nico has long remained one of its most enigmatic.
