Sonido Gallo Negro (Black Rooster Sound) is a stunning 9-piece, instrumental combo from east Mexico City (Aragon) that channels both the mystique and mysticism of 1960’s Peruvian cumbia. The band integrates styles like Amazonian cumbia, huayno, sonidero cumbia, boogaloo and chicha with electric guitars, Farfisa organ, Theremin, flute and of course fluid Latin percussion. Spaghetti western soundtracks, psychedelia and surf music also echo in their compositions.

The name of the song 'Chamula (métete)' comes from San Juan Chamula, a little town in Chiapas (a Mexican state in the South of the country). Most of the people there are Chamulas and Tzetzales (Mexican first nation) and their lives are full of traditional sounds and a unique way of seeing the Universe. The song documents a cruel battle between the Chamulas and Tzetzales and the state Goverment in 1869.

Eleanor Zurowski, this year’s columnist, is producing sonic responses in response to each issue of Framework in 2019. Each piece will be an accumulation of field recordings, samples, lecture snippets, spoken word and contemporary music. For this issue, Eleanor is exploring the fugitive eruptions of, and leaks from, the body. Breathing in, crying out, rumbling, whistling, swallowing spit, belching, erupting into tears; extra-linguistic moments when our bodies speak for – or to – us.

What does a gut feeling sound like? - Eleanor Zurowski - Framework #25

Marija Bjekic's work explores and references the 20th century utopias, the position of working class, and the architectural structures that govern the behaviour, until they collapse.

We met to discuss her hyperrealist drawings combined with  the geometric, almost grid like forms inspired by Russian Constructivism and Bauhaus.

"This forms are in very sensitive fragile uncertain balance. Human figures are balancing on them, or holding them, or building from them."

Interview with Serbian artist Marija Bjekic (April 2019, Belgrade)

UK artist Genevieve Leavold paints fluid, abstract forms inspired by microbiological and mycological shapes and colours. In this podcast, recorded in her studio in Belgrade, she tells me how she learned to value essence over perfection, why she thinks we should celebrate trees more than old paintings, and what role trust plays in her work.

Interview with artist Genevieve Leavold (May 2019, Belgrade)

Conversation with Swedish artist Fanny Hellgren whose works explore the properties and agencies of materials - be it paper, concrete, cloth, or water - and the way they transform when exposed to the elements such as sun or time. 

In this podcast recorded in Belgrade, Serbia where Fanny was on an artist residency, we delve deeper into Fanny’s interest in materiality and in-between spaces, the process and methodology of making works, her preferred ways of exhibiting them, and what role patience plays in both making and viewing art.

In this episode of DANCE CINEMA we speak to Laura Cappellesso, editor of dance film MARMO, shot in Tuscany and inspired by the vision of Italian sculptor Michelangelo Buonarroti. 

Envisioned and directed by Nancy Allison and with choreography of Laura Boato, MARMO contemplates the emergence of a work of art out of a raw material such as a block of stone, or in the case of a film, out of many hours of film rushes each having a numberless creative paths one could follow. 

In this podcast, MARMO’s editor Laura Cappellesso takes us through the journey of making the film as we consider the similarity between sculpting and editing and the idea of ‘setting the work of art free’. 

  Laura also speaks about her approach to to haptic visuality and why she felt it necessary to emphasise polarities between matter and spirit - solidity of marble and fluidity of moving bodies.

MARMO will be screened on www.dancecinema.org from 15.8. to 15.9. 2019. To view MARMO and for the full transcript of this interview head to www.dancecinema.org/marmo.html

Recorded in Venice, Italy on 9 July 2019.

DANCE CINEMA: Laura Cappellesso 'MARMO' (July 2019, Venice)

This Artemis Projects podcast is with China-born, Berlin-based dancer, choreographer, painter, musician, and video artist Dan Su, with whom I met in Berlin to talk about her experimental dance video "Wood in Mood" in which she explores the transformation of one form into another, and allows for the energy of the environment to inform her movements. 

We speak about the influence her background in painting has on her editing choices, her holistic approach to nature, and how dancing on screen and on variety of sites, inspired the new approach to dancing on stage. 

To view "Wood in Mood" see: https://vimeo.com/267398713

This podcast was recorded on 24 July 2019 in Berlin, Germany.

Conversation with dancer and filmmaker Dan Su on 'Wood in Mood' (July 2019, Berlin)

This Artemis Projects podcast is with Swedish artist Fanny Hellgren whom I called over Skype to talk about her series of works 'Withering Postures' exhibited at the Nevven gallery in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Made of paper-pulps and transformed into a large-scale wall-tapestries, 'Withering Postures' bring attention to commonly discarded materials, making us rethink what can be of value and what can be beautiful.  

Always left in the state of changeability and often in the state of impermanence, Hellgren’s works bring attention to time, pointing to the fragility of all matter and reminding us, the viewers, of our own materiality. 

In this podcast, Hellgren talks about the inspiration behind her working methodology, the question of archiving the impermanent works, concept of alchemy, and how she tries to defy the rules of gravity. 

We also address Oscar Wild’s statement that “all art is quite useless” and Agnes Martin’s that “Art is the concrete representation of our most subtle feelings.”

The podcast features sounds from Fanny's studio and short snippets of music from album PERSEVERANTIA by Danielle de Picciotto and Alexander Hacke (I don't own rights to this music). 

This podcast was produced on the Gadigal land of Eora nation, traditional custodians of the land. We pay our respect to their elders – past, present, and emerging.

Houses II

The house that was growing, 
while you were cooking,
had too much concrete,
too many doors  and 
too many crevices
to become a home.

It had too many walls,
against which anger and sadness were banging,
without being flushed through the drain.

The silence of long afternoons,
needles knitting by themselves,
chamber pots motionless under the beds. 

There were no blankets woollen enough
to cover the winter evenings
and mornings that followed.

The switched on lights were signals falling through.
Slides of words were bouncing off big heavy carpets
like dust
on the floor.

Sounds: Alessandro De Oliveira Bastos
