MUSIC, along with smell, has the magic capacity of instantly transporting us back to the very moment we heard it first. Ever since I was a teenager a few light years ago, music, art and football have been the dominant passions (at least the ones I can admit to) in my life. I’m therefore particularly happy to launch the first of what will be an annual MUSIC theme sale. We gave it four components: art works by contemporary artists that have a reference to music; art works by contemporary musicians; portraits of contemporary musicians by top photographers; and musical memorabilia. Only the last category had hitherto been focused on by the art market. Whether it is Peter Blake creating the ultimate album cover for Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles in the 1960s, or more recently Damien Hirst doing all the fabulous artwork for the last two releases of The Hours, there has always been an inextricably close link between art and music. Some years ago, at the instigation of the great collector Monique Barbier-Mueller, I conducted a charity auction at the Dallas Museum of Art in tandem with a Texan cattle auctioneer. Listening to my colleague that night I was struck by the musicality of his performance. Attending some Hip Hop concerts by artists such as 50 Cent or Eminem, their rhythmic rapping also reminded me of the pace of certain auctions. This led to the idea of asking a musician to create a sound carpet that will accompany the live part of our MUSIC auction. I’m thrilled that the supremely gifted Matthew Herbert found inspiration in this novel challenge and will make this the first auction ever to have a soundtrack. Thanks to H.I.H. Francesca von Habsburg I made earlier this year my first trip to Iceland. I fell in love with this country and its inhabitants, the majority of whom are artists, poets, writers or musicians. It was my privilege there to meet Jónsi, whose dreamy music with Sigur Rós transports you to another level and whose art epitomizes what this sale is all about. Finally as Abba would sing: Thank you for the MUSIC.

Jón Thór (Jónsi) Birgisson ﬁrst achieved international recognition as the lead singer and front man for sigur rós, a band which in their words ‘really found their feet’ with their second album, the masterpiece that is Ágætis byrjun (A good beginning). The album was originally released only in iceland, but was discovered by Brighton’s Fatcat records, who snapped up the band and released the album in the UK in August 2000. The band toured north America for the ﬁrst time in April and May 2001, and the vast majority of the dates sold out straight away. Perhaps due to the hype in the American media, the shows were attended by many big-name celebrities, somewhat to the band’s bemusement. since then the band has gone from strength to strength, their recognizable music conjuring up both the strangeness and beauty of their native iceland. To date sigur rós have released four albums and one remix album Von brigði (recycle bin). Praise has continued to be heaped upon the band. Brad Pitt recently said in an interview that the group was his ‘favourite band of all times.’ in 2006 Jónsi and his romantic partner Alex somers released a picture book, Riceboy Sleeps. Earlier this year the duo's track ‘happiness’ provided one of the standout moments on AiDsawareness compilation Dark Was The Night, and the same track

KW When did you start making art together? alex When we moved in together in 2005. Our trajectory is similar. I used to collect old photographs when I was a student in Boston. I used to go to flea markets and little antique shops and find beautiful photographs – and then I found that Jónsi collected old photographs too. At first it was just the content that attracted me but I was also drawn to the colours, the beautiful sepias and also the sense of movement.

also designed a number of sigur rós album covers including the cover of Takk, which won the Best Album Design at the 2006 icelandic Music Awards. Jónsi & Alex, as they are self-styled, released their ﬁrst album Riceboy Sleeps in 2009 and are working together now on their next album. i caught up with Jónsi and Alex in new York where they

KW Were the photographs that you found in Iceland the same that Alex found in Boston? J Yes and no, they were at ﬁrst mainly old-fashioned photographs of people sitting, very still, old classic photographs but now we are into movement – I like it that some moment is captured.

were recording new tracks for the follow up to Riceboy Sleeps. i spoke to them individually about their art but it soon became apparent that like all great collaborations, their artwork was a conversation between them.

KW Was using found images important? J Finding things is still important. There are lots of accidents and that’s important. It’s like ﬁnding a prize, it’s like something in the music, something that grabs you in music, a photograph, in food and all kinds of stuff. It is an inspiration. a In the beginning we used the image but now we draw from the picture, movement in the photograph or something that sparks other ideas; zoom in on a detail in a corner, a tree in the background, for example.

KW Tell me about the frames that you used in your recent show, are they found as well? A We were forever drawing and one day we were in the countryside and we were walking – it is very desolate in Iceland and empty – and we came upon a huge pile of abandoned windows, probably an old summer house or something. So we filled up a car, went home and returned and filled up another car and decided that it was the right way to make frames for our paintings. In 2006 we made an exhibition using these old windows as frames. Since then we have kept an eye out for old windows and collect them when we see them. But we don’t want to get stuck in one idea so we may not use windows forever. KW I think the art reflects something in the music. It is wistful and nostalgic. Is that fair? J Yes, I suppose our art is like that. Nostalgic, ghostly, dreamy. It reminds you of your past. KW Who inspires you? J There are many artists that inspire me but I can’t name any. KW Is there an artist? A Yes! Henry Darger, I only discovered him recently, I like Sally Mann as well. I am influenced by her photographs. KW Do you draw to your music? A We don’t draw to our music. Jónsi has got me into old music, crackling records. J Yes, I work at home and I always have music on. I like old music, old jazz, Django Reinhardt or Billie Holiday. KW Is the nostalgia in the music important in your artwork? J I like music for its atmosphere. I keep it on in the background. I like its scratchiness, it’s like a crackling fire in the background, it’s cosy – like creating a cocoon that is nice to be in. 21

Jónsi Birgisson and Alex Somers celebrated the release of their album Riceboy Sleeps with a display of their art work earlier this year at the French patisserie gallery Maison Bertaux, Greek Street, London. We photographed the work there and I asked Jónsi and Alex to write their thoughts about this work, which they did in their very personal and colourful fashion.

KW Are Nordic composers like Arvo Pärt an inspiration to your work? J Arvo Pärt was deﬁnitely an inspiration. Some works like Galine: innocent and honest and pretty and really beautiful, simple and touching. I have admiration for doing something that was so simple and beautiful. It was a brave thing for him to do. I think the music critics would probably really hate it. KW Can you see changes in your art? A I notice there is more colour in the work recently. We started with pencils and charcoals. We wanted to stay safe and in our comfort zone, but recently started using more colour, different layers of colour. That was why we chose watercolour, as you can make it opaque, and barely there. We used tea shades to start with but we are experimenting with more and more colour. We crept more into colour, pale tones, and we grew into it. We are using more colour and we are really into it. J I like working in what inspires me at the moment, photography, video or painting. Whatever inspires me. KW What are you working on together at the moment? A We are doing lots of creative projects together. We edit together and mix and make drawings and paintings together. KW And the future? J I would really like to focus on video. It is our strong side, that and installation. Alex and I really compliment each other so well. I would like to do more but it is about ﬁnding the time. I am still working with Sigur Rós and on my own stuff as well. KW What is it like to collaborate with another person – be honest! J Collaborating with Alex has been good. I work fast, he’s slow. He’s thorough, I’m spontaneous. I kick his ass and he focuses me. n Riceboy Sleeps lot 104, estimate £1, 5 0 0 -2, 0 0 0 ; lot 105, estimate £1, 5 0 0 -2, 0 0 0 22

Daniel birnbaum curatorial tutorial interview karen wright | PhotograPhy Dominik butzmann

Dr Daniel BirnBaum is rector of Frankfurt’s Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste, more commonly known as the Städelschule. He is also, he is quick to tell me, a failed drummer and philosopher. Daniel was born in Sweden in 1963. He had a peripatetic childhood, living in Geneva, Vienna, Cambridge, massachusetts and Stockholm. He is impressively well educated: his studies at Stockholm university, where he received his PhD in philosophy, included comparative literature, art history, philosophy and the history of religion. He also broadened his horizons by studying art history at both Columbia and the Freie universität, Berlin. Shortly after leaving university, Daniel became the art critic for Stockholm’s newspaper Dagens Nyheter. From there, he says, it seemed a natural progression to become a curator. He wanted to ‘go backstage instead of being in the audience, and observe the performance from another point of view.’ in 2001 he accepted his current position as rector of the Städelschule, at the same time becoming director of Portikus, a nearby art space affiliated to the school. His curatorial stints have culminated in directing this year’s fifty-third Venice Biennale: Making Worlds. This is not his first time in Venice. in 2003, he co-curated (with Francesco Bonami) the international Section of the Biennale: Dreams and Conflicts – The Dictatorship of the Viewer. in 2005, Daniel was co-curator of the first moscow Biennale: Dialectics of Hope, and, in 2006–7, he was co-curator (with Hans ulrich Obrist) of Uncertain States of America, a touring show. last year, he co-curated 50 Moons of Saturn, the Yokohama Triennial, as well as serving as curator of the second Turin Triennial: T2 Torino Triennale. as Director of Portikus, he has curated exhibitions with both young artists such as Paul Chan and the late Jason rhoades, and more established figures like John Baldessari. reading through his achievements, as well as his list of publications and first-rank trusteeships, it is easy to be impressed. in person the man himself is equally impressive. He is generous with his time, although he is clearly tired when we meet, having just flown back from a long weekend in Belo Horizonte at the opening of another section of Bernardo Paz’s extraordinary contemporary project: Nine New Destinations. He flourishes a book in front of me, a catalogue from 1969 from the Stockholm museum museet. ‘This is where the Venice Biennale comes from,’ he says. His voice and his face are alive with intelligent enthusiasm. Failed philosopher, drummer manqué or not, this is a man capable of inspiring and uplifting – someone with whom i for one would love to study.

We are sitting at a long table in Daniel Birnbaum’s large, airy ofﬁce in the Städelschule. He produces a newspaper with a prominent headline, ‘Mickey Mouse,’ and says, ‘perhaps this is a good place to start: Leopold Stokowski and Walt Disney.’

had with Mallarmé. Music ﬁnds its absolute purity in John Cage’s silence, which can also suggest something else, something very expansive – an art without borders, where the sounds from the nervous system, or the trafﬁc outside, or the heartbeat, are part of his conception of art and music.

Karen Wright I have tried in the past to get people to write about animation as an artform but it is hard. Daniel BirnBaum Stokowski and Disney – their collaboration on Mickey Mouse and Fantasia – are part of a desire to be on the other side: rock musicians want to be artists, artists want to start bands, architects want to be artists. The idea of an artistic crossover isn’t new, for example, the ballet in Paris.

KW Do you think that artists having multidisciplinary careers is a trait of the early twenty-ﬁrst century? DB For decades we had Hermann Nitsch here. He was a professor of something that at the time seemed very radical: interdisciplinary art. Hermann, who was highly subversive, was also Austrian and formalistic. He always called me the ‘diréctor’ and saw the school as hierarchical, although this was partly a joke. When he retired in 2004, he said that the radical thing now would be to insist on a single focus for each student, say, there’s someone who can really do a piece of sculpture, or maybe a painting – it was no longer necessary to insist on interdisciplinary art.

KW Do you mean Sergei Diaghilev? DB Yes, or the Swedish Ballet in Paris with Picasso and Picabia. On the one hand is this idea of a crossover, on the other is the modernist idea of purification – the formalists, Michael Fried or Clement Greenberg, that idea of each artform finding its specificity and purity: painting in the end becomes just a flat surface and writing is pure writing, which we already

KW So have you continued Hermann’s thinking? DB We have Wolfgang Tillmans here as a teacher. When he founded his class, he insisted that he was not a photographer. He wanted students who 24

do film or even painting. It is interesting to think that, twenty-five years ago, this was a radical gesture by Hermann, this insistence on an interdisciplinary course. KW You are in Germany, where you still must have the ongoing Joseph Beuys effect, namely that anything can be art if it is done artfully. A lecture could be a sculpture, for instance. Is this where this is coming from? DB Beuys is re-appearing, perhaps. But more important for us here, we had Peter Kubelka, a filmmaker, one of the founders of the film anthology archive. He insisted that he’s not a professor of film, but a professor of film and cooking. Kubelka’s work here is not really about eating and cooking as a social exchange. It is more about the specificity of the cooked object as the oldest art form – its physics and chemistry. The chef who works with the elements is a God-like creature, and who doesn’t want to be a god? Kubelka asked. For the identity of this school, Kubelka is very important because there is a food tradition here; a lot of such initiatives have come out of the Städelschule. It’s another crossover.

will always say it’s the art market speaking: paintings are ﬂat objects that are very, very valuable and easy to display and to look at and sell and ship and transport and insure and put in storage – it’s all much easier, for example, than Kubelka’s kitchen operations. KW This leads me into the new paintings by Damien Hirst. Do you think this is about the return to speciﬁcity? DB I don’t think one can say it has anything to do with the discipline of painting. The art market is operating here, and Damien is very clever at operating the market and its changing expectations.

KW Do you see a Kubelka inﬂuence in the work of people like Rirkrit Tiravanija or Carsten Höller? DB I don’t think that Rirkrit or Carsten came out of Kubelka. Isn’t that more from Fluxus and Situationists and that kind of thing? KW Moving back into music again, why do you think art schools spawn so many bands? DB Art school, or design school, is a place where people experiment: they don’t know if they want to become painters or musicians. Every school, including our little school here, produces lots of bad rock bands. You know the story about Kraftwerk? They were in Düsseldorf, in the music school, and they re-branded themselves after Gilbert and George. But it wasn’t only Gilbert and George: their album cover for Man-Machine was inspired by the work of Lisitsky. But it was supposedly after Konrad Fischer brought Gilbert and George to Germany; suddenly, it’s cooler – better, to look like a banker. To be motionless, machine-like, to be like a singing or living sculpture. Konrad was great at bringing in America artists.

KW I thought he was painting himself into a corner but now it seems he’s attempting to get out of it in a different way. DB Do you think he’s painting those himself? That will be the new thing! KW Do you see a return to the hand here in the school? DB If you look at an art school, you can see that things aren’t changing so quickly: many different things are happening simultaneously. An interesting place to look at what people are doing is in the workshop. The print shop here has instruments that are hundreds of years old. That is where the memory of image production remains in a little school like this, a place in which students can see how to print with wood, with metal, all these different machineries. We had William Kentridge here as a guest professor. The more obsolete the object, the more interesting it is to him. He typiﬁed a certain tendency within this school and perhaps within artists generally, a strange attraction triggered by these old machines. Confronted by them, artists ﬁnd some sort of friction, a protest against the smooth convergence towards digital hegemony. A traditional discipline like painting of course can fall within this mindset. On the other hand, within this school everybody works with the same computer programmes, so there’s a convergence towards the cannibal artist.

