Radiohead – ‘Jigsaw Falling into Place’
Directed by Adam Buxton and Garth Jennings
Stack-hat cam!
I love the simplicity of this film clip. It is such a literal and intimate performance of their music, but still with that little bit of a challenging twist you come to expect. Feeling personally attached that close to their faces is a bit uncomfortable and almost a bit surreal as the room starts spinning a bit harder and you are just hoping that sweat doesn’t come at you (probably most Radiohead fan’s wet dream).
I went to the Double Take: Anne Lander Award for video and new media exhibition yesterday at the Art Gallery NSW.
What it cemented in my mind is that it is GREAT to see an engaging and entertaining work in a gallery. It is so refreshing to be able to laugh whole heartedly with a work. I think all too often art is pitched as an academic/elitist activity where if you don’t get it then you may be left wondering forever.
These guys from Melbourne are beautiful! The aim of their work is often to engage with audiences of all age groups. I love that they play with fascination and negotiate fun ways to manipulate space. Really lovely. The humble telescope is one of the more recent projects.
