Educartear?
Papo vai papo vem ontem com minha linda amiga Alessia, a gente discutia sobre as relações entre Academia e as Artes, especialmente o quanto as universidades e outras instituições podem ter por vezes um papel catalizador em projetos culturais ou também podem limitar essas criatividades. E nos debulhamos em elogios ao Medialab Prado, esse laboratório aqui de Madri onde nos metemos que funciona como think tank, ponto de encontro, centro de convergências, estúdio, oficina, casa de loucos, ateliê de criativos, or whatever you wanna call it. Uma verdadeira ponte entre governo, instituições, coletivos, estudantes, pesquisadores, programadores, ativistas, cidadãos e quem mais se interesse por projetos artísticos multimídia, sempre que sejam coletivos. Um laguinho de cultura democrático onde a gente pode nadar e brincar felizes. E brigar também, mas só de vez em quando, porque los mediadores culturales estão ali pra apaziguar o tiroteio de idéias, ajudando a transformá-lo em fogos de artifício.
Abro meu email e me deparo com a conferência Deschooling Society, que vai rolar no SouthBank Centre/Hayward Gallery agora em Abril.
"Speakers have been invited to present critical ideas on collective and participatory practice, pedagogical experiments and how such art can be understood and discussed.The conference is a collaborative event marking the start of a Hayward Gallery research project culminating in the transformation of the gallery space into an alternative art school during summer 2012. It also addresses the urgent issues that have arisen from the Centre for Possible Studies, part of an ongoing Serpentine Gallery project in the Edgware Road neighbourhood, and is the second part of the Serpentine's collaboration with The Museum of Modern Art, New York, following the conference Transpedagogy - Contemporary Art and the Vehicles of Education at MoMA in May 2009."

Improvisação e Carina
E pra quem se interessa por improvisação musical, eis uma série de filmes transmitido por uma TV britânica que vale a pena espiar. A dica é da Cari Levitan.
"(...) Written and narrated by Derek Bailey, produced and directed by Jeremy Marr, it developed out of the first edition of Bailey's book on improvisation (the broadcast almost coinciding with the publication of the second edition) and attempted to provide a world-view of the subject, not being bound by country, musical genre or preconception."
***

A Cari, por sinal, vai tocar amanhã (dia 6 de fevereiro) nada mais nada menos que no Tate Modern, com David Toop, como parte do Unknown devices.

Juicy fashion
It's not like I'm that into catwalks. Not really. What I really like is street fashion, the concept of I-D magazine when it started as a fanzine with photos taken on the streets of London, showing what people were wearing.
I'm just this outsider who doesn't buy Vogue, but read fashion blogs instead. The type of girl that loves good ideas, DIY projects and some vintage, and since I've worked in a couple of fashion-related projects of course I do know what I'm talking about.
But no, I'm not gonna pretend I'm some kind of fashion expert. I'm not.
That said, London Fashion Week is all over the media and the web so I might as well dig my fingers on it. Just a little bit, just the finger nails.
Once more Top Shop's New Generation scheme has shown what London fashion is all about. Pushing some limits here, a hint of punk there, a touch of sexyness.
But what really called my attention was Mark Fast's show. I wasn't there and I didn't see ALL the designers' shows. But this guy blew me away.
I know he's not the first to do it, but it's always good to see men in fashion celebrating the (REAL) female body, instead of - like my boyfriend says - conspiring against it with tooth-pic-legs women only. I'm not against the skinny ladies, I do think they look elegant and they also carry/display outfits in a beautiful beautiful way.
Still, it's good to see some sexy curvy healthy girls wearing tight knitted dresses strolling down the catwalk. Isn't it?
Here's some of the words in his press release:
This season Mark will present garments in different size groups that will be categorized alphabetically rather than numerically. The purpose of the alphabetized size options is to draw focus to the concepts of draping, density and volume as they relate to women’s bodies and challenge traditional notions of fit and idealized body shape.
Mark’s innovative use of machine knitting techniques allows for him to sculpt areas of volume and tension over the body. Mark produces timeless, beautiful, handcrafted pieces using the finest elastomeric yarns blended with viscose and embellished with crystals, pearls and leathers. His work is a celebration of the female body and the many worlds that surround it.