KW Things were so different then, weren’t they? DB Today, no one is impressed or surprised that a young, hip, or cuttingedge American artist is showing in Berlin – it is almost taken for granted. But wouldn’t you say that the music-art thing is characteristic of something that seemed to happen in the 90s, an idea of artists cannibalising other forms of artistic expression, other forms of creativity? This was an ongoing proximity that we could give so many examples of – Jorge Pardo or Andrea Zittel, Tobias Rehberger with some sort of closeness to design, sometimes just appropriating design objects. Most visible of all is the dialogue with film. Douglas Gordon, for example, was very knowledgeable and almost obsessed with cinema. Other people ‘used’ cinema, somehow finding one little jump cut, or one scene, and then turning that into an installation. Then suddenly artists from Cindy Sherman to many others wanted to do film. There seems to be a desire to get into Hollywood. Another crossover. We have film, food (perhaps this is a phenomenon unique to Frankfurt), the kitchen, and music.

KW What about sound in the school? DB One professor here is Willem de Rooij, a ﬁlmmaker and artist from Holland. With him we made a sound studio. Twenty years ago it would have cost hundreds of thousands, but through the technological revolutions that allow even one computer to do what the sound studio did ﬁfty years ago, we built an advanced sound studio with just 30,000 euros. And that has been used by lots of people. We now have a drum-kit in the school so when everyone has gone home I play the drums. [laughs]

KW So no one wanted to be a painter or photographer, but an ‘artist’? DB Or maybe a kind of artist at large? Is this more an effect of conceptual art? What does that will to cross the barrier mean? It’s an interesting question. And then the resistance to that with an insistence on speciﬁc genres. I mean there are painters who insist that they are painters. Now, sometimes it is said that there is a return to painting. In this case, people

KW Tell me about your curating. What was the ﬁrst show you ever curated? DB It was at the university of Stockholm. We did shows there, which were more like parties, but with some quite good artists. The relationship between artist and curator was more like that between friends. We once did a show in a cinema.

«Dieter roth’s magnum opus was the complete works of hegel turneD into 20 sausages» KW It’s exactly how Hans Ulrich started in a way… DB But he was young, he was 11 or something! [laughs] KW And tell me about the Portikus. DB The Portikus is just a Kunsthalle but the city already has a museum of modern art and the Kunstverein. So we have a great freedom to do things. It doesn’t matter if the artist is Gilbert and George or even Gerhard Richter, or if it’s someone very young – we had the ﬁrst Paul Chan show in Europe, a show by Paola Pivi and Wade Guyton. We’ve done a lot of things at the school that are collective works, we had a Jason Rhoades show that was basically a factory of salad dressing. The whole school was Jason’s 26

show. His whole class of students, they were all in love with him and doing fun things all night. He was a tyrant, he was ruthless and bribed his students to do these things, you would get a TV if you installed his work – it was a tense situation sometimes. KW Did you use the Portikus as a model for the Biennale? DB The Portikus has been a place where the artist has redeﬁned the institution of an art school completely. It can be a bazaar, a factory, a cinema, a classical exhibition space or anything. I always thought that if we could bring a little bit of the atmosphere of the Portikus and the school to a big blockbuster thing like the Biennale, it would be nice. You’ll see the photos of the parade we did here, not even the Guggenheim could do it. It takes 200 enthusiastic students to do a thing like that. It’s not about money; it’s about people doing things.

DB When you talk about art without borders, there is this willingness to break out of the institution. To break out of the gallery, the museum, the white cube – it’s a paradoxical thing because often these kinds of artworks and projects are only visible if you have the kind of framework that the institution brings. And I guess we had a moment when there had to be a golden frame around the picture to understand where the art stopped. Then the gallery took over that role: whatever you put in there is art. And then in Venice, the whole city is the framework. Although the frame has become more and more invisible, you cannot really point at it and say, it is this golden line here, or this wall of the white cube gallery. Now it is the whole city. In Cage’s work, it is a temporal frame, a temporal invisible line.

KW As there are smaller sums of money involved, is there more freedom? DB It’s a wonderful space in the sense that we’re always bankrupt, and we have no board of trustees or anything. I decide everything together with a curator. I don’t run a museum, thank God. We don’t produce things that are that expensive. Our shows cost about 30,000 or 40,000 euros not millions of euros. The incredible strength of the commercial part of the art world pushed other things aside, making them marginal, as though nothing else important could happen outside the market. The ﬁrst function to go was criticism, followed by good curatorial skills since powerful gallerists were able to decide everything without any reality check from critics or writers or curators.

KW Is there a strong theme about the amnesia of rediscovery? DB There’s nothing profound in saying that art is not reinvented every second year like pop music or fashion. This means that things have a certain relevance after ten, twenty or even forty years. One could go further back, but we didn’t want to make a show about carpets from the sixteenth century! I mean recent artists who are obviously inﬂuencing what’s happening today. Take someone like Gordon Matta-Clark, for example, who had never been in the Venice art Biennale before. We showed this ﬁlm called the Tree Dance that is not very famous. Without people such as Gordon Matta-Clark and Robert Smithson, it is impossible to imagine the young Brazilian artist Renata Lucas or Simon Starling or Rirkrit – people working with certain architectural sensibilities, and urbanistic

KW Tell me about your Biennale – if it’s not too much of a leap. Did you survive the experience? DB Biennales aren’t there to be loved, but they’re there to be discussed. It is the most vulnerable and exposed thing to be in charge of that whole thing. I have to say I don’t know if it was the show or the moment, but it has been more generously received than usually happens. KW Your choice of title, Making Worlds, was a strong one and seems to sum up much of the exhibition.

Arto Lindsay (second from right) at his parade:

ideas of small shifts and interventions in the urban space. These are the people who keep our conversation about Gordon Matta-Clark alive. And some people say it is stupid of me to suggest that they are influential on Gordon Matta-Clark, but it is artists who keep artists alive. And as soon as Renata Lucas and Simon Starling stop being interested in Gordon Matta Clark, then he’s ready for storage. We also had this new garden where people could do things. It’s interesting to think about the first open-air exhibitions, like the Japanese group Gutai. They did shows for children – they did something on an aeroplane, they did it on a rooftop, they did it in a garden, and that’s interesting, it’s sculptural work and painterly work. Gutai’s work showed how institutions like the Biennale help us to understand who we are today. Gutai, for example, was important for Allan Kaprow and Yves Klein. Including them is not all about political fairness. To understand western modernisation, even to understand who we are in the west, one needs some of these people because they were influential already then. It’s a case of filling in the gaps, although it was not done systematically.

KW Is Öyvind Fahlström interesting as well? DB Fahlström was famous for his poetry, and is interesting because he is a well-known visual artist but also quite inﬂuential in the poetry world. He wrote a manifesto for concrete poetry – I think the ﬁrst one in the world – 29

in 1953. That was not so far away from Dieter Roth, people working with books and working with text, with some sort of poetry, although Dieter Roth was not famous in the poetry world, I think. He has been totally unsuccessful. KW Dieter needs to be resurrected. DB His anger: you know the work Literature Sausage? He took works by particularly irritating, very successful people, like Günter Grass, and put them in a machine, and ground them, and took herbs that you make a sausage with, and made sausages. It started with Günter Grass and other people he hated for their success. His magnum opus was the complete works of Hegel, which he turned into 20 big sausages. should translate a song you don’t understand and then try to sing it. And his is a total mistranslation, almost a little bit rude, to the extent that people wonder what the Chinese think about it. But it’s meant as a joke and I liked it.

KW You had a strong Latin American group as well. DB We had Renata Lucas, Cildo Meireles, Lygia Pape and Sara Ramo. There were other South American artists. It’s about taste. And I like it a lot, that whole Concrete Neo-concrete movement. The best big show I’ve seen in my life was co-curated by Paulo Herkenhoff and Adriano Pedrosa for the São Paulo Biennale in 1998. It was about this Brazilian idea of Brazilian art eating and metabolizing Europe. And if you eat something, you create something of your own because it’s nourishment. So that was a show with a local concept. I just like Brazilian art, but the larger picture is concerned with this idea of western modernism not being complete without other modernisms.

KW A lot of what we have talked about is participatory art. It is really formless in a way, isn’t it? Is this where we should bring back John Cage and his insistence on chance? DB Aspects of Cage’s influence seem to be everywhere – in Rirkrit’s work and Philippe Parreno’s work, he’s a major inspiration. Cage’s major influence on the Venice Biennale is Parreno’s piece. It is about the dialogue between Rauschenberg and Cage at the Black Mountain College, where Rauschenberg talks about his white monochromes as screens for projections for personal fantasies, or visions. Rauschenberg was very important for Venice, and Venice for Rauschenberg. We put these white fake monochromes in Philippe’s piece. And instead of imaginary film, there is real film, something projected on to the screen. And the white blank space is 4 minutes and thirty-three seconds; it’s a Cage piece, the whole thing. If there’s ever been an affective relational/ participatory art, I think Cage is quite a fantastic example. It’s not about 4’33 silence, it’s about the sounds that are there anyhow. He talks about what I mentioned; the heartbeat; the nervous system producing its own sounds. 4’33 is just a random score; it could have been anything. It was just the throw of the dice. David Tudor threw the dice, it was in three parts, and together the scores turned out to be four minutes and thirty three seconds. It was marked with him closing the piano top. With chance, there’s an attraction to something that is beyond intentionality, and beyond control, and beyond the subject, and one way to get at that is to allow for automatic or chancelike processes. And in Cage’s case, it really is chance. But for chance to become interesting, to become visceral in any way, or meaningful, to become readable, the set-up in which chance appears has to be very intelligent. Chance is a challenging thing. If it’s just sloppy and anything goes, then I think we can do that ourselves, we don’t need artists to help us. The exact signature of chance is a very difficult thing. It’s like Francis Bacon didn’t think his paintings were done until there was a chance like process in them, which he explained to David Sylvester. It’s a big tradition to try to bring in chance in some kind of interesting way. But that doesn’t mean that it’s all chance. It’s about a very exact set-up in which chance becomes interesting.

KW So, tell me about sound in the Venice Biennale. DB There was the parade, which is perhaps the strongest example, with Arto Lindsay and his unbelievable guitar, and the rhythms and the streettheatre sensibility to it. Arto is a musician and producer and lately he’s done a few parades, including one here in Frankfurt. For Venice, he made an amazing parade. The Via Garibaldi was turned into this incredibly loud thing with Tony Conrad marching next to William Forsythe – it was beautiful. Paul Chan was in the parade, so he brought some of his artists into the parade. KW I am so sorry I missed it. Is it documented? DB Arto was thinking about what it means to do these parades, which are explosive moments. But how can they be displayed after? At least they will be documented properly. It’s embedded documentation; the cameramen are part of it. It’s on YouTube. KW Isn’t it strange how everything is on YouTube. DB YouTube is a radically democratic thing, which allows for radically democratic stupidity: people can put out things that should not be put out. For instance, an interesting thing: Peter Kubelka, our filmmaker, insisted on the ontological, philosophical specificity of film. He would not allow video cameras in his class, for example. Now all his films are cult objects for obsessed film fanatics, they’re on YouTube. I have no idea what Peter and his loyal friends think about that. But other people think it’s cool to be visible. It’s fine for the parades because they are meant to be inclusive and participatory art. And elsewhere, I had never worked with Roberto Cuoghi before. He has done a number of things in the US, and is one of the more visible Italian artists. He had a large piece on the Scarpa terrace about a Chinese song from a well-known Chinese film. Roberto performed it with instruments that he built himself – he created a sound that is supposed to be this song. But he doesn’t speak a word of Chinese. He sings it himself in a strange voice that he supposedly learnt from an American transsexual. In the end he got a fever! It’s a strange comment on the nature of translation that you

KW Can you summarise how you made your final choice for Venice? DB It is not possible to know everything! So an exhibition with ninety or a hundred artists is a totally subjective thing. No one should think anything else. You try to be informed but in the end you chose things that you find interesting. If you don’t find them interesting, then who else will? An exhibition is an artistic medium in itself. And just as to perform a symphony takes many people – an exhibition is perhaps comparable.

«it’s a wonderful space – we're always bankrupt and we have no board of trustees!» KW What’s in the future? DB I am working on a show with Olafur Eliasson next year in Berlin. KW He’s into acoustics, he’s doing music stuff? DB He has a close friend, an intellectual Icelandic violin-maker. Their work together is not music in the sense that we would usually think of but is certainly acoustic. KW I hear that Olafur is trying to make sculptures out of sound. DB It’s more of an acoustic phenomenon. He has a relationship with music; he was the Icelandic champion of break-dancing. n 30

art school confidential

David Bowie, Brian Eno, David Byrne all share more than music as an occupation. They all are serious visual artists as well. Why are art colleges such fertile breeding grounds for both musicians and visual artists? Rock journalist ChRis PaRkin examines why there is such a cross-pollination and interviews three art making musicians: Graham Coxon, Goldie and Jeffrey Lewis.

