  • Iconic Artist
    Artist, Musician and Poet Patti Smith’s New Photography and Installation Work to be Presented at the Wadsworth Atheneum HARTFORD, Conn., May 26, 2011 – From her explorations of artistic expression with friend and vanguard photographer Robert Mapplethorpe in the 1960s and 70s to her profound influence on the nascent punk rock scene in the late 1970s and 80s, pioneering artist, musician, and poet Patti Smith has made her mark on the American cultural landscape throughout her 40-year career. This fall, an exhibition of Smith’s work will premiere at the Wadsworth Atheneum, featuring over sixty new photographs and multimedia installations created between 2002 and 2011. The first museum presentation of Smith’s work in the United States in nearly ten years, Patti Smith: Camera Solo will highlight the continual symbiosis between Smith’s photography and her interest in poetry and literature and is on view from October 21, 2011 – February 19, 2012. “Patti Smith’s photography, shaped over decades of observation, commemorates the artists, poets, authors, family and friends from whom she draws inspiration. Modest in scale and shot solely in black and white, they are sometimes disquieting and often beautiful, but always intimate,” said Susan Talbott, Director and CEO, Wadsworth Atheneum. “We are thrilled to present this work at the Wadsworth Atheneum where Smith’s mentor Sam Wagstaff was curator and the work of her dear friend Robert Mapplethorpe was the subject of two separate exhibitions.” Patti Smith: Camera Solo will present approximately sixty black-and-white silver gelatin prints photographed with her vintage Polaroid camera. In the era of digital imaging and manipulation, Smith’s works champion the use of photography in its most classical sense: as a tool to document a “found” moment.

  • Le Hurlement Du Papillon Performance Poétique
    performance poétique un projet du collectif de création Piment, Langue d’oiseau le hurlement du papillon performance poétique Le hurlement du papillon est une exploration poétique et musicale de l’univers de Patti Smith. Une comédienne, une musicienne et un musicien se proposent de faire découvrir à travers ce spectacle, une des facettes moins connue public francophone de Patti Smith : sa poésie. Le parcours retrace une œuvre littéraire de 1970 à aujourd’hui, dans la pure inspiration de la poésie happening américaine, mouvement initié dans les années soixante par des personnalités telles que John Giorno, William Burroughs, Alan Ginsberg, Brion Gysin... Photo Robert Mappelthorpe (1974) Comme elle a souvent l’habitude de le faire lors de ses récitals poétiques, ses poèmes, ici dits en français, seront accompagnés d’univers sonores et musicaux originaux, joués en direct par les musiciens. Le hurlement du papillon est aussi un voyage survolant sa carrière musicale par la reprise d’une chanson de chacun de ses albums de « Horses » (1975) à « Trampin’ » (2004). Le parti pris de sobriété de sa forme en fait un spectacle s’adaptant aussi bien aux théâtres ou aux festivals de rue, ainsi qu’aux petits lieux insolites. Photo Annie Leibowitz (1995) Poète, auteur, compositeur, photographe, peintre, Patti Smith, née en 1946 est une artiste, un esprit libre qui fascine par la multiplicité de ses moyens d’expression, par la pureté de son parcours artistique sans concession. Ainsi traverse t’elle les courants, les modes et donc le temps. Les poèmes interprétés dont « le hurlement du papillon » seront choisis dans les deux recueils parus aux éditions Tristram : « La mer de corail » & « Corps de plane » qui regroupent des textes parus entre 1970 & 1979 ; ouvrages édités en France en 1996 & 1998.

POV online pressroom: www.pbs.org/pov/pressroom “Patti Smith: Dream of Life” Presents Evocative Portrait of the Legendary Rocker and Artist, Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2009, at 9 p.m. in Special Presentation on PBS’ POV Smith was both participant and witness to a seminal scene in American culture; film portrays her friendships and work with Robert Mapplethorpe, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Sam Shepard and Bob Dylan “Created over a heroic 11 years … a lovely … first feature. … Mr. Sebring creates a structure for the film in which past and present seem to flow effortlessly and ceaselessly into each other.” — Manohla Dargis, The New York Times Shot over 11 years by acclaimed fashion photographer Steven Sebring, “Patti Smith: Dream of Life” is a remarkable plunge into the life, art, memories and philosophical reflections of the legendary rocker, poet and artist. Sometimes dubbed the “godmother of punk” — a designation justified by clips of her early rage-fueled performances — Smith was much more than that when she broke through with her 1975 debut album, Horses. A poet and visual artist as well as a rocker, she befriended and collaborated with some of the brightest lights of the American counterculture, an often testosterone-driven scene to which she brought a swagger and fierceness all her own. In “Patti Smith: Dream of Life,” the artist’s memories of these times, and of a period of domestic happiness and the tragedies that brought her back to the stage, attain an intense, hypnotic lyricism, much like that of her own songs.

