Exhibition | Zeitgeist & Glamour | NRW Forum

Posted on 29/04/2011 by W&V

Legendary images of the 60s and 70s are brought together in the ‘Zeitgeist & Glamour’ exhibition at the NRW-Forum in Düsseldorf; the most spectacular photographs of an exciting era: the icons of an age, superstars and celebrities, and unmistakable milieux. There are both masterful photographs of the highest aesthetic order, ground-breaking in their finesse, and cheerful snapshots of a hidden world. Images of a culture celebrating itself in the midst of fame and glamour, wallowing in the pleasure of a beautiful moment. The pictures embody the spirit of the hour, the attitude of an entire generation. Public and private alike are captured, as are faces and atmospheres, the extravagant and the usual, glamour and its complement: melancholy and forlornness. The Zeitgeist & Glamour exhibition offers a kaleidoscope of life forms from the 60s and 70s that centres on the ‘stages’ of the major cities of the Western world.

The exhbition Zeitgeist & Glamour at the NRW forum in Düsseldorf will run until may 15, 2011.

David Bailey | The 60s have never ended

Posted on 25/04/2011 by W&V

David Bailey is an inspiring, unique and remarkable photographer who shot fascinating fashion and celebrity photos. In 1959 he became a photographic assistant at the John French studio, and in May 1960, he was a photographer for John Cole’s Studio Five before being contracted as a fashion photographer for British Vogue magazine later that year. Along with Terence Donovan and Brian Duffy, he captured and helped create the ‘Swinging London’ of the 1960s: a culture of high fashion and celebrity chic. The three photographers socialised with actors, musicians and royalty, and found themselves elevated to celebrity status. Together, they were the first real celebrity photographers, named by Norman Parkinson as “the Black Trinity”.

Last year a retrospective of his most iconic photographs with the title “Pure sixties. Pure bailey” was on show at Bonhams. Fifty years on from a decade that changed our cultural history, his images celebrate a period of spontaneity and decadence, capturing the glamour and hedonism of the era. Among the famous faces immortalised by Bailey’s lens are Mick Jagger, Michael Caine and the Jean Shrimpton. In the below video interview he had an interesting talk with Sarfraz Manzoor about Picasso, body language and his dread of photographing modern celebrities.

Some of David Bailey’s photo’s are currently on exhibition at the NRW Forum Düsseldorf. This exhibition carries the title Zeitgeist & Glamour and will run until May 15, 2011. Read more about it in this article on the W&V Blog.

Flying Lotus | Infinity Infinitum | Gilles Peterson BBC Sessions

Posted on 11/04/2011 by W&V

Flying Lotus (FlyLo) is an experimental multi-genre music producer and laptop musician from Winnetka, California. His music is a fascinating mix which contains experimental hip hop-, jazz and electronic music elements. The third album made by Flying Lotus was Cosmogramma, it was released in 2010.
Flying Lotus about the album: “I’m really into old jazz traditions and I felt Cosmogramma was my jazz record in a sense. In that spirit, for anyone who’s bought the album, we’ve made something they can use to get new tracks and alternate takes from the original Cosmogramma sessions as a gift from us. We’re making a big fuss…”

The above video shows an already older but still inspiring “Jazzy” session for the BBC show of Gilles Peterson and carries the title INFINITY “Infinitum”. Artist performing during the session where: Flying Lotus, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Thundercat, Ravi Coltrane, Rebekah Raff,Andres Renteria, Gerry Gibbs, Andreya Triana. The video was filmed by Theo Jemison and edited by Strangeloop and is shot at the BBC Maida Vale Studio London.

In the above podcast from BrainFeeder you will hear more work by Flying Lotus in the “A Decade of Flying Lotus” mixed by Gaslamp Killer. Flying Lotus on the Podcast mix: “I felt it was time to let go of some things that have been gathering dust. Some old things, and some new things, I tried to pick out tracks that I know yall haven’t heard yet so there should be surprises around every turn.”