When Joe Boyd booked a then little-known beat combo called Pink Floyd as house band at his UFo club in 1966, it wasn’t as a big-ticket attraction. Led by Camberwell College of Art student Syd Barrett, the band were there, in a basement hall under Tottenham Court Road, to accompany the visuals and art being made and performed on those barely remembered, lysergic acid-splashed evenings. Just like a flower-powered reimagining of Andy Warhol’s Factory, the UFo nights were a hive of cross-pollination as artists and musicians, the majority having been through art school, came to play. This incitement to cross boundaries carries on today. emerging from the visual art side of the curtain with their strange leftfield pop are artist david Cunningham (with his band The Flying Lizards) and Turner Prize winner Martin Creed, whose stock-in-trade is roiling, sweary punk rock that can turn the air bluer than an yves Klein. entering from the other side – and creating much more fuss among the cynics – are popular musicians who are committed to the visual medium, many of whom have owned paintbrushes far longer than they have guitars and drumsticks. Thanks to the work of music’s art school alumni such as david Bowie and Brian eno, plus those punk rockers loaded on dadaism, the image of the pensionable rocker stood in front of his easel on Sunday afternoons has taken a buffeting. In recent years there have been celebrated exhibitions from folk-mystic devendra Banhart, whose naïve art has won him genuine acclaim; John Squire, once of The Stone Roses and now making fresh and original abstracts; and david Byrne, who continues to push further than any of them and holds little truck with the restrictive definition of a musician. Blur guitarist Graham Coxon is another who easily straddles these worlds. As well as a 2004 retrospective of his paintings at the ICA, Coxon’s work – ghostly, peaceful figures and colourful, violent scenes – can be seen illuminating his solo albums, like his recent, folkleaning release The Spinning Top, and Blur’s 1999 album 13. Suitably skilled, Coxon was invited by the Tate Modern to soundtrack Franz Kline’s Meryon for their Tate Tracks project in 2007. ‘I missed it all,’ he says, ‘but in the 1960s, when it seemed like they were freer, there were a lot of things being mixed up and I really like that idea. I’ve made soundscapes for some other exhibitions, like Julie Verhoeven, who I did a really long piece for. I like music and art being unstructured. I’m a figurative painter, I suppose, and that goes with structured pop songs, but I do like the looser stuff.’ It’s clear from speaking to Coxon that painting isn’t something he simply dabbles in – he’s candid and open about his art in a way musicians rarely are about their sonic creations. he ponders his reluctance to use computers (‘but I don’t get dirty or smell of turps’) and explains how, despite playing to tens of thousands of rabid Blur fans over the years, he worries himself silly before exhibiting to a few hundred. (‘There were two women whispering, then a little giggle and I thought: oh my God, what are they saying? It was awful. In music you get cheered or booed. In art, people have different sets of symbols and their own visual references, so they see all sorts of different things.’) had Coxon stayed at Goldsmiths, where he studied for a time

alongside yBAs damien hirst, Abigail Lane and Sam Taylor-Wood, things might have been different, but he was invited to take a break when Blur-time took over and that was that. he’s well-placed, then, to explain why musicians and the creatively undecided find their way into art school. ‘Growing up, creative people naturally pick up a guitar or a pencil, so the two things develop side by side and art school is the only place you can go – it’s like a boundaryless place for experimentation. There’s performance art, painting, dance, just about everything. It doesn’t necessarily train you to be a great frontman, though. Learning the guitar and drawing doesn’t sharpen your social skills,’ chuckles the famously shy guitarist. It’s a different story in America. Brooklyn comic book artist and antifolk troubadour Jeffrey Lewis, whose punk streams of consciousness teeter compellingly between the hilarious, the surreal and the disturbing, had no inclination to attend art school. For anyone without the means, it just isn’t the place to find your chosen art-form, says Lewis. ‘People at art school in the States might be involved in music as well, but going to college is so expensive that anybody who’s going to art school who isn’t paying vast amounts of money has to be a pretty dedicated artist to get a scholarship.’ Certain that he’d make his living as an artist, Lewis never for a moment thought he’d become a musician. had he been making his living from art, Lewis says he might not have bothered with the music, which is an alarming thought for his fans. Instead, he combines the two like he was born to do so, illustrating his songs with comic book expositions of the Mayflower story and tales of a Private dick. In drum ‘n’ bass pioneer Goldie (Clifford Joseph Price on his passport), Lewis has an unlikely kindred spirit. After he ‘ran away from art-college, literally climbed the fence and never went back,’ the West Midlands jack-of-allarts, who spent years in care homes as a child, let things evolve organically, just like Lewis. And wielding the wise words of david Bowie, who once told him ‘reinvention is the greatest gift we’ve ever been given,’ Goldie’s art, whichever form he might be working on at the time, is coloured by a journey that saw him begin as a world-famous graffiti artist, which he revisited in his latest exhibition The Kids Are All Riot, and end (for now, anyway) composing a piece of music for the recent Proms. Goldie’s art school is life – not a bad alternative if the tuition fees go up. ‘There has to be a tension in art,’ says Goldie in his usual 150bpm. ‘People saying what is and isn’t, but it’s up to the individual artist, how much he’s learnt along the way, to make it as solid as it can be and draw from what he’s picked up along the journey. My life chose me, I didn’t really choose it. I’ve tried to run away from art, from painting, from music, but I can’t get away. If you take away the name Goldie, I’m just this kid who’s had an amazing journey, seen some amazing things and all of that amalgamates into what art is.’ n

Graham coxon

was born in 1969 in Rinteln, West Germany and grew up in Colchester, where he met Blur co-founder Damon Albarn. After leaving the band in 2002 he rejoined in summer 2009 when they reconvened for several triumphant live shows. Having studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths, Coxon was awarded an honorary fellowship by the college in 2006. He’s currently promoting his latest solo album, The Spinning Top, and painting in his new studio. Does your art come from the same place as your music? Some of the visuals that come with the new album are quite violent, but that’s always been the two extremes. I’ve always liked musical violence – I was very inﬂuenced by The Who and people like that – but then I like the absolute other extreme, too, people like Chopin and glassy, calm, beautiful music. With visual art I’m the same. I like the symbolists but then I also like Willem de Kooning and Door to a River, work in which there’s more violence. I was always into the black and white Klines.

Why did you dislike art school so much? I was possibly too immature to get down to it, really. I was 19, I’d moved away from home and at my previous art school I was one of the most serious people there. Then I went to London and there were so many things to learn about, your ﬁrst time away from home. If you’d have got beyond the sort of serious I was in my previous art school you’d get into the realms of pretentious pain in the arse and when I got to Goldsmiths a lot of people irritated me; they took themselves far too seriously. I was always serious about art but as a person I’m generally quite light-hearted and it got on my wick.

Would you give it another go? I’ll probably never be as good an artist as I am a guitar player, but it doesn’t mean I can’t hang up the guitar for a couple of years and see if I can’t ﬁnd my way with drawing and painting. That’s something I’ve been toying with lately, whether I should just see if there’s anything there. www.grahamcoxonart.com 33

jeffrey lewis

33-year-old punk storyteller has released his last three albums on Rough Trade (’Em Are I, his latest). He studied Literature at the State University of New York at Purchase and his senior thesis explored the graphic novel The Watchmen, which he describes as ‘the Ulysses of comic books.’ His own comic series Fuff can be found at his shows or, like the rest of his art, at olivejuicemusic.com.

You’re fond of narratives in your work. I do enjoy having a narrative, although a bunch of the songs aren’t necessarily so. They have verses and choruses, but I suppose it’s more unusual for people to use narrative in song. The fact I do any puts me in the narrative guy pile. With my art, because most of what I’m interested in is comic books, it’s 100 per cent narrative. I’ve never been into oil painting or anything purely image-making or making a statement with the art itself. The statement that the art makes is the story I’m telling.

Top: Lewis’s series of comic books FUFF, the ﬁrst of which came with a CD of Lewis performing a rhyming lecture, ‘The History of Punk on the Lower East Side, 1950–1975.’ Above: the album cover for Jeffrey Lewis and the Junkyard’s album ’Em Are I (May 2009).

You’re nearly always on tour; how do you work? Very haphazard and cats as cats can. It’s hard to ﬁnd time to get any work done because every day you’re in a car travelling to a venue, then you’re sound-checking, playing your show, selling comics and CDs, working out where you’re going to spend the night. It’s hard to ﬁnd the hours of solitary focus time and a place that has decent lighting and a surface to work on. www.thejeffreylewissite.com

Does one art form come more naturally? The art takes a lot of time and work but it’s pretty much guaranteed I’ll have something good at the end of it if I put eight, ten, twenty hours into a project. I feel like I’m much more adept at the craft of making art, whereas the music relies on inspiration. When that happens, it’s incredibly easy because I can sit down and an idea for a song pops into my head, something that people will tell me they like and that I can put on an album and make money with, much more so than art which doesn’t have the same sort of outreach as a song. Yet it might be a song that took me three minutes to write.

Clifford Joseph Price has lived a life of ‘many s.’ Born in 1965 he moved between care homes until the age of 17 when he broke free. He’s since moved stealthily and often brilliantly through the grafﬁti art world, b-boy culture, selling grills (gold teeth), dance music and, recently, classical composition. His most recent exhibition was The Kids Are All Riot. What’s the secret? The practice of alchemy is really it. I’m getting to 44-years-old and I realise that for the last ten years I’ve been scratching my head trying to work out, as an artist, what sort am I? I’ve worked with jewellery, gold, canvas, paint, decks, it doesn’t matter. I found that fascinating in terms of the learning process of art and what comes from that.

Clockwise from top: I Predict a Riot, 2008. This Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore, 2008. Sonic Terrorist Eco-Friendly, 2009.

How important is grafﬁti? Look at anybody from Banksy to me to Bio, all these great writers, and the way of applying an aerosol can to a wall and the application of that medium has stayed pretty much the same over the space of 25 years. What’s amazing is that the manipulation of that has led to lots of things. I mean, try and think of a world without grafﬁti, it’s like remembering going to a disco when there was one deck. A critic once said the barbarian from within will eventually take over the art world as we know it. Lo and behold, that’s what’s happening.

www.eddielock.co.uk

Whether it’s classical music or graffiti, you like to submerge yourself in those worlds. The social aspect of going to New York and hanging out with those writers and feeling what it’s like to be them. Those guys were on crack, their fathers were dealers and they were dealers. It was such a wake-up call: realising the implication of it all, that these people would die for it, this is what they do. Where next? I’ll probably be chipping away with stone and a mallet. Sculpture’s where I began. When I was a kid I made a pram and it had a hood and it was articulated. The teacher asked me to show everyone and as soon as I did I crushed it. I had to think, why did I do that? If I look at it, this kid just wanted to be mothered. I find that’s what I get when I look at fine art – all the stories, the feeling. n 35

Martin creed i’ve got rhythM interview alex coles | PhotograPhy gautier deblonde

Running feet, ticking metronomes and ﬂickering lights – all are descriptions of Turner Prize-winner Martin Creed’s most familiar works. Movement and rhythm are at the core of these pieces. Alex Coles met with Creed in the countdown to the world premier of his ballet, Work No. 1020, at sadler’s Wells, where for the ﬁrst time, Creed will take his love of movement and music onto the stage.

Alex Coles Let’s go back to the beginning. The band OWADA came together in 1994 a few years after you graduated from the Slade. Had you been writing songs before that? MARTiN CReed Aye I had, but eventually that was all channelled through OWADA. That was all the same stuff. First I was working on those early songs, then I tried them out with friends and then it became the band. At the time it felt like a natural progression. But I no longer do things under the name of the band. After a while the band thing felt wrong: I just wanted to do my work – be it music or sculpture. The band felt like a separate thing – something that I was trapped into – and I didn’t like that. It felt fake my being one thing in one context and something completely different in another. AC That makes sense – this way you dissolve the line between the music and the art so that it is just one continuous form of practice. With the way people differentiate between the two leading to confusion, this can only help... MC Aye, and anyway, in my mind I have written sound pieces before, like the voices in the lift at Hauser and Wirth, London in 2004, [Work No. 371: Elevator ooh/aah up/down] which is a sound sculpture rather than a piece to be performed. Then I repeated the idea – the journey of the elevator being the same as the journey of the scale of music from bottom to top – at the Ikon Gallery last year but using a choir instead [Work No. 409]. So the two aspects of what I do have never really been separate. AC There are also the pieces with the metronomes from the 1990s. In a way they were early sound sculptures. MC Exactly.

AC I want to concentrate on the songs for a moment. I’m interested in the precise character of the sound you make. It’s a very minimal, trebly, thin kind of sound. New Wave you could say. Fear of Music (1979), Talking Heads’ third album, is an interesting reference point here not only because of the sound but also because of the titles of the songs: ‘Mind’, ‘Paper’, ‘Air’, ‘Electric Guitar.’ There is that same sense of pared-back simplicity in both sound and song concept. David Byrne said that in the mid-70s, with all the progressive rock around, there was a tendency for the guitar to sound really beefy and macho and that by contrast he wanted his guitar to sound weedy and thin. Your sound has something of that same quality especially on your ﬁrst CD Nothing (1997). MC I remember when he said that too, so I know what you mean.Talking Heads’ early albums have been very important to me. It’s funny though because when I play live now the guitar sound is more beefy and distorted [both laugh]. In those early recordings I always wanted the guitar to sound as clean as possible. I didn’t want to use any effects like reverb or distortion. When you take this approach the sound is thin. But actually it is just the natural sound of the guitar. So it was not so much that I was trying for a weedy sound, but more a straight sound. It was important to me to use the materials as they were without supplementing them in any way. AC There is a parallel here with some of the sculpture works. Many of them were fabricated out of the materials already present in a gallery: air, with the various balloon pieces; light, with the Turner Prize piece from 2001 [Work No. 227: The lights going on and off]; walls, with the various wall protrusions; doors, opening and closing; and 36

ambient sound, with the work from Javier Lopez Gallery in 1995 that recorded the private sounds of the gallery, including the toilet and the director’s telephone, and transported them to the public part of the gallery through an amplifier. MC Yeah. In both cases – with the guitar or the gallery – it is a matter of trying to just let things be. One of my favourite quotes that relates to this is from Michelangelo who said he thought that a sculpture was already in the marble it was just a matter of trying to find it. AC I’ve heard that too. I wonder if he really said it – or whether it was someone in the sculpture department at the Slade in the 1950s and just got passed along. MC If it was Michelangelo, he must have intended it as a kind of fake modesty. But I don’t mind why he said it, I just like it and I think it relates to what I do. AC Right. One of your early songs, ‘Circle,’ establishes a literal relationship between your music and your art because its hilarious lyrics are actually about the artworld. The lyrics go: ‘Stephen Willats thought that Art & Language were ripping him off Art & Language thought that Joseph Kosuth was ripping them off Joseth Kosuth thought that Lawrence Wiener was ripping him off on a recent trip to London Lawrence Wiener saw a show by Stephen Willats he said, “Fuck me this guy’s ripping me off.”’ MC Aye, that was me trying to do a collaboration with Patrick Brill from Bob and Roberta Smith. Patrick wrote those words and I liked them so I wrote music to accompany them. We performed it a couple of times together with him singing but after that I always sang it. AC It’s an interesting one because the song structure and even the precise sound of the rhythm driving the song is cyclical. It repeats itself over and over again – making the lyrics increasingly hilarious as they are repeated. MC I always enjoyed playing that piece. Even though they are not my words, I was one hundred per cent behind it. AC Now that you have dissolved the band name, and with it the concept of a band, it places more emphasis on you as a figure. Where many musicians and artists hide behind the screen of what they do, you stand in front of it. I would have thought that this would help – in the most obvious sense – critics see the two activities as part of one continuous form of practice, but it doesn’t seem to have. Some people still don’t seem to get it. MC Doing gigs under my own name now I think makes it easier because there is no confusion about what I’m doing. But I still get asked whether the music is different to the sculptural work. In response I always say no – no, it isn’t! Doing a gig 39

