! ft Jenny Vasquez: Prefuse 73 - Why I Love You



Prefuse 73 - One Word Extinguisher (2003)

One Word Extinguisher is an apposite title for Prefuse 73 LP. Anyone who experienced Scott Herren's debut, Vocal Studies and Uprock Narratives, will already know about his unique approach to producing hip-hop, but if not, this follow-up is an even better place to check it. On his joint, Herren excels once again at chewing up traditional beats and rhymes with his MPC and spitting them back out as quasi-cubist digital fragments, creating rapid-fire, neck-snapping snares and stuttering, karate-chop vocals. His technique makes for a highly original and slightly avant sound, though most of the genuinely breathtaking rhythm-and-verbal assaults here are tempered by a melodic fluidity that ensures cerebral stimulation as well as heavy head-nod action. Once again, Herren has straddled the worlds of glitch-beep electronica and hip-hop without missing a beat, and has ensured that he occupies a league of his own--one that has to be heard to be believed.

! Art in art is art as art: illustration by hiuman

the beginning in art is not the beginning.
creation in art is not creation.
nature in art is not nature.
art in nature is not nature.
the nature of art is not nature.
art in life is not life.
life in art is not life.
the picture of art is not a picture.
a work of art is not work.
people in art are not people.
things in art are not things.
...
a collage in art is a collage.
paste in art is paste.
poetry in art is poetry.
a sign in art is a sign.
space in art is space.
time in art is not time.
the nothingness of art is not nothingness.
...
art in art is art.
the end of art is art as art.
the end of art is not the end.

! Rachel Weisz: a short film insinspired by Pina Bausch

 





Rachel Weisz

For the autumn/winter 2011 season, Rachel Weisz appears as she's never been seen before. As the cover star of AnOther Magazine Issue 21, the Oscar-winning actress appears in stills taken from a short film shot by Craig McDean with creative direction by David James and styling by Olivier Rizzo. Premiering exclusively here, the film sees Weisz on location in Red Hook, New York, her series of non-narrative micro performances,  inspired by postmodern dance legend Pina Bausch.

Known for her complex roles and chameleon talent, the actress has no less than eight major films in the pipeline. She’ll step into the shoes of real-life Nebraskan cop Kathryn Bolkovac in Whistleblower, star in Jim Sheridan’s mystery Dream House and be directed by cinematic legend Terrence Malick in his follow up to Tree of Life. Weisz's films will also open and close the 55th BFI London Film Festival next month, Fernando Meirelles’ 360 and Terence Davies’ The Deep Blue Sea respectively.

AnOther asked artist and writer Harland Miller, best known for his large-scale paintings based on Penguin paperbacks, to interview Weisz for our cover story. It’s not the first time they’ve met, as Miller recalls...

"After the Berlin wall fell I had decided to move there. Coincidentally a friend – “crazy Ella” – was driving out there from London the same weekend, and on an impulse her friend Rachel came along. I drove a black Jag at the time and Ella discreetly asked if Rachel could come with me; Ella drove a decommissioned London taxi and was embarrassed by how much it vibrated at anything over 50. It was a slow convoy, but it was, as they say, the beginning of a beautiful friendship. I recall a few coffee stops, the night ferry in between and then the morning sun flickering through the silver birch trees that Hitler had planted along the road to Berlin.

What strikes me now, looking back, is how amiable and adaptable Rachel was to the way the weekend quickly fell apart. The key for the apartment I was borrowing on Sophienstraße was not under the mat as promised. Contemplating the next move we went to a bar and got drunk – I lost my wallet and a period of not eating ensued. Low blood sugar kicked in and turned everything black. I’ve got a hazy memory of killing time in a succession of all-night bars. At some stage I seemed to come round from a trance into an empty club. On the dance floor two figures silhouetted against a strobe light were headbanging to a heavy metal track – I hunted around for Rachel to say “Let’s get out of here”, only to discover that she was one of the two dancers.

I remember coming out into daylight and going to a café for breakfast. Afterwards Rachel somehow managed to make a telephone call (not that easy in East Berlin in those days) and was suddenly having to fly back to London. After we dropped her at Tegel airport I realised she hadn’t really explained why she’d had to dash. A characteristic reticence I soon discovered, when it comes to talking about herself. I vaguely got that it was something work related – an audition, a break – and I didn’t see her again for a year. But all things considered I’m imagining it went OK."

New Haven Math Club - GANT Rugger Pre-fall 2011



Highlighting key items from its upcoming Pre-Fall 2011 collection (released online today and in stores next wek), GANT Rugger has just released a short film entitled “The New Haven Math Club.” Inspired by vintage-style film strip tutorials from the 1950s, the film is accompanied by an old-school voice-over giving tips on how to maintain a proper collegiate appearance. Designer Christopher Bastin explains the marketing is,  "Chockfull of eye-catching, lightweight sweaters and trim, natty suits, the line was heavily inspired by photographs of a Yale math club from the mid-'60s." Surprisingly informative, the feature gives a tutorial on how to button up your shirt, how to correctly wear your jacket lapel, and how to properly button your cuffs and collar back — all essentials for looking smart. Remember, “popped collars are not for scholars.”

! Littlewhitehead: Humour ballon



littlewhitehead

Sentient Orbs, 2009, Shoes, chinos, sweater, balloons, wire, stuffing, Approx 250 x 200 x 200 cm





Hailing from Glasgow, littlewhitehead take their inspiration from the city’s working class and post-industrial culture. Their darkly humorous sculptures provocatively explore the phenomenon of violence as an increasingly normalised means to identity and community. It Happened In The Corner... is an installation of a gang of hoodies congregated in ominous thug-pack stance. In their presence, the viewer is made a complicit witness or bystander to banal terror, while the predators are similarly made victims, eerily silenced and stilled, ever relegated to the corner: ostracising and punitive, a haunting site of Blair Witch-cycle urban-legend monstrosity.

“Within our work there is a strong connection between the reality that surrounds us and some kind of escapism to a made-up world,” littlewhitehead explain. “This made-up world is the construct of a dialogue between the two of us, which infuses scenes from an encyclopaedic range of references, from video nasties, to current events, and subconscious musings. It is in that world, unlike the one we actually inhabit, where we can fulfil these sinister desires.” Sentient Orbs pictures a child rising to the ceiling, subsumed by a bouquet of balloons, transferring the delights of pleasure and kindness to suggestions of greed and malice.
