there is art that removes signage from cities and towns, and the before and after effect is amazing. i haven’t seen this doc, but it sparks something. i want to know what people are DOING if they feel so strongly about it. by kl
fela kuti – authority stealing (rehearsals with footage from lagos)
catch am! catch am! tief tief tief… talking about music greats… saw a nice doc. film on fela titled “fela kuti: music is the weapon” you can see parts on you tube or get the film on netflix. loved this one song which i did not have, it was released on fela’s own kalakuta label originally as no other label would touch it at the time. finally 20 years later, MCA records released it in the year 2000. i just got it and it’s been playing daily! here’s the clip from the docu and the song authority stealing. by xy

above the classic dialogue and orson welles in his hotter years, i love the experimentation with lighting to overcome the age’s lack of special effects. a little mystery can go a long way. you can see the full film here (please excuse the intro slide) by kl

quite an elegant fashion film for the new ballet inspired collection of fashion house chloé. directed by bon duke, with NYC ballet principal janie taylor and choreographer justin peck. by m+m
saw this documentary last night and it was quite incredible and uplifting. the story is about the famous couple herb (a postal worker) and dorothy (librarian), better known as the vogels, who amassed an incredible art collection worth billions on their measly salaries living in a stuffed rent-controlled apt in nyc. their collection included works by richard tuttle, dan graham, donald judd, sol lewitt, christo & jeanne claude, roy lichtenstein, david salle, cindy sherman, chuck close, jeff koons and many others. living a completely modest life with their cat in the same apt, they refused to sell any of their works or donate them to the numerous museums that offered to house them… until one day, they donated the entire collection to the national gallery of the arts. they accepted this for two reasons, 1- because it was a national gallery and not a private one, and 2- because it was and is free for the public. they asked for nothing in return. now i like to know who in the world would do such a thing unless you are a selfless angel from another planet. nice to see there are people in this world that still consider wealth to be irrelevant. by dd
the b-52’s, what a great band. you can see the similarities between them and the dutch pop band gruppo sportivo, very “california days”. by dd
while we’re on this tangent, let’s remember no means no. ya? i actually didn’t know how obscure they were as my teen years were spent in a small town canadian bubble. i held them in the same regard as the dead kennedy’s, and kmfdm. luvs. oh my goodness, nostalgia over machine, when do we learn our lessons? by kl
no, not the f-ing amazing orson wells film ‘f is for fake’ exposed in an enlightening session with dd back in the day. but the definition.
according to my wiktionary…
From Italian slang fugazi (“fake”); perhaps also slang version of fugacious derived from Latin fugac-, stem of fugāx (“ready to flee, flying”), hence, fleeting, transitory.
fugazi (not generally comparable; )