is just a different way of being in the world. I need to make art and do shows and performances to find out about my work. It’s crucial. I can’t do something on my own in a separate room and then go out and put it in the world. It has to emerge from my time in the world. Sometimes I feel like a goldfish – I have no memory. So I have to go out again and again and find out what it is I like doing and from that understand what it’s about. Going on stage is a crucial part of that. When you are on stage you have a kind of heightened awareness of people and your relation to others. AC Today you have a broad variety of songs to choose from when you play live. In the early 1990s there were fewer. At the time, I thought that your songs were intended as a set of instructions with chords and lyrics, reminiscent of certain types of conceptual art. Do you see the songs like an early Sol LeWitt instruction piece? Or do you see it more like Bruce Springsteen performing ‘Hungry Heart’ for the umpteenth time? I suppose what I’m asking is whether the songs are delivered in a very cool conceptual way or whether you inhabit them by breathing new emotion into them each time they are performed. You need to explain to me what’s happening there... MC ...I’m not quite sure what’s happening there [laughs]. But for sure they are songs other people could do – they are instructions in that way. But at the same time they are close to my heart. I feel I don’t do them in a cool way, and in a way that is a problem. Sometimes I feel more freedom when I work with other musicians – especially orchestras – because then I can get some distance from the piece and see what it’s like. Performing the songs myself is definitely a ‘hot’ activity – it’s not a cool thing. AC By the late 1990s I felt that you were developing two different types of songs: one was more structural and the other much more lyrical. It’s apparent in the difference between say ‘1-100’ from Nothing and ‘You’re the One for Me’ from I Can’t Move (1999). Is this a fair perception and has it changed since? MC Yeah, I think you’re right. The warmer ones were a departure for me and they related to other works I was doing at the time like the ‘Everything is Going to be Alright’ neon pieces. This series doesn’t fit in with the earlier counting pieces or the lights going on and off installation. I find it difficult to say why the more emotive pieces were made whereas with the other pieces it is much easier – it is almost a more scientific approach to making a work. One is more to do with thinking and the other feeling. AC While the emotive songs are structured in a more traditional way, I still couldn’t imagine a Sinatra-style saloon singer covering one, although that would be interesting... MC Aye, I agree about that [both laugh]. But even the more dry scientific pieces are still expressionistic – otherwise I wouldn’t be able to live

AC The next development was the Variety Performances.They are part of this explosion that went off a few years ago in your work when you totally opened out to new mediums and languages with the result that your oeuvre is now much broader and more complex than before. As a consequence, there is now an even more complex relationship between the sound pieces and sculpture realised through the medium of performance. What’s happening here? MC You know, again I don’t know precisely what’s going on! But I do know that it started from doing slide talks about my work. I began more and more to think that talking about work was a whole work in itself. It didn’t just come after the work – it could be a work. I started thinking that it would be better to get rid of the slides altogether – slides seem to be like a third person in the room: there is you, the audience, and then the slides. The slides act like an escape hatch out of the lecture room. So I started doing talks without slides – but I always had one as a backup [laughs]. Instead of showing slides from another time and place I would try and improvise by thinking out loud and making something up using words. To me, this seemed a more true way of talking about making work. Then I started presenting more things during the performances – leading to works that were actually designed purely for theatrical presentation. So where in the early days I talked about the work depicted in the slides, now I try and make a song and dance about the work without it actually being there.That’s what is going on there [both laugh]. AC When you were one of the judges for the Beck’s Prize in 2006, and you did a little jive, a sort of stand-up routine, during the presentation ceremony what exactly was that? I don’t mean it in a facetious way! I mean it genuinely: what was the status of that jive? Was it a performance as a work or just you making a performance of presenting a prize for someone else’s work? MC They just asked me to present the prize. But to me the speech making the presentation in front of the audience was a work too – in fact, just as much so as a sculpture or a song. AC That’s interesting. It’s like the sense you had earlier on that everything you did was somehow a part of the work has now been fully realised. Could you say something about the next stage in the development of the Variety Performances – with the one you did for Calvin Klein in 2008? MC It’s funny you mention that and the Beck’s Prize speech because both of those things were really important to me. They were important even though they were everyday things. Calvin Klein

basically asked me to design a party for them. It was a commercial job, but I was really up for it. Doing things in different venues and contexts is important – whether it’s the theatre, dance, or the fashion world. I already had this piece consisting of an orchestra sitting in a straight line twenty metres or so long which had been performed at Hauser and Wirth at Coppermill in 2007 [Work No. 673]. Part of the idea behind the piece is that the orchestra sit in a straight line so that you can see the music going along the line and then back again. I had designed a huge stage for Calvin Klein so that the musicians could be perched on it and the models could move around them. The stage was like a catwalk where the models could walk around the musicians rather than just in a straight line. Doing works in a situation like that is a way for me to test the work out. If you always do things in art galleries then you only know how things operate in one very specific space. I think it’s important to remember that galleries are just theatres for looking at things and that there are other spaces available. AC I like the idea of the orchestra in a line. Whenever I listen to classical music I never know who is doing what. MC Aye, that’s exactly why I wrote that piece, because I always thought an orchestra was just like a blob. Sounds just seem to emerge from it and you can’t make out who is doing what! AC Could you say something about the ballet at Sadler’sWells and the music it will be performed to? MC Basically the ballet comes from the running piece I did for the Duveen Galleries at Tate Britain in 2008. Doing that piece got me thinking about people moving. Really I thought about the people running as a kind of dance. Both the dancing and running come from thinking about what I do. The one thing I am interested in is the way I move my body. The more I thought about that the more I got to thinking about what I have to do to make something. I was thinking that moving your body is the first thing you have to do in the world. That got me thinking that moving the body is something to concentrate on. If you think of the runners as an extreme example of movement, then working with the dancers is about trying to break movement down into constituent parts.The music I wrote accompanies it. For me the ballet is a way of trying to understand movement... No, not trying to understand movement so much as move better – that’s what it is about. Or to put it another way: you can think of dance forms as trying to live better. You know you were talking about those old songs being more expressionistic or more scientific. In the end, both have the same aim – I did them because I wanted to feel better about being in the world. That’s what it is all about. n Alex Coles is an art critic and an editor.

with them. In the end, all works have to be expressionistic in some way otherwise they don’t feel right. They can’t just be cold experiments - I just wouldn’t be excited about them. In the end they have to be the same in a way. But I totally agree that there is a difference there.

PUMPED into EvEry hotel room across Europe but little discussed in academic or journalistic writing, the music video is a strange amalgam straddling different art forms. the vocabulary of the music video is developing, and there is evidence that it is growing as a platform for directors to explore innovative and artistic filmic techniques. And everyone is trying their hand at it, from fashion photographers to top film directors and artists. in the music video, narrative, music, and, increasingly, visual art, are combined, making this a form like no other. MoMA, new york, led the way. the museum began to accumulate music videos over twenty-five years ago, and continues to incorporate the collection into contemporary exhibitions. When i asked Barbara London, curator of the music video collection at MoMA and of the 1985 show Music Video: The Industry and Its Fringes, about why it is relevant to have music videos in an arts institution, she replied, ‘the music video began as an interdisciplinary hybrid, on the border between performance, music, and visual art during the 1970s. Back then this short, experimental form found its way onto cable television, and into a handful of museums and alternative art spaces a good fifteen years before the arrival of Mtv.’ She continues, ‘the Museum has had a long connection with such visual artists/musicians as Laurie Anderson, an unassuming and charismatic powerhouse who has developed an inventively personal form of storytelling with a disarmingly straightforward style. With her feet firmly planted in the worlds of both art and experimental music, for decades she has adroitly used language to engage and activate her audiences. the Museum exhibited her Handphone Table in its Projects series in 1978. So it was logical that Anderson’s first music video, O Superman (1981), entered the collection as part of the 1985 exhibition i organized. the forty-part survey was really a means of preserving the hybrid form by acquiring as gifts archival copies of key works. After all, the music industry – the record labels, producers, directors and creators of most videos – work under such time pressures, they tend not take care of their own projects.’ i asked Barbara about more recent additions to the collection, and what MoMA looks for when choosing a music video. She responded, ‘to date the Museum has acquired approximately 85 music videos. the works use a range of styles, including animation, live action filming, documentaries, and non-narrative approaches. Some blend different styles, incorporating animation and live action. All are inventive fusions of image and sound. recently, the Museum received forty-one works of David Bowie’s music videos, as a gift from the David Bowie Archive. these videos are directed by such innovators as Mick rock, David Mallet, and Jean-BaptisteMondino, among others.’ this summer, Montreal’s contemporary art museum, MACM, showed its fourth exhibition of music videos. the museum maintains a commitment to showcasing the music video as a growing and ever-changing art-form. one such video from the exhibition is vincent Morisset’s interactive work be oNline B for Neon Bible by Arcade Fire. online, the viewer is able to manipulate the actions of Win Butler, Arcade Fire’s frontman. Move Butler’s arms; make rain fall from his hands. Here is a prime example of how directors are seeking to incorporate new technologies such as the internet into the transforming function of the music video. that MoMA and MACM both consider it appropriate to cover the music video in their collections shows how a once promotional tool of the Mtv generation has and continues to transform into an art form in its own right, fully deserving its place in both hotel room and gallery space. n

christian marclay music of silence text joshua mack

At first blush it seems paradoxical that Christian Marclay would create some of his most mature, conceptually sophisticated work around the idea of silence. After all, ever since his student days in the late 70s, the quality and aesthetics of sound, the ways it is packaged for consumption, and its translation into visual language have remained the overarching themes of his protean work. he has, for example, recorded and re-recorded incidental noise for use as raw material in his live performances. in Video Quartet (2002) and Telephones (1995), he collaged stock images like doors slamming and telephones ringing taken from classic movies into operatic ďŹ lms that reveal the clichĂŠ rituals and visual idioms associated with sound. Much of his sculpture and work on paper (most by necessity mute) implies the presence of music. understanding his splicing of various record albums into often lewd, 48

spheres and cubes of melted vinyl albums, riffs on Minimalist forms and the compressed trash created by French Nouveau-Realists Cesar and Arman, that Marclay made in the late 1980s. Unavailable to be played, that is, unable to produce sound, these records are useless. What remains is a corpse, so to speak, a mass of plastic squashed like old cars ready for the dump. What is lost is not the physical body of the LP, which has simply been reshaped, but the content it is meant to preserve. The soul of the recording, what differentiates it from other discs of black plastic and determines its purpose, is the content encoded in its grooves. Once this is silenced, the album is dead. The irony here is that while recording is meant to preserve the immediacy and quality of live sound, making the past available for the future, the process is more akin to mummiﬁcation. Records, as Marclay’s melted

absurd images of, say, Michael Jackson in bitingly appropriate travesty, as caustic comments on how celebrity image-making and marketing sell music depends on the connection between image and the audible material it advertises. There is, however, an aspect of his work that deals with silence, as Miwon Kwon and Russell Ferguson have noted in the catalog for Marclay’s 2003 mid-career survey at UCLA’s Hammer Museum. In their texts both consider this theme through the lens of sound: Kwon taking the absence of noise as a tabula rasa which invites, even requires, viewers to project their own imagined music on to the work; Ferguson pointing to several pieces which reference death without, however, pursuing the implications of the link between the absence of sound and the absence of life. This connection has a long trajectory in Marclay’s work. Start with the 49

Christian Marclay installing a vinyl piece

the work begins, an electric guitar is tied to the rear bumper of a pickup. Then the truck drives away and accelerates to speed. The guitar skids and bumps across gravel and pavement emitting a hellish symphony of electric wails and rough cracks. Marclay based the work on the murder of James Byrd, Jr, an African American man from Jasper, Texas, who was dragged behind a pickup truck in a racially motivated slaying. There is something horrible and thrilling about the image of the guitar sailing behind the truck, a rush similar to that derived from violent ﬁlms, loud motors, and blaring Electronica among other aspects of popular American culture – similar, I assume, to the reaction Mr Byrd’s killers had to dragging him behind their vehicle. This relationship poses ethical questions, as Marclay acknowledges, about the slippery boundaries between pleasure, aggression, power, and lust. What cements these issues is that Guitar Drag presents an act of silencing; at the end the guitar, like James Byrd, Jr, is incapable of produc-

masses indicate, are fragile items. Their surfaces are easily scratched, compromising the integrity of their contents, a circumstance Marclay has exploited by using the blips and blurs created by such scrapes and skips as raw material in his performances. On one level, doing so underscores the artiﬁciality and impermanence of recorded sound, skewering the common propensity to accept the replayed as the ‘real.’ On another, it hints at a process of decay whereby original material, already mediated, is distorted, obscured until a record becomes unplayable and, other than the incidental noise produced by the rubbing of its surface against a needle, silent. This dynamic is similar to mortality; the schism between the physicality of a recording and the evanescence of its content, to the difference between the body, a person’s material presence, and the immaterial quality of the personality it houses. One of the clearest explorations of this dynamic comes in Guitar Drag (2000), a video realized during a residency at Art Pace in San Antonio. As 50

But they also raise far more nuanced questions about the moral contradictions and compromises inherent in any individual’s participation in society. To what extent, for example, are individual voice and need stilled in order to fulﬁll obligations to the body politic? To what extent do we remain silent in the face of policies we ﬁnd ethically repugnant? Such questions are deeply complex and the answers can become, ironically, quite noisy. But ignoring them, which so many do, is to remain truly silent and, at least intellectually, dead. n

ing a sound other than that of its body thudding against the ground. These moral and social issues are expanded in The Electric Chair (2006) a series of paintings and works on paper based on the detail of a sign reading SILENCE appropriated from Andy Warhol’s 1963 eponymous series. By reducing Warhol’s image to this single word and by keeping his title, Marclay establishes an equation between the command to keep quiet and the chair, suggesting not only that silence is the outcome of execution but that it is a killing mechanism itself. It is, however, the living, those who participate in or witness an execution, who are ordered to remain silent. The philosophical implications of this dynamic are enormous. They seem to begin with a comment on the brutality of capital punishment and an indictment of the individuals and the state that look to the death of one person as recompense for the loss of another.

