We’ve worked with Danny Wimmer Presents and the Aftershock Festival for many years now and are once again super excited to spend next weekend at Discovery Park in Sacramento. Aftershock makes for a great segue from the longer days of Summer into Fall and we can’t wait to see how it all goes down again next weekend. Tickets are still available in limited quantities. More details and info below.
“This is an interesting and intimidating challenge …!”, Thom Yorke of Radiohead wrote today about an ambitious project: taking the 2003 album Hail to the Thief and adapting it for a new production of Hamlet. The project is called Hamlet Hail to the Thief, featuring William Shakespeare’s iconic text along with the songs of Hail to the Thief, which Yorke has orchestrated and “remolded” for 20 musicians and actors. Per the press release…
We are excited today to premiere the new video for the Jesus Lizard’s “Falling Down”, from the new album, RACK, created by our old friend, Bill Barminski. The artist said of the collaboration, “We all come from the same place and there seems to be a bond between people who were there. So when Duane asked me to do this video I naturally said yes. It’s all hand drawn cell animation…
A hook and ladder company, gravediggers and bingo enthusiasts are some of the eye-popping denizens truly celebrated by film director and photographer Neal Slavin in the expanded golden anniversary edition of When Two or More are Gathered Together. Years ago, his group portrait of a boy-scout troop, all shiny medals, reds and tans, faces freckled or milky white, inspired a life-long allegiance to color and a fascination with groups. “I…
There doesn’t seem to be anything more 1984 than taking what was one of the most popular selling books of the 21st century and printing an alternative text upon its ashes. There is that wonderful moment in Orwell’s masterwork that reads “Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And…
This past weekend, Juxtapoz visited the West Coast’s largest rock festival, Aftershock, a four day excursion that had us in the midst of a quite an electric and eclectic collection of music. At the heart of it all, and it can’t not be mentioned, we are still getting used to being in the swing of being around more than 160,000 people. Well, technically 40,000 people each day, but they definitely…
Call her a mermaid lord, puppet wizard, or punk princess—Cissi Efraimsson is many magical beings in one. Oscillating between art, film and music, she’s the first animator to anthropomorphize salmon sushi. Drawn to sea dwellers, her new film imagines salty mermaids in captivity, each of them hand-crafted and scripted by the artist. Cissi is also a lead member of the loveable Swedish punk band, Vulkano, and her ceramic sculptures feel…
Many curious feelings arise from the photographs in Andrea Modica’s new book, Theatrum Equorum. They emerge slowly, and sometimes surprisingly, between intentionally repetitive images of horses lying in repose, resting on beds of shredded paper, enclosed by dark, and featureless walls. It isn’t a context where we are accustomed to seeing horses. They are supposed to be outdoors, in a field, trotting off into the sunset. Still lifes made up…
As the holidays approach, many of us are returning home or gathering with our families again. Maybe it’s friends that gather or maybe it’s solitude that awaits, either way, thoughts are drifting to a different sort of place, one a little further removed from the day-to-day of our lives. It has almost been three years since the first Covid lockdowns began, when our families, friends, and solitude were suddenly sitting…
