Sometimes there is nothing more exciting than 3 young men in sunglasses and long johns, running through a forest.

Gee’s Bend Again
May 18, 2010
I’ve also been looking at the Gee’s Bend quilts again, through the book Gee’s Bend: The Architecture of the Quilt . The visual inspiration from these artworks is untold for me.
I added some examples below, of the corduroy & denim quilts, featuring recycled materials (how a quilt is defined in my view)…although just a few in the prolific tradition of Gee’s Bend quilt-making.
What have you looked at lately.…?

I love these video effects — best video I’ve found for this track from Brian Eno & Jon Hassell’s Fourth World, Vol. 1: Possible Musics.
Was apparently made in the late 80’s by this You Tube user. In the artist’s own words: “I shot the footage in Yosemite using a low cost VHS camera, then cut the video using two VCRs very simply and than ran it through an old effect machine and tried to use the music as my inspiration, live and one pass.”
Awesome.
Rainbow live in Donnington Park, 1980.
Equally lurid saturation in this video… I love the liquid reds, yellows and color separation. And of course Ritchie Blackmore!!
ANDREA CREWS Fall/Winter 2010

This just released from the creative recycled-fashion/performance workshop in Paris, run by Andrea Crews.
…a preview of the Fall 2010 looks, from what appears to be a randy theatre production…
(photos from the Andrea Crews monthly newsletter: it’s like a peek into a parallel world constructed of familiar objects, dance-crazed characters, esoteric rituals…! Worth subscribing to…)
