  • (Bass & Vocals), Bruce Gilbert
    WIRE 1977–1980 Wire were formed by Colin Newman (guitar & vocals), Graham Lewis (bass & vocals), Bruce Gilbert (guitar) and Robert Grey (drums). The band subjected themselves to a lengthy period of intense, 12-hour rehearsals, honing their (admittedly basic) musical skills until razor-sharp. What emerged was a version of rock shorn of all ornamentation and showbusiness. Newman and Gilbert’s chord sequences often took unexpected turns, Graham Lewis’s unique lyrics were vivid but oblique, and Grey’s drumming was minimal and metronomic. They may have arrived at the same time as punk and drawn on its initial burst of energy, but Wire’s forward-looking attitude meant they always stood apart from it. In fact, Wire could easily lay claim to having been the very first post- punk band. And yet, it’s equally true to say they could be viewed as part of the British tradition of left-field art-school bands that includes Roxy Music and The Pink Floyd. Wire played their debut proper at London’s Roxy club on 1 April, 1977. The band were immediately picked up by prodigious EMI offshoot label Harvest, and their debut album Pink Flag was released in December of the same year. The album was a collection of 21 songs, many of them sharp, abrasive and extremely short – six didn’t even make the one-minute mark. Yet many tracks, such as ‘12XU’ and ‘Ex-Lion Tamer’, are now rightly regarded as classics. Pink Flag received near universal acclaim and would be cited as a major influence on a panoramic range of artists, including Big Black, My Bloody Valentine, Blur, Henry Rollins, Joy Division and R.E.M.

The Animate Object Of Kinetic Art, 1955-1968 Abstract This dissertation examines the development of kinetic art—a genre comprising motorized, manipulable, and otherwise transformable objects—in Europe and the United States from 1955 to 1968. Despite kinetic art’s popularity in its moment, existing scholarly narratives often treat the movement as a positivist affirmation of postwar technology or an art of mere entertainment. This dissertation is the first comprehensive scholarly project to resituate the movement within the history of performance and “live” art forms, by looking closely at how artists created objects that behaved in complex, often unpredictable ways in real time. It argues that the critical debates concerning agency and intention that surrounded moving artworks should be understood within broader aesthetic and social concerns in the postwar period—from artists’ attempts to grapple with the legacy of modernist abstraction, to popular attitudes toward the rise of automated labor and cybernetics. It further draws from contemporaneous phenomenological discourses to consider the ways kinetic artworks modulated viewers’ experiences of artistic duration.

  • XXXIV Edizione Time Zones Programma
    XXXIV edizione 21 Settembre – 16 Novembre 2019 “AD MUSEUM” Sabato 21 Settembre Ore 21,00 – Chiostro di Santa Chiara – Bari Midori Hirano (JAP) Musicista, compositrice, sound artist e producer giapponese, nata a Kyoto e residente a Berlino dal 2008. Ha pubblicato in totale sette album da solista e si è esibita in eventi come Boiler Room Berlin, Club Transmediale, Heroines of Sound Festival, Rotterdam International Film Festival e L.E.V. Festival. Delphine Dora (FR) Pianista, cantante, improvvisatrice, compositrice e fondatrice del marchio Wild Silence, Nel suo album “Eudaimon”, licenziato da three: four records, mette in musica i versi della poetessa Kaithleen Raine. La sua musica è considerata intima, selvaggia, strana, inclassificabile. *** Domenica 22 Settembre Ore 21,00 – Chiostro di Santa Chiara – Bari Surma (POR) La musica di Surma è un mix insolito di suoni elettronici, che combina con loop ed effetti. Il risultato è una musica tenue e accattivante, che si colloca tra jazz e ambient. La sua origine portoghese affiora con un soffio di nostalgia e a tratti sembra ricordare Björk e Imogen Heap. Carmine Padula (ITA) Giovanissimo pianista e compositore italiano, nato a Foggia nel 2000, incomincia gli studi di pianoforte all’età di 11 anni. Vincitore di numerosi concorsi nazionali ed internazionali, nel luglio 2015 ha vinto il I Festival della città di Foggia con due sue composizioni per pianoforte ed ensemble, aggiudicandosi il primo posto assoluto tra oltre 80 gruppi partecipanti. *** Sabato 28 Settembre Ore 21,00 – Palazzo De Mari – Acquaviva delle Fonti (Ba) Arcoiris Ensemble (ITA-IND) I due chitarristi acustici Fausto Ciotti e Andrea Moriconi, insieme al tablista indiano Sanjay Kansa Banik, propongono la loro originale miscela di world music: atmosfere mediterranee e bossa nova con un pizzico di funky.

La prima impressione che abbiamo avuto è che il 2008 abbia fornito alcuni titoli 'sostanziosi', su cui si è concentrata l'attenzione della maggior parte degli ascoltatori (riviste, siti o semplici votanti di ET). Salta infatti subito all'occhio, scorrendo tra le varie classifiche, la costante presenza di dischi come il terzo dei Portishead o di Dear Science dei TV On The Radio, pressoché votati, ed ai piani alti, da tutti. Si tratta, in entrambi i casi, di piacevoli conferme. Per quanto riguarda i Portishead, non ci speravamo davvero più, a dieci anni di distanza dal precedente disco e non possiamo che compiacerci del loro ottimo stato di salute artistica. Quanto ai TV On The Radio, è fuori luogo parlarne ancora come di una band nuova o emergente, trovandoci ormai di fronte al terzo disco (su tre) di alto livello.
