“Engage in the newness!” “Don’t imitate others!” (Yoshihara, 1954)
The Gutai group was a collection of Japanese artists, working in the aftermath of World War II. Gutai radically redefined art for the post-war age by exploring the relationship between art, body, space and time, whilst emphasising the process of damage or destruction in subsequently revealing true beauty. Fusing art and technology was a direct reference to the rapid transformation and modernization of Japan, whilst emphasising the importance of collaboration in fostering creativity.
This mix is inspired by the ethos of Gutai, and soundtracks the Japanese musical avant-garde that thrived concurrently.

🔹The origin of the term Hyperrealism (Hyperréalisme) can be traced back to 1973, when Isy Brachot coined for the first time as the title of a major exhibition and catalogue at his gallery in Brussels.

🔹Electronic composer Creshevsky has extended the term to the work of music, defining hyperrealism as “an electroacoustic musical language constructed from sounds that are found in our shared environment, handled in ways that are somehow exaggerated or excessive.”
Just as the acoustic palette includes the sonic results of a body of instrumental techniques, the expanded hyperreal palette incorporates the sonic results of the rest of the world - whether that means “natural” sounds (such as voices, birds, or wind), naturalized sounds (tire squeals, instruments, or footfalls), or adopted sounds (horns, cellphones, or electronic toms).

https://soundcloud.com/francescamackay returns to OpenLab with a new episode of Architextures, this time focusing on Sound art, the hybrid art form that bridges visual art and experimental music, using sound as both its medium and as its subject:
The art of noise. Sound as an invisible sculpture. A two-hour journey into art’s sonic cosmos.

Sound art is a hybrid art form that bridges visual art and experimental music, using sound as both its medium and as its subject. It defines a broad range of projects dedicated to the emphasis, exploration, and experimentation of auditory perception. Sound art overlaps with experimental music or noise but tends to place greater focus on conceptual exploration of the complex relationships between the sound, listener and space. The way music and sound art are experienced is also different. While a musical piece should be experienced in its entirety, sound art is usually experienced in a venue where the artist has no control over how much time a listener spends with a piece.
Conceptual artist John Cage’s notorious piece 4’33” contributed greatly to the separation of musical composition and sound art while Max Neuhaus, another pioneer in the field of contemporary art and music, is credited with being the first to use sound as a medium for site-specific installations. Some artists explore sound in its pure state, simultaneously bridging and muddling barriers between sound, noise, and music in the contemporary or historical sense. Others, such as Samson Young, investigate the political and cultural implications of human interaction with the aural.

https://soundcloud.com/francescamackay is back with Architextures, this month bringing you 2 hours of music inspired by AfriCOBRA, and the AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians), a still-flourishing organisation of primarily African American Chicago musicians whose interdisciplinary explorations expanded the boundaries of jazz.

AfriCOBRA was a Chicago-based group of black artists whose shared aim was to develop their own aesthetic in the visual arts to empower black communities. Rather than bringing about change through political revolt, these artists used the black identity, its style, attitude and worldview to foster solidarity and self-confidence throughout the African diaspora.

This month's show includes music from AACM members Wadada Leo Smith, Muhal Richard Adams and Tomeka Reid and Jeff Parker, and is inspired by the intertwined legacy, style and ethos of the sounds and visual art of both collectives.

https://soundcloud.com/francescamackay is back on OpenLab this  with a new episode of Architextures, this time with a 2 hour journey exploring the influence of Pop Art in music ⚡️

Art pop emerged alongside Pop art and was influenced by the movement's integration of high and low culture, exploring ideas such as pop's status as commercial art, notions of artifice and the self, and questions of historical authenticity. Musicians and bands like Iggy Pop, The Velvet Underground and Roxy Music echoed Pop Art's emphasis on simplicity, pioneering a modernist avant-garde approach to art-rock and pop that ignored the conventional hierarchies of artistic representation and explored the relationship between creativity and commercialism; simultaneously celebrating and critiquing popular and mass culture. This month’s mix explores the influence of Pop art on music.

Tune in for this month's episode of https://soundcloud.com/francescamackay 's Architextures radio show, this time focused on one of the most significant cultural movements in Brazil: Tropicália ⚡️
The term Tropicália was first coined by artist Hélio Oiticica, for an artwork of the same name, which he exhibited at MAM Rio in 1967. The piece demonstrated Oiticica’s desire to give contemporary art a specifically Brazilian character to subvert the “purity” of European modernism. Some trace Tropicália back to 1928, and Oswald de Andrade's Anthropophagic Manifesto. Andrade’s main argument was that Brazil’s history of “cannibalising” (or absorbing and creating something new) from other cultures was its greatest strength.
The ideas presented in this essay helped to inspire a wider cultural and political shift in Brazil. A year later, in 1968, the Tropicália movement was epitomised by the album Tropicália ou Panis et Circencis by musicians Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Maria Bethânia, Gal Costa, Os Mutantes, Tom Zé, Nara Leão, Torquato Neto, and Rogério Duprat. The album came to be considered the defining sound of the Tropicália movement. The artists involved created a new exotic version of pop, being as influenced by psychedelia as it was by samba, bossa nova and more traditional South American genres. Tropicália created musical and cultural anarchy, a revolution in Brazilian sound.

https://soundcloud.com/francescamackay returns to the airwaves with a new episode of Architextures, 2 hours of music inspired by the YBAs.

The YBAs, or Young British Artists, were a group of innovative artists who began exhibiting at the end of the 1980s and rose to international prominence in the 1990s. They represented a new and exciting phase in British art and were considered innovative, entrepreneurial, provocative and irreverent. They appeared during a period of political and economic upheaval, when Britain was perceived as lacking a truly vibrant postmodern art culture comparable to the Pictures Generation in New York and the Neue Wildern in Berlin. Postmodernism’s characteristic traits: appropriation, rejection of fine art materials, preoccupation with spectacle, and the rejection of distinctions between high and low culture, ran through the heart of much of the YBAs' work. Leading artists of the group include Damien Hirst, whose installation The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living consists of a dead shark preserved in formaldehyde in a vitrine, and Tracey Emin; My Bed is comprised of her own dishevelled double bed surrounded by detritus. The shock value, use of non-art material and processes of such works, and the group’s ‘can do’ entrepreneurial attitude and wild ‘art-world slumming’ lifestyles documented in the UK tabloids placed the YBAs at the epicentre of intense debate within the art establishment, media and public spheres and fuelled their subsequent global notoriety and massive commercial success.
This month’s mix is a BritArt Britpop synergy soundtrack for the late 80s and early 90s...from Warehouse to Glasto to the Royal Academy of Art and back again...