matthew herbert whips it up text karen wright PhotograPhy grant scott

Matthew herbert is in London planning his unique installation for the MUsiC auction at Phillips de Pury when i ﬁrst meet him. the sound decks will be at the front of the saleroom next to the auctioneer’s podium, adding to the drama of the sale. he will be composing a ‘sound carpet’ for the auction. today, Matthew is also teaching simon de Pury to DJ, in preparation for the opening night of his photography exhibition in berlin. i sit observing them; simon, in his trademark apparel – a sharp navy suit and crisp white shirt – today wearing large incongruous ear phones, working next to a man who could only be an artist or musician, dressed grungily in a dark jumper. after the session i ask Matthew how hard it is to be a DJ? ‘it is about controlling technology and the hardware but it is also about being able to put this together with an artistic sensibility.’ when i ask simon de Pury whether he was nervous about his impending gig his response was that he was ‘looking forward to whipping it up.’ his main stress was that all his ian Dury has disappeared from his itunes. he tells Matthew that he wants ‘to be able to access his herb alpert and his bert bacharach.’ when simon had put on a russ Conway track with voice-over, Matthew had put his hands over his ears, although his response is a genial, ‘be careful of the talking stuff.’ his advice, which can be applied to all aspiring DJs, is ‘to start quietly and when more champagne is drunk you can work it up. have a clear idea of where you want to go and make sure that you have chains of music, two or three pieces that go together so you can fall back on them. DJing is all about managing people’s expectations.’ Good advice from a successful festival DJ. Later i agree to meet Matthew in his studio in whitstable, Kent, where he decamped from London ﬁve years ago in order to focus fully on his music. he and his wife, Jay, and young son, hunter, have a house by the sea. it is a beautiful late autumn afternoon and we spend our meeting perched on a picnic bench outside the whitstable Oyster Company, sadly closed to business at the moment. Our conversation is accompanied by sounds – seagulls and children playing, laughing

«i wanted it to be violent, to reflect bush’s violence in iraq, so i decided to shoot the apple pie»

and whining – something which Matthew points out that in the past he would have been hastening to record and import into his mixer. I ask him about the auction project and he tells me that Simon initially contacted him after he had brought Matthew’s record, Plat du Jour (2004). This was a record made of the sounds of food, and, he tells me, a response to the historic dinner between George Bush and Tony Blair cooked by Nigella Lawson: ‘a reprisal of the current state of the British food industry, it was composed literally of the sounds of poo flowing down Fleet Street, a KFC chicken farm and a tank running over an apple pie.’ He continues, ‘it was a matter of principle. Food is in the front line of culture; peoples’ behavior evolves over food. At this historic dinner there was great French wine, although Bush does not actually drink wine. It was strange but the wives were not invited to the dinner. I found the menu from that evening and employed a man from the Foreign Office to prepare and cook it. I wanted it to be violent, to reflect Bush’s violence in Iraq, so I decided to shoot the apple pie.’ He laughs and recounts, ‘it was difficult, I could not get a gun here, so in the end I went to America where it is easy to get a gun. I got a friend’s father who had been a spy in Vietnam to shoot the gun.’ The review in The Guardian of the consequent live shows, complete with a chef making live smells was ‘a wild stimulation of senses, feat and intellect.’ Herbert is clear throughout our conversation that narrative plays a central role in his work, although he admits that this narrative is so obscure that it is often difficult, if not impossible, to decipher it from the score. His robust defense to my implied question is that ‘these narratives are implicit, embedded in the sounds. It is the maker who makes them more powerful. There is all this locked-in potential in sound. That is about what my work is about – it is the artist’s responsibility to make connections, no matter how absurd they are and where they lead us to.’ He tells me that place also affects sound. ‘We went and recorded singers on landfill sites to hear if they sounded different. The vocals we recorded there did have a more melancholy qual-

ity.’ It is a fundamental part of Matthew’s music – finding the music in unusual events and situations and taking the art into unexpected places (like Phillips). He concedes that this is both a challenge and difficult, ‘but that is what music is about. It is what traditional music by composers like Beethoven and Mahler has. It is about tension and release.That is what it is about – tension and release.’ MATTHEW GREW uP in the midst of an artistic family. ‘My grandfather was a watercolor artist in Wales. My mother and father were both painters and I grew up without telly.’ His father was also a BBC sound technician who encouraged his son to invest in his home studio. ‘We would dress up and do theatrical performances and make art and music.’ He read theatre at Exeter university and although he graduated, he never went into the theatre. Instead, he says, his choice of theatre allowed him to go at his own pace with music and technology. He credits as inspirational a teacher at his school who considered Reich, Xenakis and Jazz standards to be the equal of Beethoven. Matthew himself was classically trained, playing both the violin and piano from the age of four, playing first in an orchestra then his first band, a big band – ‘there were twenty-five of us.’ He recalls the problems of an accumulation of musicmakers, not everyone on time, not everyone in a good mood, not everyone liking each other. He admits, ‘it was a relief when along came the 1980s and with it the democraticasation of technology, which quickly turned the band into the solitary geek.’ You get the feeling that Herbert is relieved that he ‘no longer has to be a fascist to the drummer to keep the beat or to the bass to keep in tune. It eliminated the friction, and stopped the failure which, ironically, I now love and adore.’ His first concert in 1995 showcased Matthew alone with a mixer and a bag of crisps. This seems the right moment to ask if John Cage and his embracing of the random accident was an influence on his music development. ‘He is very important to me. After I discovered Cage for myself, he was the father I never had. I didn’t

have the childhood, I had the reunion. I love the combination of the serious and silly. I loved his lecture from Silence of thirty-two questions. “Which is better music, a truck passing by a music school or a concrete factory?” When he got to the end of thirty-two questions he started again. Cage seduces you into taking up the challenge.’ It was not Cage, however, that Matthew credits but ‘the invention of the mixer that in a moment changed music forever.’ He explains: ‘up to the era of the sampler, music about the sea was always impressionistic, poetic; with a sampler you didn’t need to do that. You could do anything.’ It was the trajectory of composition, however, that developed in a disappointing way that Matthew defines simply as ‘once you sampled James Brown you became a consumer.’ This under-fulfillment of potential, he points out, may well be a result of the genesis of the technology. When Matthew got his first sampler, it was empty. ‘You went out and filled it with the sounds that you wanted – the waves, the train, whatever – it was like buying a tube of paint. Now it comes with four gigabytes of samples already analysed, arranged and labeled – hip hop, Berlin Electro, Italian house, Ambient, etc. It’s a bit like painting by numbers.’This, he says, has led to the fundamental collapse of music education, where it is now led by technology rather than by ideas. This is particularly true in dance music today. Electronic music should be about controlling technology, but so often isn’t. The technology is accepted unquestioningly and the results are too uniform. He himself admits he is naturally drawn to the ‘accident’ of the sampler turning the instruction book on its head. Not surprisingly for someone whose record label is called Accidental Records, ‘I like it to be imprecise. It is funny! With samplers we spend our time accumulating sounds, dogs barking, seagulls calling, while in the studio we try and keep all the ambient sounds out.’ With all this incident you would expect the results to be tough listening, but Matthew says clearly, ‘I don’t actually think that music has to be unpleasant or unlistenable to be challenging.’ Who inspires him? Matthew has an instant

response. ‘Geri Halliwell, because she is so mediocre! Her music is done for all the wrong reasons – money and vanity. While there’s work like that, there is still the reason to get off your bum. Silent Way by John Coltrane doesn’t make me work.’ He increasingly sees an artist's responsibility as having both a social conscience and an aesthetic purpose. He chose to work in sound ‘because sound is the richest medium and it is so untapped, while there has been recorded image since cave painting.’ It is clear that he thinks that the mixer has been taken into areas of facileness and fights back saying, ‘the more difficult, the more crucial it becomes. There is an incredulity which pulls one back from instant gratification.’ He fixes me with a look and asks, ‘do you know

that McDonald’s spends millions on “mouth feel” but nothing on body consequences? They are not dealing with repercussions. It is part of my responsibility as an artist to glue the consequences on to the action.’ It is in this spirit that he attacks his subject, admitting that often his preconceptions are shot out of the water. He recalls his trip to hear 25,000 chickens simultaneously hatching out of their eggs. In his mind it would be a Jurassic Park moment, the sound of the chicks pecking away, the cracking of the eggs and the emergence of the birds. When he arrived at the factory it was a different story, the only sound the fans that keep the temperature at a constant 99° for hatching, the eggs kept in plastic drawers, the chicks not visible at all. He sighs, ‘They enter into the world, and see nothing, not the sky or a plant or anything. I was thoroughly disappointed until I realized later that there was nothing romantic, charming or endearing or earthy.’ It is moments like this that Matthew credits with making him reassess his musical stance. ‘Artistically this caused me to reassess everything in sound and to re-engage with narrative to listen to the story. The story is all about accident: you are on the planet, which is an accident, you are born, you are not killed. All of these things are accidents. It became a fixation with the unknown.’ As a respected musician Matthew concedes ‘I am lucky I am overpaid as a species. But along with this privilege comes responsibility. I need to question the responsibility. I do feel a groundswell of fellow grumps, encouraging me to be surprising and keep trying things. I accept that life is a flawed and unpredictable process. I have a responsibility as an artist to continue my resistance to the corporate media and to base my decisions on resources. My work is about Sustainabalism – if there is such a word’ (He says on his web site that is trying to find a better word for sustainabilism). ‘It’s the new capitalism/communism: a society structured around the principle of what is best for the resources upon which it builds itself.’ As his work has become more concerned with politics and the environment, he has chosen to amend his own life style. He no longer

eats food with high air miles and restricts his flying to one transatlantic crossing per year to visit his family in America. It’s a vast change from a man who regularly flew once a week to his gigs and meetings and a serious commitment for a travelling DJ. IT IS In this exploratory mood that he is embarking on his next record, ‘One Pig.’ It is 'made out of, er..., a pig. It will take about a year to make. In the meantime I am still waiting for the pig to be born.’ He elaborates: ‘I will be present at the birth, the life and eventually the death. Afterwards the pig will be cooked – the head by Heston Blumenthal, who will have a banquet. The bones will be turned into a flute on which to play…’ I question, in light of all this anti-corporate conversation, why he decided to work with Phillips de Pury? ‘I don’t know if the composition for the sale will be an important piece of music but it is a significant challenge, to harness the technology and all of the musical presumptions, and that is why I did it. I am working on a new piece, two tracks per minute for around twenty lots. I am coming up with an atmosphere for each piece and that is not easy. The gavel itself is a noise, it is also the punctuation. It is why I sometimes do pop music for shows like the X Factor. It is my chance to be aTrojan horse within the industry.’ We end our conversation as the light starts to fade and it suddenly becomes too chilly to remain on the beach. My mind is, care of Matthew, full of the music of the day – the sea gulls and the children and the sound of footsteps on the shingle. n

rankin & damien hirst destroy Rankin co-founded Dazed & Confused magazine in 1992 and is the brains behind the Destroy project, in which he invited seventy musicians to transform their portraits by him into new artworks. His invitation to Damien Hirst to rework Rankin’s portrait of the Clash’s Joe strummer elicited the following conversation. it was held shortly before the week-long celebration of the project, culminating in an auction of selected works. the proceeds of the auction will be given in aid of the charity Youth music, which provides support for young peoples’ music projects and activities.

on a white canvas, because it terriﬁed him… that’s the thing. It’s the fear of a white canvas. So, once it’s not moving you in any sense – like you’ve been doing it for a long time and it’s very limiting, photographing, the same way painting is, you’ve just got to get it moving. To give it to somebody else activates it in some way.

Rankin We first met when I came to the Serpentine to take your photo, and you used it for your private view card. That was a long time ago. And then we did a Dazed cover with you – I took some photos and got somebody to do line drawings of them, then we made ‘dot-to-dots’, so you could ‘create your own Damien.’ After that, we’ve just known each other socially. Damien HiRst I get the feeling that I always arrived at parties when you were too far gone, and you always arrived when I was too far gone. You cleaned up your act way before me. I was still running up to the 14th floor and setting fire to myself, and jumping into the pool, over and over. I met Joe Strummer through Antony Genn (The Hours). Ant said to me, ‘Oh, I’ve got this mate and I thought you could maybe do a few snaps of him?’ It’s totally casual, and he walked in and I’m like, ‘That’s Joe Strummer!’ Ant’s like that – he knows absolutely everyone, and he was in Joe’s band at the time. Joe threw him out, though. In fact, I told Joe to sling him out, because of the heroin.

R Do you feel with your paintings that when you produce them, they have a life of their own? DH I started when generations before me were of that idea – if you paint, and you put your paintings in a corner and wait to be discovered, then it doesn’t matter if you’re not discovered because someone will look after your paintings if you’re lucky, and then you’ll get discovered after you’re dead. When I got on the scene, I was just like, ‘F**k that.’ I just thought, ‘My work doesn’t work without an audience, I’ve got to get an audience.’ And you look at a gallery… all it is, it’s a building with white paint and they’re taking 50 per cent. The thing is, I want kids to think I’m cool. And that’s why you’ve got to step over the boundaries. You’re in a position where it’s a relay race and at some point you have to hand it over. I’ve met artists and I don’t think they’re cool. Joe Strummer was a great guy who I met, who was much more of a hero in real life. You don’t meet many people like that.

R Joe was very far gone at that time, but always lovely. You then did the stuff with Ant and his band The Hours, didn’t you? DH Oh, well I did that with him and Martin after Joe died. I think I felt guilty because I’d told Joe to throw him out the band. R Have you done well out of The Hours? DH No, I’ve lost money on that. But I’ve enjoyed it. I’ve always had an interest in the music biz. I got all my interest in art from album covers when I was a kid. All the Pink Floyd ones... I was painting album covers on mates’ jackets when we were at school. I loved The Beatles – Peter Blake and Sgt Pepper, and all that, Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground. I was really depressed when it all went down in size from 12-inches…

R What did you think when you started work on the portrait of Joe for this project, what went though your mind? DH I did a couple, the first one I did was horrible, and scary. Just death and horror… I had to chuck it away. But I was doing some painting at the time, so I thought I’d just paint on it. I didn’t know what I was going to do when I said yes to Rankin. Then I thought, well it’s going to be his picture of Joe, and it will be my painting… which is really difficult to put together without it looking like collage. But I tried to keep it about him as a person. I kept looking at the thing on the hand, where it said ‘Joe.’ Because I did that in the corner. That was his signature. I’ve got reams of paper by him, just him writing poetry. I found a thing the other day I had to chuck out, both of us were out of our minds. But we did a lot of paintings and drawings, and I’ve got artworks by him. Collages and stuff. He made one, I think, during his last Christmas, he did this boat floating round all these islands with campfires on them…

R When you’re asked to do collaborations, what’s your approach? Like with me asking you to do this Joe Strummer thing? DH I like collaborations. I like blurring the boundaries. Crossing over boundaries, falling over them. You have to invent the future. R You can’t follow the rules, you can’t do it the way everyone does it. I get criticised by Bailey – he says, ‘Everyone always says that Rankin started a magazine,’ and Bailey started a magazine as well, but everyone’s forgotten. So, he’s pissed off about it. But let’s get back to this thing about the musicians – what for me is interesting was I got to a point where I was taking photos, and I was thinking, ‘Shit, these photos are good, but I feel like I need to see what someone else can do with them.’ That’s why I thought I’d do ‘Destroy,’ to give people photographs and let them say something with them, and give them back their power. DH With all art, you have to get something moving between you and it. Max Beckmann used to paint his canvas black because he couldn’t paint

R What kind of stuff did you get up to when you were together? DH When he came to my house, the tunes would change, he’d bang the Colombian music on, then blow up little kids’ balloons and sellotape them on to all the lights. Then he’d put blankets up and make a den for the kids… I had two dogs I kept outside, and he’d always get them back in the house. I’d always then go for a walk with him, and he’d take my white cat, a pony and the dogs, like it was the f**king Incredible Adventure or something. 60

«I suppose the whole thIng Is about beIng Immortal, really, Isn’t It? I mean, we’re goIng to lIve forever, aren’t we, rankIn?»

