Press for Year '07 art fair in London

Year_07 Art Fair :: Destroy Babylon

featuring Heather Cantrell, Sarah Cromarty, D'nell Larson, Russell Nachman, Chad Robertson, Pär Strömberg

October 11-14, 2007
County Hall, Westminster Bridge Road, London


Music has the ability to express, empower, shape, and define a generation. For the Year 07 London fair sixspace presents the curated exhibition Destroy Bablyon that explores/highlights the influence of music within contemporary visual art. Named after the seminal DC punk band Bad Brains' song "Destroy Babylon" on their 1982 "Rock for Light" album, the artists in this exhibition embrace their musical influences in styles from such as photographs of the indie-rock scene, paintings based on black-metal, oil paintings re-creating the pop-phenomenon of song mash-ups, watercolors depicting the death of the 1960s hippie utopia ideal, the re-appropriation of vintage album covers, and a video of lounge singers singing 1990s love songs.

The exhibition room will be a rock-n-roll lovers room with the art hung in a casual, interactive manner. There will be an old couch in the booth to re-iterate the lounge feel as well as an iPod station featuring song compilations by each sixspace gallery artist that can be listened to at the booth or purchased online at iTunes.

Bad Brains - Destroy Bablyon lyrics
Don't beat yourself upside the head. Don't beat yourself for this. Don't beat yourself upside the head, don't beat yourself for this. Oh, there is a way out. It's a natural plan, the natural. How many days do we sit around, while they keep on burying all our leaders in the ground. Organize, centralize. It's time for us to fight for our lives. Destroy Babylon. Oh there is a way.

Message from Jonas Ohlsson

This is an invite and message from my friend Jonas Ohlsson about coming Friday's (31st) Big Party!!!

Re-posted:

Hello friends!

Everybody knows that I always try to hype my shit up!!!!
everybody...
This time I don't need to though.
The whole Swedish freak scene is coming over.
We celebrate the 10 year anniversary of me and Kai's (my best friend)
30 year party.
It will be BIG. between 30...40 SWEDEN friends are coming over to party
in W 139 friday 31st of August.
The party starts at 18.00, because MANY bands and DJs will have to
play.
Noise, techno, house, electronica and so on...Until we get thrown
out...03.00...04.00...05.00????
DJ Lonely will of course also hit the wheels of Steel, AND Zwarre of
Börft records, legendary Swedish underground house label....
more info later in the week.

You might have noticed that the flyer looks pretty dry and boring
well I am 40 now and I think it is time to move on from the colorful
childish
flyers with tits & ass and pent up frustrations.
I now aim for a more mature, stylish Jop van Bennekom style...

Also ..there is a interview with me in Metropolis M, this was done
right before I turned 40 so then I was still childish and aggressive.
Please read the English version in the end of the magazine.
The Dutch translation is....well it is not easy to translate my tuff
"Straight out of Compton" slang so I blame no one...but it seems like 80 % of the jokes didn't survive.

so P...O...L...I....C....E.....read the english version.

Augustibuller: Reflektioner på dagen

• Jag blev under Last Days Of Aprils spelning antastad av en hippiegubbe som smekte mig ömt på ryggen. Förbluffad gjorde jag inte en Glenn Hysén. Lite senare kom gubben fram och förklarade sig: jag hade så fin tröja, tyckte han.

• Trallpunkgänget Varnagel hade ett riktigt fanfölje à la Turbojugend som invaderade festivalområdet lagom till deras spelning med flaggor och banderoller i högst hugg. Bandet var dock förfärligt.

• Dagens internationella Örebrokändis på festivalen: konstnären Pär Strömberg iklädd en egenhändigt designad "Strömberg" tröja utformad enligt punkbandet Black Flags logotyp.

• När Franky Lee ställde sig på scenen hade i alla fall 50% av Millencolin spelat på Augustibuller i år, Mathias med Franky Lee och Larzon med Kvoteringen.

• Jag träffade på en kille som hade en video i sin mobil med rollatortanterna från förra bloggen dansande till NY Ska Jazz Ensemble. Killen bekräftade också att tanterna är vanligt förekommande i Lindesbergs nöjesliv och att han hade bjudit dem på drinkar på krogen. När han frågade vad de ville ha svarade de iskallt: "En sån där 'Orgasm'". Misstänker förövrigt att en av dem är damen som porträtteras i dagens NA.

• När solen ligger på är Lindesjön vansinnigt vacker.
