Takashi Murakami & Pharrell Williams: The Simple Things / Art 40 Basel / Interview with Pharrell Williams

At Art 40 Basel, Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin presented a six-foot Takashi Murakami sculpture, made in collaboration with the US record producer and designer Pharrell Williams. The object is titled The Simple Things. It features a glass-fiber, steel, and acrylic head based on Murakami's cartoon-inspired signature character Mr. Dob. In its mouth you find objects which are the essentials in Pharrell Williams' everyday life: A can of Pepsi, a cup cake, a sneaker and bottle of Johnsons baby lotion. These objects are encrusted with 26,000 diamonds and gems.

In this interview with Ute Thon, Pharrell Williams talks about how cooperation came about, the idea behind the sculpture, his interest in art and design, the artists and designers he admires, and his own design works.

BURMA VJ: Anders Østergaard, Khin Maung Win Interview
Liza Béar
9:58
BURMA VJ: Reporting from a Closed Country , directed by Danish filmmaker Anders Østergaard uses camcorder and cellphone footage from undercover DVB reporters risking their lives. The story of the brutal quelling of the September 2007 monks' uprising is narrated by an unseen protagonist, Joshua, a 27-year-old reporter exiled in Thailand. A Sundance and Berlin festival award winner, the film opens May 20 at the Film Forum, New York in this its theatrical premiere.

Background—Burma, September 2007: An increase in fuel prices sparks extensive protests by students and activists against the military junta. For the first time, they are joined in the streets of Rangoon by thousands of Buddhist monks (the saffron revolution). While 100,000 people protest a repressive regime that has held the country hostage for over 40 years, foreign news crews are banned and the Internet is shut down. The Democratic Voice of Burma, a collective of 30 underground video journalists (VJs) record these dramatic events on handycams and cellphones and smuggle the footage out of the country, broadcasting it worldwide from Norway via satellite. Risking torture and life imprisonment, the VJs document the brutal clashes by the military and undercover police — themselves becoming the targets of the authorities.

Interview with Anders Østergaard and Khin Maung Win, deputy director of the Democratic Voice of Burma in exile was filmed by Liza Béar and originally posted on www.squaringoff.blip.tv.
Tate Video on Expanded Cinema
Tate

From YouTube:
"Expanded Cinema: Activating the Space of Reception.

Works identified as Expanded Cinema often open up questions surrounding the spectator's construction of time/space relations, activating the spaces of cinema and narrative as well as other contexts of media reception. In doing so it offers an alternative and challenging perspective on filmmaking, visual arts practices and the narratives of social space, everyday life and cultural communication."

The monks belong to the All Burma Monks' Alliance, (ABMA) Utica, NY, whose goal is to support the many monks currently being held as political prisoners in Burmese jails, refugee monks who have escaped incarceration and torture, and to promote human rights and democracy in Burma. The film, Burma VJ, is now in theatrical release in the US, and showing at the Film Forum in New York. See also the interview with Anders Østergaard and Khin Maung Win on this blog.