R I was thinking about Joe as an artist earlier, it’s interesting because he was very aware of his image, of how he was visually perceived on stage and in the media, but was also always talked of in terms of being very real, and never ‘selling out.’ DH I think Joe taught me the most fundamental things, like who you are and what you represent are equally important. So, I’m aware that I represent something to people and it’s very fragile – as an individual, you can do what you f**king want, but selling out is something that affects what you represent, so you’ve got to be really careful that you don’t. But you know, everybody sells out…

want people to look at the photographs, because that gives them a life of their own. That’s why I do so much to promote it. And what comes with that, whether I like it or not, is an invasion of who you are. Everybody wants to know where you come from, and all that sort of stuff. DH You’ve got to be really careful. I mean, artists have this thing where money’s ‘bad,’ but you’re in a brilliant position. I think it’s an amazing achievement, there’s not a photographer in the world who could do this. There’s nobody who could ﬁll a space like this. Apart from when you’re 90 years old, and it’s a retrospective with lots of white space around it. But I still don’t know what this is, or where it leads to…

R Do you really think so? DH I don’t know, money’s very complicated and I’ve said this before, but it might be more important than love... and I think it’s dangerous. You know, I’ve given art to people, and 90 per cent of the people I give it to then sell it.

R But I don’t know, either! Do you know where things are going to lead every time? DH I’m talking to the Tate about doing shows and they’re hindering me and pulling me back, then at the end of it, they ask for £20,000 to help install this piece or other! It’s like you’ve always got to give, give, give – and then their bookshops are full of people and the viewing figures go through the roof. You just think, Victorians probably invented museums, and the idea’s not really been revamped. Then you think – why don’t I just get my own? I remember when I did Freeze when I was a student, it took me ages – I got a space, painted it white, put all the work up, invited people, bought the wine, did the card, made a little catalogue, sent it all out… I did the whole thing and then I thought afterwards, ‘Oh well, that means now, because it worked and everyone came, if I wanted to do a proper exhibition, I could do it.’ It took me about a year to figure out that I’d already done it. I think you’re definitely in that position, where you can create something more permanent... I once did a spot painting with a million spots on it, I worked it out as half a millimetre spots – you print it up in grey first on white, then you just dip in this single hair and cover the dots… they’re a bit smaller in the grey, so you didn’t have to do any measuring. When I worked out that it was like 40 feet by 20 feet, and that it would take 20 years to make it, I just went, f**k!

R I get calls about the painting you gave me every year, telling me what it’s worth and asking do I want to sell it? DH People follow me around, getting to the people I’ve given stuff to. I had an accountant once who I gave a painting to, he phoned me up and said, ‘I’ve sold the painting, and I want to take you out for dinner.’ F**king unbelievable, he sold it for like a hundred grand. I gave him a grand in cash, and said he’d been so great in sorting me out that I gave him a little spot painting as well. He sold it for a hundred grand, then wanted to buy me dinner. Unbelievable. It’s mad. Frank, my business manager, says, ‘You might not have noticed this Damien, but when people say to you, just give me a painting, it’s got to be worth ten times the money. Give them a painting worth less than the money, and they’ll be very disappointed.’ But that is money, isn’t it? Whereas in life generosity’s something very good, when it comes to money it’s something that’s not always very good. R Do you think that you’ve changed now, you’re generous as a person, but you’re not going to be generous with the work? DH I think you just try and learn, that’s the most important thing. Recently, I’ve changed. I always thought museums were for dead artists, but you’re at the age now when you need a museum… and this is temporary, but it’s still a museum. Galleries are old-fashioned, aren’t they? I love books because I love the way that books, even today, even with the computer, they still stand up. It’s very personal, it’s very intimate… you really get inside someone’s head. That won’t die, but gallery systems… I always used to feel that in the record business, the people who have the most control are those who are the furthest away from creativity. That always f**ks it up. But in the art world, it’s great! Jay will come to my studio and go, ‘What are you working on?’ and I’ll say, ‘I’m doing this piece with a dog shit stuck to a telephone,’ and he’ll go, ‘Really?!’ And he’s not sure! [Laughs] But in the music business, they’ll just tell you, ‘No you’re not, mate.’

R Don’t you still want to do it? DH I printed it up, I started it… I got like four spots done! And that was when I ﬁnished doing the spot paintings. I thought, I’m not f**king doing it, and I just went mental. Because there is always a billion spots, or a trillion. You see, it starts to eat into your lifetime, that’s the thing. You realise you’re mortal. I suppose the whole thing is about being immortal, really, isn’t it? I mean, we’re going to live forever, aren’t we, Rankin? n This interview is abridged from the Destroy / Rankin book, available at Phillips de Pury, November 9 – 21 or at youthmusic.org.uk/rankin.

Martin Kippenberger’s Untitled (self portrait, Chelsea Hotel), 1990, is a fine example of one of his hotel drawings, of which he made hundreds during his short career. it is often said that he fitted several lifetimes of artistic endeavour into one short life. the hotel works are more personal in some ways than his paintings and sculptures – reflecting the itinerant quality of his life. the subject matter in this one is especially so: a self-portrait alongside a series of the hotel drawings together, one is aware of the wide variety of styles employed, from the collage aesthetic of Dadaism to the caricatures of Daumier. this drawing also has elements of pop art, with the repetition of the guitars recalling the repetition in works by andy Warhol, in particular his cow wallpaper. During the 1980s, although constantly returning to germany, Kippenberger travelled widely in europe – France, spain, greece – as well as north and south america. in 1987 he immersed himself in Kreuzberg, West berlin, where he, along with gisela Capitain, opened the now legendary büro Kippenberger, modelled on andy Warhol’s Factory. He also managed and programmed the legendary avant-garde punk club sO36, where he frequently performed as a member of the band Luxus. the Hotel Chelsea referred to on the letterhead was owned by the philosopher and politician Dr Werner peters, who had a keen interest in art, that led to him to encourage Kippenberger to redesign parts of the hotel. perhaps it was for this reason that he stayed in the Chelsea longer than almost anywhere else, making this an especially poignant piece. n

Picasso was central to Kippenberger’s way of thinking. an artist who could turn his hand to painting, sculpture, graphics and ceramics and loved guitars too. Bottle of Vieux Marc, Glass, Guitar and Newspaper (1913).

Andy Warhol loved repetition, often making series of portraits in various colour combinations. His iconic cow wallpaper illustrates Warhol’s love of now fashionable clashing colours too.

Richard Prince’s idea of integrating his personal cancelled cheques in a series of paintings, took the idea of using stationery to its conceptual limit. Untitled (check painting) #5 (2004).

BARCELONA

It is clear from the contents of this MUSIC issue that John Cage continues to influence both musicians and artists. If Duchamp has been considered the key figure for the beginning to middle of the twentieth century, it is becoming more apparent that Cage has become the paradigm for the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Through his dialogues with artists such as Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol, younger artists have become aware of him. It is hard to imagine a Martin Creed or Matthew Herbert without his reference. This exhibition at MACBA, The Anarchy of Silence: John Cage and Experimental Art (October 23, 2009 – January 10, 2010), covers Cage’s entire career and includes sound recordings, music and documentary materials, to give an idea of the extraordinary scope and influence of his work.

Art Basel Miami Beach (December 3 – 6 2009) warms up the winter months. Over 250 galleries from around the world gather at this year’s show, where thousands of artworks from the twentieth and twenty-ﬁrst centuries sit alongside performance art, ﬁlm, parties and concerts. While you’re there, make sure you see Guillermo Kuitca: Everything, Paintings and Works on Paper, 1980-2008, the retrospective of this versatile artist at the Miami Art Museum, which promises to be an exciting show. It follows the development of the Argentinian artist’s work, from the early paintings to abstract maps and architectural plans, such as the pictured opera house, abstracted into bold red. (Continues until January 17, 2010).

NEW YORK

Tim Burton, the mastermind behind iconic ﬁlms such as Edward Scissorhands (1990) and The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), has a major retrospective this autumn at MoMA (November 22, 2009 – April 26, 2010). The show includes work from throughout his life, with childhood drawings and never before seen puppets, storyboards and paintings, such as the strange creature pictured. In conjunction with the exhibition, MoMA is screening each of Burton’s ﬁlms, so you can see in motion his gangly-limbed characters from across the years.

The present lot is a diptych from The Babel Series. These works are less widely exhibited by the artist and focus on the relationship between two of the figures exhibited in the larger installation of seven looping DVDs originally exhibited in 1999 at the 6th Istanbul Biennale. ‘For me the most provocative tale dealing with the original of multiple languages is the biblical story of the Tower of Babel, in which God punishes man for his vanity and grandiosity by violently denying him the ability to understand the languages of others. When I made the “Babel Series” installation in 1999, this violent failure, the failure of language to function as the glue coalescing different cultures (which is still the case now as much as it was then) became a compelling point of reference for me. Many key members of the twentieth-century avant-garde were preoccupied with the possibility

of a universal language that might communicate above and beyond the specificity of linguistic and natural references...With the “Babel Series” I wanted to make a work that would pay homage to such endeavors while at the same time recognizing the extent to which any notion of pure language has become increasingly hard to maintain. In this work [short loops] appropriated and isolated from popular music videos are played back simultaneously [No, No, No and Yeh, Yeh, Yeh in the present lot]. The most primal units of language are regurgitated by the ambassadors of MTV, this being a medium which has succeeded - beyond the wildest dreams of the twentieth-century avant-garde - in forging a language that is accessible to people from vastly different contexts.’ (Candice Breitz taken from an interview with Rosanne Alstatt, Kunst-Bulletin, June 2001) 73

© Bryan Ferry The location for the Siren shoot was near Anglesey on the coast of Wales. Although the original intention was to have a stormy sea in the background, the day of shooting ended up being the hottest day in living memory, and therefore the sea was extremely calm. This gave the resulting picture a mythological aspect, reminiscent of Ancient Greece. Antony Price designed the Siren costume, the model was Jerry Hall and the photographer was Graham Hughes. The Art Director was Bryan Ferry.

© Bryan Ferry Following in the Roxy tradition of using iconic female images on their album covers, it was decided this time to depict a Celtic warrior queen, gazing towards Avalon. She is wearing medieval armour and holding a Merlin (a small bird of prey commonly used by lady falconers). The photograph was taken at dawn on the west coast of Ireland in 1982. The costume and styling was supervised by Antony Price, the photographer was Neil Kirk, and the Art Director was Bryan Ferry.

Between them, they have worked with three of the greatest British poets and front men of all time: Joe Strummer, Shaun Ryder and Jarvis Cocker. They have individually toured with Elastica and Black Grape, separately produced sessions for UNKLE and Grace Jones and worked alongside the likes of Brian Eno. Although the friendship between Antony Genn and Damien Hirst began over ten years ago, the music business collaboration of Hirst with the two men who would become The Hours, happened indirectly as a result of a great loss to popular music culture: the untimely death of Joe Strummer in 2002. Ant Genn and Martin Slattery had both collaborated with Strummer in the Mescaleros and on his solo albums. Hirst was a long time friend of Strummer during the glory years of the early 90s. Two years after Joe Strummer died of a heart attack in 2002, Genn and Slattery formed a band, calling themselves The Hours. Hirst put the band in the studio, paid for their debut album recording and got them ready for their first record deal. He also created all the artwork for the album and collateral materials. 91

This guitar belonged to a resident musician, Orlando, at the Taj Holiday Village, Goa. During George Harrison’s stay at the hotel with his wife, Olivia, he became friendly with the musicians and one night, an informal jam session took place with Harrison playing this guitar and singing various renditions of Beatles songs as well as a newly-composed Harrison song. During the session, Harrison signed this guitar for Orlando.

Deviating from his father’s preferred genre, Dimebag co-founded the seminal heavy metal band Pantera in 1981, and later, Damageplan. It was during a December 2004 performance with this latter group that Dimebag was murdered on-stage by a paranoid fan. Three of those who came to the musician’s aide were also shot and killed. This work is one of several paintings Sanford has created depicting violence in the lives of musicians; other subjects have included the infamous 2004 Vibe Awards stabbing incident and a knife altercation involving 50 Cent while at the studio.

This painting was executed by Kurt Cobain whilst at Aberdeen High School, Washington. Cobain took a deep interest in art during school and often drew bizarre human forms. Later on, his work was often influenced by his interest in medicine, his dreams, and his bizarre, often macabre sense of humour. Unable to afford art materials, Cobain would improvise with materials, painting on board games and album sleeves, and painting with an array of substances, including his own bodily fluids. His paintings appeared on the LP covers for the Nirvana albums In Utero and Incesticide and he also conceived the idea for the infamous image of a baby swimming after a dollar bill used on the Nevermind album.