  • Patti Smith, Polar Music Prize Laureate 2011 Patti Smith, Born In
    Patti Smith, Polar Music Prize Laureate 2011 Patti Smith, born in Chicago in 1946, the oldest of four siblings, was raised in South Jersey. From an early age she gravitated toward the arts and human rights issues. She studied at Glassboro State Teachers College and migrated to New York City in 1967. She teamed up with art student Robert Mapplethorpe and the two encouraged each other’s work process, both of them pursuing painting and drawing and she poetry. In February 1971 Smith performed her first public reading at St. Mark’s Church on the lower eastside, accompanied by Lenny Kaye on guitar. In April of the same year she co-wrote and performed the play Cowboy Mouth with playwright Sam Shepard. Continuing to write and perform her poetry, in 1974 Smith and Lenny Kaye added Richard Sohl on piano. As a trio they played regularly around New York, including the legendary Max’s Kansas City, centering on their collective and varied musical roots and her improvised poetry. The independent single release, Hey Joe/Piss Factory, featured Tom Verlaine. Along with the highly innovative and influential group Television, the trio helped to open up a restricted music scene that centered at CBGBs in New York City. After recruiting guitarist Ivan Kral, they played CBGBs for eight weeks in the Spring of 1975 and then added drummer Jay Dee Daugherty. Smith described their work as “three chords merged with the power of the word.” Smith was signed by Clive Davis to his fledgling Arista label and recorded four albums: Horses (produced by John Cale), Radio Ethiopia (produced by Jack Douglas), Easter (produced by Jimmy Iovine), which included her top twenty hit Because the Night, co-written with Bruce Springsteen, and Wave (produced by Todd Rundgren).

  • Diciembre 2008 Poesía. Colección Apuntes De Estética ARTIUM a Veces Patti Smith Se Llama Arthur, Y Otras Veces Bob
    Diciembre 2008 Poesía. Colección Apuntes de Estética ARTIUM A veces Patti Smith se llama Arthur, y otras veces Bob. Benjamín Prado Algunas personas son demasiado crueles para ser un héroe y otras demasiado inteligentes como para que las cosas les ocurran por casualidad. No es casual, por tanto, que sean Bob Dylan y Patti Smith, dos compositores cuyas canciones tienen a menudo el rango de un buen poema, quienes hayan encabezado una campaña internacional para salvar la casa de Londres donde los poetas franceses Arthur Rimbaud y Paul Verlaine mantuvieron un romance legendario en 1872, y donde tanto uno como otro escribieron algunos de sus versos más célebres. Dylan y Smith han señalado siempre a Rimbaud como una de sus principales influencias, ambos lo mencionan en sus obras, él le puso a su guitarra eléctrica el nombre del poeta y ella ha llegado a publicar un poema en el que cuenta un sueño erótico con el joven padre de todos los escritores malditos: «el joven arthur merodea / por la granja (¿roche?) la bomba el pozo / artesiano. lanza vidrio verde conocido como desecho de cristal. / me pega en el ojo. // estoy arriba en la habitación vendando mi herida. él / entra. se apoya contra el dosel. sus mejillas rosadas. / aire desdeñoso manos grandes. lo encuentro endiabladamente sexy. / cómo ocurrió pregunta indiferente. demasiado indiferente. / levanto el vendaje. muestro mi ojo ensangrentado hecho un desastre, / un sueño de Poe. se queda asombrado. // se lo explico rápida bruscamente. alguien me lo hizo. tú me lo hiciste. / se cae sobre la cama. llora. me coge por las rodillas.

  • Media Release “OBJECTS of LIFE”, a MULTIMEDIA
    Media Release “OBJECTS OF LIFE”, A MULTIMEDIA EXHIBITION BY STEVEN SEBRING AND PATTI SMITH artMbassy: February 8th until February 14th In conjunction with the world premiere of Dream of Life at Sundance 2008, artMbassy Gallery will feature “objects of life”, a multimedia installation of objects, photographs and video inspired by Steven Sebring’s filming of the artist, singer and songwriter Patti Smith. The installation will be on display from February 8th until February 14th. The film Dream of Life is a hypnotic plunge into the philosophy and artistry of cult rocker Patti Smith. This portrait of the legendary musician, artist and poet explores themes of spirituality, history and the human condition. Known as the godmother of punk, Patti Smith emerged in the 1970’s, galvanizing the music scene with her unique style of poetic rage, music and trademark swagger. The collaborative multimedia exhibition “objects of life” was inspired by photographer and director Steven Sebring’s experience shooting the film Dream of Life. During the course of filming he became fascinated by the history and mythology behind the possessions and personal treasures that Patti Smith shares with us during the film’s most intimate moments. It resulted in the desire to return to his roots as a photographer and to recontextualize through his camera lens, the sacred, and the common place; the effect is both anthropologic and sentimental, collapsing cultural differences in iconographic similarity, while revealing the object’s character and lasting beauty. “objects of life” consists of 14 large scale photographs taken by Sebring. This collection ranges from Patti Smith’s childhood dress, to an ancient urn containing the remains of Robert Mapplethorpe, to black leather boots that have stomped around the world.

I know I am not just a fashion photogra - pher. And Patti Smith is certainly not just a rock icon. She is much more. For me, this movie is about discovering who Patti Smith is. This process of discovery has taken place over the course of 11 in - credible years of filming. I can’t believe it, but a quarter of my life has been spent framing her in my lens. And through this film, I want to channel that experience to the audience. It all happened so organically. I was just interested in her and in get - ting to know her as a person. As our friendship blossomed over a decade, and as I got to know her, my lens was getting to know her as well. Patti is a constant reminder to me that there’s an urgency in the world. everyone sits back in his or her comfort zone. No one goes to record stores and researches new artists anymore. So few people are out there knocking down the walls. Nowadays, everything is presented to us in an easily digestible format, accessible with the click of a button. The world we live in almost doesn’t seem real. I grew up with the top hits mTV fed me.