Florence +The Machine - Drumming Song
E esse novo da Florence and The Machine?
Ui. Decepcionante. A Dazed and Confused fez um auê sobre o videoclipe, mas vamos combinar que essa coreografia... nada a ver com ela, né?
O figurino não está mal, mas também não muito inovador. Apostou pelos hypes bem batidos: luvinha à la Lady Gaga, body à la Beyoncé, ombreiras marcadas que estão por todos os blogs fashionistas mundo afora. Diz a stylist Aldene Johnson, que queriam um look com um "pop-meets-fashion edge". Hum. Só ficou a impressão de que ela couldn't pull it off.
Continuo sendo fã, só que agora... semi-desencantada.

Samba Rock é com ele

Tem mil coisas boas de ser jornalista, e ainda mais de escrever sobre música. Poder cobrir festivais incríveis, entrevistar músicos que você ama de paixão, receber convites pra shows... mas uma das que eu mais curto é receber novidades - CDS, links e releases de bandas/artistas novos ou diferentes.
Em um dos e-mails recentes que recebi, um release sobre a versão de Knock Em Out da Lily Allen, do gaúcho Thiago Corrêa. A inglesinha abriu, no site dela, uma espécie de concurso de quem fazia a melhor versão dessa música. E não é que o cara tá em primeiro lugar?
Resolvi conferir o ste do Thiago e vi que tem várias versões samba-rock pra inúmeras canções. De Ray Charles a Ghost Busters. É o projeto Outra Música. Vale a pena conferir.
Aroveita e vota lá no site da Lily.

From London, with love
Eu fui porque estava com puta saudade de gente como a gente, de atrizes, loucos, gênios, artistas, arteiras, safados, tarados, pirados, poxa.
Também fui porque quis ver a neve, os fluxos contrários, a inversao das ruas, a educaçao das gentes. Fui para respirar.
Fui porque ia ser tao sem-graça envelhecer ao lado do mar porém longe dos amores, no conforto do lar mas tao desconectada de um abraço.
Lá estive com Warhol e seus amigos, seus filmes, séries, fotos, revistas, anotaçoes e maluquices. Estive Levitante. Só e bem acompanhada de pints. Também conversei com minha câmera, consegui recuperar nossa relaçao. Ri com outra atriz, uma doida, outra doida, uma irma, alguns amigos mais e muito quentao na mao. No fuzuê dos mercados eu comi lemon pie e sushi. Em casa a gente fez estrogonofe e bagunça, viu filme ruim, curtimos preguiça. Eu dormi. Nao passei frio, falei sozinha, me arrepiei. Me deparei com o inesperado, ruborizei, sorri escancarado e até deu tempo de chorar.
Descobri o de dentro, agarrei o de fora, reguei umas plantas, joguei pra cima o resto. E o que resta é melancolia - além do que se vê.

Evento da Alice em Londres
Nao é o máximo isso que vai rolar em Londres?
Wonderland: Down the Rabbit Hole
Wonderland is having a revival. This year has seen the soaring popularity of dolls, tea parties and cupcakes, and there was even a musical set in the Land of Oz. This weekend, the cheerfully named events company Let’s Paint the Town Red will attempt to create a magical, twisted world based on Alice’s Wonderland, all in the distinctly commuter-ridden environs of the South Bank. As with the phenomenal Punchdrunk productions of recent years, Down the Rabbit Hole will be a multi-dimensional event, involving theatre, music, and art, and they’re even putting on live bands. Each performance lasts two hours and is sure to transport one to one’s very own unbirthday party. How civilised. To book your all-important ticket to escapism click here.