The case is now well known as 'Black Daliah' in criminal and film history. The subsequent trial was ruled by the media, a phenonemon not unlike the Michael Jackson trial decades later. Manson has a deep, personal understanding of such procedures being a person of common interest himself; the topic will always find its place in his performance as well as fine art. 119

Jonas Mekas carefully composes his work at a three-way intersection, in which music, film and photography meet. As a result, the work deftly references all three disciplines without compromising the integrity and idiosyncrasy of each one, allowing for a simultaneous occupation that is harmonious and cohesive. By taking advantage of the rapidly evolving technological devices within each field, Mekas addresses the likewise-evolving cultural permutations on both sides of the Atlantic. His work is consistently characterized by a balance of documentarian precision and personal narrative, whether covering construction workers peddling remnants of the Berlin Wall, or such cultural titans as John Lennon, Andy Warhol and Elvis. The latter example, presented in this lot, is comprised of 40 film stills that capture the energy, charisma, and swagger of the famed Pop icon as much as the sensitivity and avant-garde style of the renowned artist.

Mekas has represented his home country of Lithuania in the Venice Biennale, and his work has been exhibited at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, New York; Hirshorn Museum, Washington D.C.; Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne, Australia; and the American Museum of Moving Image. Since 2006, he has been honoured by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, the Library of Congress National Film Registry, the Austrian Decoration of Honor for Science and Art, and the Baltic Cultural Achievement Award.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS BUYInG aT aUCTIOn The following pages are designed to offer you information on how to buy at auction at Phillips de Pury & Company. Our staff will be happy to assist you. COnDITIOnS OF SalE The Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty which appear later in this catalogue govern the auction. Bidders are strongly encouraged to read them as they outline the legal relationship among Phillips, the seller and the buyer and describe the terms upon which property is bought at auction. Please be advised that Phillips de Pury & Company generally acts as agent for the seller. BUYER’S PREmIUm Phillips de Pury & Company charges the successful bidder a commission, or buyer’s premium, on the hammer price of each lot sold. The buyer’s premium is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price at the following rates: 25% of the hammer price up to and including £25,000, 20% of the portion of the hammer price above £25,000 up to and including £500,000 and 12% of the portion of the hammer price above £500,000. VaT Value added tax (VAT) may be payable on the hammer price and/or the buyer’s premium. The buyer’s premium may attract a charge in lieu of VAT. Please read carefully the “VAT AND OTHER TAX INFORMATION FOR BUYERS” in this catalogue.

1 PRIOR TO aUCTIOn Catalogue Subscriptions If you would like to purchase a catalogue for this auction or any other Phillips de Pury & Company sale, please contact us at +44 20 7318 4010 or +1 212 940 1240. Pre-Sale Estimates Pre-Sale estimates are intended as a guide for prospective buyers. Any bid within the high and low estimate range should, in our opinion, offer a chance of success. However, many lots achieve prices below or above the pre-sale estimates. Where “Estimate on Request” appears, please contact the specialist department for further information. It is advisable to contact us closer to the time of the auction as estimates can be subject to revision. Pre-sale estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or VAT. Pre-Sale Estimates in US Dollars and Euros Although the sale is conducted in pounds sterling, the presale estimates in the auction catalogues may also be printed in US dollars and/or euros. Since the exchange rate is that at the time of catalogue production and not at the date of auction, you should treat estimates in US dollars or euros as a guide only. Catalogue Entries Phillips may print in the catalogue entry the history of ownership of a work of art, as well as the exhibition history of the property and references to the work in art publications. While we are careful in the cataloguing process, provenance, exhibition and literature references may not be exhaustive and in some cases we may intentionally refrain from disclosing the identity of previous owners. Please note that all dimensions of the property set forth in the catalogue entry are approximate. Condition of lots Our catalogues include references to condition only in the descriptions of multiple works (e.g., prints). Such references, though, do not amount to a full description of condition. The absence of reference to the condition of a lot in the catalogue entry does not imply that the lot is free from faults or imperfections. Solely as a convenience to clients, Phillips de Pury & Company may provide condition reports. In preparing such reports, our specialists assess the condition in a manner appropriate to the estimated value of the property and the nature of the auction in which it is included. While condition reports are prepared honestly and carefully, our staff are not professional restorers or trained conservators. We therefore encourage all prospective buyers to inspect the property at the pre-sale exhibitions and recommend, particularly in the case of any lot of signiﬁcant value, that you retain your own restorer or professional advisor to report to you on the property’s condition prior to bidding. Any prospective buyer of photographs or prints should always request a condition report because all such property is sold unframed, unless otherwise indicated in the condition report. If a lot is sold framed, Phillips de Pury & Company accepts no liability for the condition of the frame. If we sell any lot unframed, we will be pleased to refer the purchaser to a professional framer.

Pre-auction Viewing Pre-auction viewings are open to the public and free of charge. Our specialists are available to give advice and condition reports at viewings or by appointment. Electrical and mechanical lots All lots with electrical and/or mechanical features are sold on the basis of their decorative value only and should not be assumed to be operative. It is essential that, prior to any intended use, the electrical system is verified and approved by a qualified electrician. Symbol Key The following key explains the symbols you may see inside this catalogue. O Guaranteed Property The seller of lots with this symbol has been guaranteed a minimum price. The guarantee may be provided by Phillips de Pury & Company, by a third party or jointly by us and a third party. Phillips de Pury & Company and third parties providing or participating in a guarantee may benefit financially if a guaranteed lot is sold successfully and may incur a loss if the sale is not successful.

∆ Property in Which Phillips de Pury & Company Has an Ownership Interest Lots with this symbol indicate that Phillips de Pury & Company owns the lot in whole or in part or has an economic interest in the lot equivalent to an ownership interest.

•

no Reserve Unless indicated by a , all lots in this catalogue are offered subject to a reserve. A reserve is the conﬁdential value established between Phillips de Pury & Company and the seller and below which a lot may not be sold. The reserve for each lot is generally set at a percentage of the low estimate and will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate.

•

♠ Property Subject to the artist’s Resale Right Lots marked with ♠ are subject to the Artist’s Resale Right calculated as a percentage of the hammer price and payable as part of the purchase price as follows: Portion of the Hammer Price (in EUR) From 1,000 to 50,000 From 50,001 to 200,000 From 200,001 to 350,000 From 350,001 to 500,000 Exceeding 500,000

Royalty Rate 4% 3% 1% 0.5% 0.25%

The Artist’s Resale Right applies where the hammer price is EUR 1,000 or more, subject to a maximum royalty per lot of EUR 12,500. Calculation of the Artist’s Resale Right will be based on the pounds sterling/euro reference exchange rate quoted on the date of the sale by the European Central Bank.

†, § , ‡ , or Ω Property Subject to VaT Please refer to the section entitled “VAT AND OTHER TAX INFORMATION FOR BUYERS” in this catalogue for additional information. 2 BIDDInG In THE SalE Bidding at auction Bids may be executed during the auction in person by paddle or by telephone or prior to the sale in writing by absentee bid. Proof of identity in the form of government issued identiﬁcation will be required, as will an original signature. We may also require that you furnish us with a bank reference. Bidding in Person To bid in person, you will need to register for and collect a paddle before the auction begins. New clients are encouraged to register at least 48 hours in advance of a sale to allow sufﬁcient time for us to process your information. All lots sold will be invoiced to the name and address to which the paddle has been registered and invoices cannot be transferred to other names and addresses. Please do not misplace your paddle. In the event you lose it, inform a Phillips de Pury & Company staff member immediately. At the end of the auction, please return your paddle to the registration desk. Bidding by Telephone If you cannot attend the auction, you may bid live on the telephone with one of our multi-lingual staff members.

By bidding on the telephone, you consent to the recording of your conversation. We suggest that you leave a maximum bid, excluding the buyer’s premium and VAT, which we can execute on your behalf in the event we are unable to reach you by telephone.

by telephone, Phillips de Pury & Company will be happy to execute written bids on your behalf. A bidding form can be found at the back of this catalogue. This service is free and conﬁdential. Bids must be placed in the currency of the sale. Our staff will attempt to execute an absentee bid at the lowest possible price taking into account the reserve and other bidders. Always indicate a maximum bid, excluding the buyer’s premium and VAT. Unlimited bids will not be accepted. Any absentee bid must be received at least 24 hours in advance of the sale. In the event of identical bids, the earliest bid received will take precedence. Employee Bidding Employees of Phillips de Pury & Company and our afﬁliated companies, including the auctioneer, may bid at the auction by placing absentee bids so long as they do not know the reserve when submitting their absentee bids and otherwise comply with our employee bidding procedures. Bidding Increments Bidding generally opens below the low estimate and advances in increments of up to 10%, subject to the auctioneer’s discretion. Absentee bids that do not conform to the increments set below may be lowered to the next bidding increment.

All prospective bidders should read them carefully. They may be amended by saleroom addendum or auctioneer’s announcement. Interested Parties announcement In situations where a person allowed to bid on a lot has a direct or indirect interest in such lot, such as the beneﬁciary or executor of an estate selling the lot, a joint owner of the lot or a party providing or participating in a guarantee on the lot, Phillips de Pury & Company will make an announcement in the saleroom that interested parties may bid on the lot. Consecutive and Responsive Bidding The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may further bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve by placing consecutive bids or bids in response to other bidders. 4 aFTER THE aUCTIOn Payment Buyers are required to pay for purchases immediately following the auction unless other arrangements are agreed with Phillips de Pury & Company in writing in advance of the sale. Payments must be made in pounds sterling either by cash, cheque drawn on a UK bank or wire transfer, as noted in Paragraph 6 of the Conditions of Sale.

Promptly after the auction, we will transfer all lots to a third party storage facility and will so advise all buyers.

Transport and Shipping As a free service for buyers, Phillips de Pury & Company will wrap purchased lots for hand carry only. We do not provide packing, handling or shipping services directly. However, we will coordinate with shipping agents instructed by you in order to facilitate the packing, handling and shipping of property purchased at Phillips de Pury & Company. Please refer to Paragraph 7 of the Conditions of Sale for more information.

Department on the day of the sale, and the property will be re-invoiced showing no VAT on the hammer price. 4 PROPERTY SOlD WITH a ‡ OR Ω SYmBOl These lots have been imported from outside the EU to be sold at auction under temporary importation. Property subject to temporary importation will be offered under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme and will be subject to import VAT of either 5% or 15% on the hammer price and an amount in lieu of VAT at 15% on the buyer’s premium. Anyone who wishes to buy outside the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme should notify the Client Accounting Department before the sale.

Export and Import licenses Before bidding for any property, prospective bidders are advised to make independent enquiries as to whether a license is required to export the property from the United Kingdom or to import it into another country. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to comply with all import and export laws and to obtain any necessary licenses or permits. The denial of any required license or permit or any delay in obtaining such documentation will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment for the lot.

5 EXPORTS FROm THE EUROPEan UnIOn The following types of VAT may be cancelled or refunded by Phillips de Pury & Company on exports made within three months of the sale date if strict conditions are met:

Endangered Species Items made of or incorporating plant or animal material, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, rhinoceros horn or tortoiseshell, irrespective of age, percentage or value, may require a license or certificate prior to exportation and additional licenses or certificates upon importation to any country outside the European Union (EU). Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. We suggest that prospective bidders check with their own government regarding wildlife import requirements prior to placing a bid. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any necessary export or import licenses or certificates as well as any other required documentation. The denial of any required license or certificate or any delay in obtaining such documentation will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment for the lot.

VaT anD OTHER TaX InFORmaTIOn FOR BUYERS The following paragraphs provide general information to buyers on the VAT and certain other potential tax implications of purchasing property at Phillips de Pury & Company. This information is not intended to be complete. In all cases, the relevant tax legislation takes precedence, and the VAT rates in effect on the day of the auction will be the rates charged. It should be noted that, for VAT purposes only, Phillips de Pury & Company is not usually treated as agent and most property is sold as if it is the property of Phillips de Pury & Company. In the following paragraphs, reference to VAT symbols shall mean those symbols located beside the lot number or the pre-sale estimates in the catalogue (or amending saleroom addendum). 1 PROPERTY WITH nO VaT SYmBOl Where there is no VAT symbol, Phillips de Pury & Company is able to use the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme, and VAT will not normally be charged on the hammer price. Phillips de Pury & Company must bear VAT on the buyer’s premium. Therefore, we will charge an amount in lieu of VAT at 15% on the buyer’s premium. This amount will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identiﬁed. 2 PROPERTY WITH a † SYmBOl These lots will be sold under the normal UK VAT rules, and VAT will be charged at 15% on both the hammer price and buyer’s premium. 3 PROPERTY WITH a § SYmBOl Lots sold to buyers whose registered address is in the EU will be assumed to be remaining in the EU. The property will be invoiced as if it had no VAT symbol. However, if an EU buyer advises us that the property is to be exported from the EU, Phillips de Pury & Company will re-invoice the property under the normal VAT rules. Lots sold to buyers whose address is outside the EU will be assumed to be exported from the EU. The property will be invoiced under the normal VAT rules. Although the hammer price will be subject to VAT, the VAT will be canceled or refunded upon export. The buyer’s premium will always bear VAT. However, buyers who are not intending to export their property from the EU should notify our Client Accounting

‡ = 5%

Ω = 15%

• The amount in lieu of VAT charged on the buyer’s premium for property sold under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme (i.e., without a VAT symbol). • The VAT on the hammer price for property sold under the normal VAT rules (i.e., with a † or a § symbol). • The import VAT charged on the hammer price and buyer’s premium for property sold under temporary importation (i.e., with a ‡ or a Ω symbol). In each of the above examples, where the appropriate conditions are satisﬁed, no VAT will be charged if, at or before the time of invoicing, the buyer instructs Phillips de Pury & Company to export the property from the EU. If such instruction is received after payment, a refund of the VAT amount will be made.

