December 11, 2013The Free Art and Technology (F.A.T.) Lab is a constant source of inspiration and boredom alleviation for us. With social hacktivism at the core of it’s ideals, the community of artists, scientists, lawyers and computer geeks are dedicated to open-source, open-license, public domain works that make the world a better place. Tearing down the borders of patents and corporate monopolies…
November 30, 2013This isn’t an every day occurrence for us, but you’ve got to show some respect to the men in hoods. Our first encounter with Sunn O))) was many years back at Sonar, in a bizarrely dark setting in the middle of the day that didn’t at all reflect the sunshine vibes occurring in Barcelona outside. To be honest I really…
November 26, 2013Been meaning to weigh in on Ryoji Ikeda since the trip to the Museum Of New and Old Art (MONA) earlier in the year. Data.Tron and Data.Matrix were the two audiovisual works on display, absolute standouts that consumed a massive space, with screens facing each other allowing you to get totally lost in his creations. With the release of his Supercodex album on…
November 18, 2013Proper stoked to see this, though feel like I missed out having not been there while it was live. The one Chairman Kato recently stepped up his installation CV by exhibiting ‘Purgatory Live‘ at the Victoria & Albert Museum (V&;A) in London. One of the world’s top design and art museums, their Friday Late series has been making the most of their incredible…
October 21, 2013Really dig what Morley does. The LA based street artist has recently been brought back to our attention via The Outsiders, Steven Lazarides’ gallery / tribe / shop for his select group of exhibiting artists with uniquely urban ethics. Morley, as a wheatpasting king of sorts, has been exhibiting since 2011 and active much longer. Armed with positive slogans and wicked…
October 2, 2013The Hydra season continues! The original lineups that Broken & Uneven presented us with from August to New Years Day are a stunning collection of modern and pioneering artists, and last Friday night for 3 Chairs x Nonplus x Eglo at Fire was a good example of how these guys are killing it in London town. By all reports the…
September 24, 2013Very cool project this that we’re stoked to have been a small part of. Earlier this month Spencer Graham exhibited his follow up to last year’s Pressing Detroit installation. Going under the extensive title of 15:06:13-16:06:13/15.06.13/SG Subtitle: The One Hour Piece (The One Hour…), the work is a display and listening experience composed of records featuring ‘Detroit‘ in their title (by…
January 1, 2013In the order they were sent to me, here’s the Awkward Movements family’s breakdown of 2012. Big ups both L.I.E.S. and Pan, a lot of double up in the lists coming from two of our favourite labels who had an incredible roster of releases over the last 12 months. RAYNULDS Tunes Of The Year In No Order: Joy Orbison…
November 19, 2012Just finding out more about the American artist named Josh Keyes, who’s themes we’re constantly stoked with. His post-apocalyptic animal-survivalist concepts are done without the barren wastelands of dark, bloodied, zombie brain splatters we come to expect whenever that word comes in to play. Instead Keyes deals in re-imagined worlds that we’re big fans of, colored in with decently cheerful…
November 9, 2012We were hyping about the Bleep curated Broken & Uneven party a while back with the stunning lineup that delivered on all accounts. Part of the whole warehouse event was to celebrate the now released Karenn / The Analogue Cops 12″ (BLGPRN001), a limited edition plate done with Shaun Bloodworth supplying the artwork prints and as part of the package. Head…
