Art video about fighter planes that are styled to reflect like a mirror
UK artist Fiona Banner talks in this video about her work on fighter planes that are polished to reflect like a mirror the visitors in the museum. By 'making up' the surface this way, she is involving the viewers into the installation of military planes which are activated in times when communication ended. Another one of the bespoken planes is made up with a feather-like, prehistoric painting. The exhibition runs until 3 January 2011 at the Tate Britain.
MUSIC VIDEOS:
Mash-up music video from a Hollywood Sci-Fi movie for 'Galaxy Man' by Solex vs. Christina Martinez and John Spencer
By searching through some musician's websites, Fashionoffice has found the mash-up video from material of the late 50ies US movie 'Plan 9 from Outer Space' to the song 'Galaxy Man' on Solex' Myspace page. The album 'Amsterdam Throwdown, King Street Showdown' by Solex (aka Dutch sample artist and singer Elisabeth Esselink) and the punk musicians Cristina Martinez and Jon Spencer was released earlier this year.
Music tip: raw party song 'Whatever' by Quitzow from the album 'Juice Water'
Fashionoffice just received the hyperlink to the new song of Quitzow (aka New York singer songwriter Erica Quitzow) with the warning that not everything in this song about the 'Me'-generation is politically correct. On Myspace.com/quitzow, the musician publishes a critic from the magazine Marie Claire from June 2010: "Whips up the dance-floor with skittering beats, butt shaking thump, electronic evil-robot voice effects- into a fresh and pure pop meringue."
Music video tip: 'Show me something new' by Shout Out Louds from the new album 'Work'
By going through the Fashionoffice correspondence, a behind the shooting information from the Brazilian Blog Radarx.com.br leads to the website of the online-publication, where a video by Shout Out Louds runs. The Rardarx-Blog provides trend information for stylists, fashion designers, models, make up artists, performers, DJs, etc. The Swedish 5 men band 'Shout Out Louds' is such a trend tip.
