move on?

Sinavil has been inactive for a long time. One reason was that the last few months were full of changes as I moved to London and I almost had no free time. On the other hand I find blogger quite unfriendly so I have decided to stop this blog and give it a go somewhere else, with the same name...

So, this will be the last post at blogger. It is a wonderful photo by Robert Johnson.

Kevin spends his free time sitting in traffic: "It's sport to me. With nowhere to go, I'll prowl the concrete arteries of the city, counting women doing their makeup in the rearview, men eating an artery-buster burger, kids throwing a tantrum in the backseat like chimpanzees in a shitfight. Ahh, I love Los Angeles."

Alexandros Vasmoulakis in L.A.

With the sarcastic title "is everybody happy?" the viewer is invited in a satirical play of chaos having the female figures as the central characters. Alexandros Vasmoulakis uses fragments from advertized models as a fundamental source in order to dismantle the "ideal" image of refinement. The collage-like women stare insistently towards the spectator, carrying these uncanny shiny smiles that express derision and irony in conjunction with confusion and anxiety. A jumble of narratives is created out of ink and acrylic, which brings into surface the relationship between the female nude and the male gaze. 

The first solo exhibition of Alexandros Vasmoulakis in the U.S, is presented at the Lebasse Projects, on Saturday the 20th of March 2010.

Thousands of years old

Nick Howard is an artist based in Minneapolis U.S.A. For his work he uses pens and ink, creating dark figures without a face, alien creatures with hairy tentacles, landscapes smothered in grass and portraits of ancient men. The vulnerability, darkness, beauty and humor that is entailed in being human, are the main concerns in Nick Howard’s art. The portrait Thousands of Years Old focuses on a detail of the human face, in order to comment on the importance of the passing of time and our obsession with beauty.

This work is going to be exhibited in Anarchy vs. Order, an exhibition curated by the design shop, part of the Design Walk 2010 / Poles Apart.

Who Shot Rock & Roll

This picture of Mick Jagger was taken in Philadelphia in 1982 by the British photographer Michael Putland, and is part of the exhibition "Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present", curated by Gail Buckland, currently at the Brooklyn Museum.

"Michael Putland was the official photographer on some of the Rolling Stones’ U.S. and European tours. He had access granted no other photographer and was able to stay in the 'pit' for entire concerts while the other photographers were asked to leave after the first three songs. Putland laments the lack of discrimination in the press today when it comes to celebrity portraiture. 'There is no premium for quality,' he says. 'I love photography, not the nonsense'."
