There’s an interesting show of the personal artworks of musician Nick Cave, which closes tomorrow in Brussels. The narrative fueled series of glazed ceramic figurines “tells the cradle-to-grave story of the Devil. More everyman than fearsome Antichrist, he is an allegorical character who experiences the vicissitudes of life in a very human way.”
Cave’s song lyrics have often delved into religion, tragedy and the human sin (especially murder). That, combined with his preacher like stage presence makes the subject matter a natural and welcomed extension of his creative output.

Interestingly enough, this animated fan video of the awesome Otoboke Beaver, while rabidly fun, is only 85% as frentically frenzied as the real thing (see slide two).

Rediscovering the brilliant larger than life-sized crocheted figures of Jo Hamilton:
Artist Jo Hamilton ‘paints’ portraits with a rather non-traditional material: yarn. She meticulously crochets portraits from photographs of people, often friends. The unusual medium for the familiar art-form provides the unexpected on several levels. Each portrait has a texture very different from common painterliness - they’re soft, knotty, and bordered by loose ambiguous edges. Hamilton’s material perhaps also goes further to suggest her relationship with her subjects. Each portrait takes a considerable amount of time and intimate work by hand. Further, the crochet process is reminiscent of household trinkets and decorations lending her work a feeling of life and home. -Danny Olda for hifructose.com

We attended an advanced preview of the Art of Noise exhibition at the SFMOMA. The design driven showing, which takes over the entire 7th floor of the institution, is certainly worth the visit, especially if you have the extra moments to appreciate its more subtle components. And by components we mean that literally.
In a dimly lit room towards the entrance is an audio nerd’s dream, an entire space dedicated to one single activity: listening to records with equipment expertly fine tuned for that experience alone, in order to get as close as possible to the record artist’s original intent. Obsessed over and designed by OJAS aka Devon Turnbull whose temple like HiFi Listening Room pipes music through custom-built speakers; with each and every component, nob and wire dialed in for maximum record appreciation, without distraction.
Also represented is an archive of San Francisco music posters from the 60s to today; with punk street fliers found on utility poles included. You’ll see works from Chuck Sperry, Para,
90s Rave artists and signature pieces like Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures poster and Milton Glaser’s iconic Bob Dylan poster.
There are listening stations which we found kind of confusing, a Suessian soundscape sculpture on the Terrace, a strange yet amusing choir of wooden robot totem singers (somehow incorporating AI) and a fantastic collection of audio equipment that spans industrial design history; from Victrolas to the battery-powered Boom Box, with one of a kind art works in between while music from Kraftwerk and LL Cool J plays from their speakers.
