Posted by Fabio 27 October 2010
Independent Vermont taken from Nihilist Assault Group’s russian-american ep. Released on the very new portuguese record labe MPD (música pop desempregada), that means in english something like “the unemployed pop music movement”. Worth checking out.

Posted by Fabio 27 October 2010

American Software
Posted by Fabio 26 October 2010
American Software is a short film inspired by the towering giants behind the American software industry. That is, if Steve Jobs was a rebellious punk rectangle, with guitar in tow, taking on King Bill through a rock-off within some parallel counter-realist 8-bit geometric vision of our world. Directed by Gianluca Fallone.

Dana Schutz
Posted by Fabio 26 October 2010
Some of Dana Schutz’ early images, painted about a decade ago, told the story of Frank, the last man on earth; other pictures showed people eating their own bodies; a few dealt directly with political or overtly social issues. Her flamboyant style, which frequently makes references to art history, and especially to the history of figurative painting, is colourful, gestural, and visceral.