Where the buyer carries purchases from the EU personally or uses the services of a third party, Phillips de Pury & Company will charge the VAT amount due as a deposit and refund it if the lot has been exported within three months of the date of sale and the following conditions are met: • For lots sold under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme or the normal VAT rules, Phillips de Pury & Company is provided with appropriate documentary proof of export from the EU. Buyers carrying their own property should obtain handcarry papers from the Shipping Department to facilitate this process; or • For lots sold under temporary importation, Phillips de Pury & Company is provided with a copy of the correct paperwork duly completed and stamped by HM Revenue and Customs which shows the property has been exported from the EU via the UK. It is essential for shippers acting on behalf of buyers to collect copies of original import papers from our Shipping Department. HM Revenue and Customs insist that the correct customs procedures are followed and Phillips de Pury & Company will not be able to issue any refunds where the export documents do not exactly comply with governmental regulations. Property subject to temporary importation must be transferred to another customs procedure immediately if any restoration or repair work is to be carried out. Buyers carrying their own property must obtain hand-carry papers from the Shipping Department, for which a charge of £20 will be made. The VAT refund will be processed once the appropriate paperwork has been returned to Phillips de Pury & Company. Phillips de Pury & Company is not able to cancel or refund any VAT charged on sales made to UK or EU private residents unless the lot is subject to temporary importation and the property is exported from the EU within three months of the sale date. Any refund of VAT is subject to a minimum of £50 per shipment and a processing charge of £20. Buyers intending to export, repair, restore or alter lots under temporary importation should notify the Shipping Department before collection. Failure to do so may result in the import VAT becoming payable immediately and Phillips de Pury & Company being unable to refund the VAT charged on deposit. 6 VaT REFUnDS FROm Hm REVEnUE anD CUSTOmS Where VAT charged cannot be cancelled or refunded by Phillips de Pury & Company, it may be possible to seek repayment from HM Revenue and Customs. Repayments in this manner are limited to businesses located outside the

COnDITIOnS OF SalE The Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty set forth below govern the relationship between bidders and buyers, on the one hand, and Phillips de Pury & Company and sellers, on the other hand. All prospective buyers should read these Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty carefully before bidding. 1 InTRODUCTIOn Each lot in this catalogue is offered for sale and sold subject to: (a) the Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty; (b) additional notices and terms printed in other places in this catalogue, including the Guide for Prospective Buyers, and (c) supplements to this catalogue or other written material posted by Phillips de Pury & Company in the saleroom, in each case as amended by any addendum or announcement by the auctioneer prior to the auction. By bidding at the auction, whether in person, through an agent, by written bid, by telephone bid or other means, bidders and buyers agree to be bound by these Conditions of Sale, as so changed or supplemented, and Authorship Warranty. These Conditions of Sale, as so changed or supplemented, and Authorship Warranty contain all the terms on which Phillips de Pury & Company and the seller contract with the buyer. 2 PHIllIPS de PURY & COmPanY aS aGEnT Phillips de Pury & Company acts as an agent for the seller, unless otherwise indicated in this catalogue or at the time of auction. On occasion, Phillips de Pury & Company may own a lot, in which case we will act in a principal capacity as a consignor, or may have a legal, beneficial or financial interest in a lot as a secured creditor or otherwise. 3 CaTalOGUE DESCRIPTIOnS anD COnDITIOn OF PROPERTY Lots are sold subject to the Authorship Warranty, as described in the catalogue (unless such description is changed or supplemented, as provided in Paragraph 1 above) and in the condition that they are in at the time of the sale on the following basis. (a) The knowledge of Phillips de Pury & Company in relation to each lot is partially dependent on information provided to us by the seller, and Phillips de Pury & Company is not able to and does not carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers acknowledge this fact and accept responsibility for carrying out inspections and investigations to satisfy themselves as to the lots in which they may be interested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we shall exercise such reasonable care when making express statements in catalogue descriptions or condition reports as is consistent with our role as auctioneer of lots in this sale and in light of (i) the information provided to us by the seller, (ii) scholarship and technical knowledge and (iii) the generally accepted opinions of relevant experts, in each case at the time any such express statement is made. (b) Each lot offered for sale at Phillips de Pury & Company is available for inspection by prospective buyers prior to the auction. Phillips de Pury & Company accepts bids on lots on the basis that bidders (and independent experts on their behalf, to the extent appropriate given the nature and value of the lot and the bidder’s own expertise) have fully inspected the lot prior to bidding and have satisfied themselves as to both the condition of the lot and the accuracy of its description.

(c) Prospective buyers acknowledge that many lots are of an age and type which means that they are not in perfect condition. As a courtesy to clients, Phillips de Pury & Company may prepare and provide condition reports to assist prospective buyers when they are inspecting lots. Catalogue descriptions and condition reports may make reference to particular imperfections of a lot, but bidders should note that lots may have other faults not expressly referred to in the catalogue or condition report. All dimensions are approximate. Illustrations are for identiﬁcation purposes only and cannot be used as precise indications of size or to convey full information as to the actual condition of lots.

(b)The auctioneer has discretion at any time to refuse any bid, withdraw any lot, re-offer a lot for sale (including after the fall of the hammer) if he or she believes there may be error or dispute and take such other action as he or she deems reasonably appropriate.

(d) Information provided to prospective buyers in respect of any lot, including any pre-sale estimate, whether written or oral, and information in any catalogue, condition or other report, commentary or valuation, is not a representation of fact but rather a statement of opinion held by Phillips de Pury & Company. Any pre-sale estimate may not be relied on as a prediction of the selling price or value of the lot and may be revised from time to time by Phillips de Pury & Company in our absolute discretion. Neither Phillips de Pury & Company nor any of our afﬁliated companies shall be liable for any difference between the pre-sale estimates for any lot and the actual price achieved at auction or upon resale.

(d) The sale will be conducted in pounds sterling and payment is due in pounds sterling. For the beneﬁt of international clients, pre-sale estimates in the auction catalogue may be shown in US dollars and/or euros and, if so, will reﬂect approximate exchange rates. Accordingly, estimates in US dollars or euros should be treated only as a guide.

4 BIDDInG aT aUCTIOn (a) Phillips de Pury & Company has absolute discretion to refuse admission to the auction or participation in the sale. All bidders must register for a paddle prior to bidding, supplying such information and references as required by Phillips de Pury & Company. (b) As a convenience to bidders who cannot attend the auction in person, Phillips de Pury & Company may, if so instructed by the bidder, execute written absentee bids on a bidder’s behalf. Absentee bidders are required to submit bids on the “Absentee Bid Form,” a copy of which is printed in this catalogue or otherwise available from Phillips de Pury & Company. Bids must be placed in the currency of the sale. The bidder must clearly indicate the maximum amount he or she intends to bid, excluding the buyer’s premium and value added tax (VAT). The auctioneer will not accept an instruction to execute an absentee bid which does not indicate such maximum bid. Our staff will attempt to execute an absentee bid at the lowest possible price taking into account the reserve and other bidders. Any absentee bid must be received at least 24 hours in advance of the sale. In the event of identical bids, the earliest bid received will take precedence. (c) Telephone bidders are required to submit bids on the “Telephone Bid Form,” a copy of which is printed in this catalogue or otherwise available from Phillips de Pury & Company. Telephone bidding is available for lots whose low pre-sale estimate is at least £500. Phillips de Pury & Company reserves the right to require written confirmation of a successful bid from a telephone bidder by fax or otherwise immediately after such bid is accepted by the auctioneer. Telephone bids may be recorded and, by bidding on the telephone, a bidder consents to the recording of the conversation. (d) When making a bid, whether in person, by absentee bid or on the telephone, a bidder accepts personal liability to pay the purchase price, as described more fully in Paragraph 6 (a) below, plus all other applicable charges unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Phillips de Pury & Company before the commencement of the auction that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Phillips de Pury & Company and that we will only look to the principal for such payment. (e) Arranging absentee and telephone bids is a free service provided by Phillips de Pury & Company to prospective buyers. While we undertake to exercise reasonable care in undertaking such activity, we cannot accept liability for failure to execute such bids except where such failure is caused by our willful misconduct. (f) Employees of Phillips de Pury & Company and our affiliated companies, including the auctioneer, may bid at the auction by placing absentee bids so long as they do not know the reserve when submitting their absentee bids and otherwise comply with our employee bidding procedures. 5 Conduct of the auction (a) Unless otherwise indicated by the symbol • each lot is offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum selling price agreed by Phillips de Pury & Company with the seller. The reserve will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate at the time of the auction.

(c) The auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding at levels and in increments he or she considers appropriate. In order to protect the reserve on any lot, the auctioneer may place one or more bids on behalf of the seller up to the reserve without indicating he or she is doing so, either by placing consecutive bids or bids in response to other bidders.

(e) Subject to the auctioneer’s reasonable discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of the hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the seller and the buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot passes to the buyer as set forth in Paragraph 7 below. (f) If a lot is not sold, the auctioneer will announce that it has been “passed,” “withdrawn,” “returned to owner” or “boughtin.” (g) Any post-auction sale of lots offered at auction shall incorporate these Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty as if sold in the auction. 6 PURCHaSE PRICE anD PaYmEnT (a) The buyer agrees to pay us, in addition to the hammer price of the lot, the buyer’s premium, plus any applicable value added tax (VAT) and any applicable resale royalty (the “Purchase Price”). The buyer’s premium is 25% of the hammer price up to and including £25,000, 20% of the portion of the hammer price above £25,000 up to and including £500,000 and 12% of the portion of the hammer price above £500,000. (b) VAT is payable in accordance with applicable law. All prices, fees, charges and expenses set out in these Conditions of Sale are quoted exclusive of VAT. (c) If the Artist’s Resale Right Regulations 2006 apply to the lot, the buyer agrees to pay to us an amount equal to the resale royalty provided for in those regulations and we undertake to the buyer to pay such amount to the artist’s collection agent. Lots subject to the Artist’s Resale Right are identiﬁed with the symbol ♠ next to the lot number. (d) Unless otherwise agreed, a buyer is required to pay for a purchased lot immediately following the auction regardless of any intention to obtain an export or import license or other permit for such lot. Payments must be made by the invoiced party in pounds sterling either by cash, cheque drawn on a UK bank or wire transfer, as follows: (i) Phillips de Pury & Company will accept payment in cash provided that the total amount paid in cash or cash equivalents does not exceed the local currency equivalent of US$10,000. (ii) Personal cheques and banker’s drafts are accepted if drawn on a UK bank and the buyer provides to us acceptable government issued identiﬁcation. Cheques and banker’s drafts should be made payable to “PDEPL LTD.” If payment is sent by post, please send the cheque or banker’s draft to the attention of the Client Accounting Department at Howick Place, London SW1P 1BB and ensure that the sale number is written on the cheque.

A processing fee will apply.

(f) Title in a purchased lot will not pass until Phillips de Pury & Company has received the Purchase Price for that lot in cleared funds. Phillips de Pury & Company is not obliged to release a lot to the buyer until title in the lot has passed and appropriate identification has been provided, and any earlier release does not affect the passing of title or the buyer’s unconditional obligation to pay the Purchase Price. 7 COllECTIOn OF PROPERTY (a) Phillips de Pury & Company will not release a lot to the buyer until we have received payment of its Purchase Price in full in cleared funds, the buyer has paid all outstanding amounts due to Phillips de Pury & Company or any of our affiliated companies, including any charges payable pursuant to Paragraph 8 (a) below, and the buyer has satisfied such other terms as we in our sole discretion shall require, including completing any anti-money laundering or antiterrorism financing checks. As soon as a buyer has satisfied all of the foregoing conditions, he or she should contact us at +44 (0) 207 318 4081 or +44 (0) 207 318 4082 to arrange for collection of purchased property. (b) The buyer must arrange for collection of a purchased lot within five days of the date of the auction. Promptly after the auction, we will transfer the purchased lot to a third party storage facility and will so advise the buyer. Purchased lots are at the buyer’s risk, including the responsibility for insurance, from the earlier to occur of (i) the date of collection or (ii) five days after the auction. Until risk passes, Phillips de Pury & Company will compensate the buyer for any loss or damage to a purchased lot up to a maximum of the Purchase Price paid, subject to our usual exclusions for loss or damage to property. (c) As a courtesy to clients, Phillips de Pury & Company will, without charge, wrap purchased lots for hand carry only. We do not provide packing, handling, insurance or shipping services. We will coordinate with shipping agents instructed by the buyer, whether or not recommended by Phillips de Pury & Company, in order to facilitate the packing, handling, insurance and shipping of property bought at Phillips de Pury & Company. Any such instruction is entirely at the buyer’s risk and responsibility, and we will not be liable for acts or omissions of third party packers or shippers. (d) Phillips de Pury & Company will require presentation of government issued identification prior to release of a lot to the buyer or the buyer’s authorized representative. 8 FaIlURE TO COllECT PURCHaSES (a) If the buyer pays the Purchase Price but fails to collect a purchased lot within 30 days of the auction, the buyer will incur a late collection fee of £25, storage charges of £3 per day and pro rated insurance charges of .1% of the Purchase Price per month on each uncollected lot. (b) If a purchased lot is paid for but not collected within six months of the auction, the buyer authorizes Phillips de Pury & Company, upon notice, to arrange a resale of the item by auction or private sale, with estimates and a reserve set at Phillips de Pury & Company’s reasonable discretion. The proceeds of such sale will be applied to pay for storage charges and any other outstanding costs and expenses owed by the buyer to Phillips de Pury & Company or our affiliated companies and the remainder will be forfeited unless collected by the buyer within two years of the original auction. 9 REmEDIES FOR nOn-PaYmEnT (a) Without prejudice to any rights the seller may have, if the buyer without prior agreement fails to make payment of the Purchase Price for a lot in cleared funds within five days of the auction, Phillips de Pury & Company may in our sole discretion exercise one or more of the following remedies: (i) store the lot at Phillips de Pury & Company’s premises or elsewhere at the buyer’s sole risk and expense; (ii) cancel the sale of the lot, retaining any partial payment of the Purchase Price as liquidated damages; (iii) reject future bids from the buyer or render such bids subject to payment of a deposit; (iv) charge interest at 12% per annum from the date payment became due until the date the Purchase Price is received in cleared funds; (v) subject to notification of the buyer, exercise a lien over any of the buyer’s property which is in the possession of Phillips de Pury & Company and instruct our affiliated companies to exercise a lien over any of the buyer’s property which is in their possession and, in each case, no earlier than 30 days from the date of such notice arrange the sale of such property and apply the proceeds to the amount owed to Phillips de Pury & Company or any of our affiliated companies after the deduction from sale proceeds of our standard vendor’s commission, all sale-related expenses and any applicable taxes thereon; (vi) resell the lot by auction or private sale, with estimates and a reserve set at Phillips de Pury & Company’s reasonable discretion, it being understood that in the event such resale is for less than the original hammer price and buyer’s premium for that lot, the buyer will

IN ThE FACE OF CANCER, we oFFer sUPPort It is because Myriam Ullens has been a victim of this illness that she can speak about it with such accuracy. It is because she has fought so fiercely against it that she fully understands what sufferers need. It is because she was surrounded by friends, family and support, and was able to allow herself time to rest during her treatment, that she knows how important this is to help beat cancer. Once cured, Myriam, who likes to be called Mimi, decided to create this foundation. Cancer can be attacked from all fronts: taking care of yourself ensures that you keep your self-esteem, courage and strength to fight this illness. The Mimi Foundation is an addition to the work of the medical teams. These ‘well-being’ units are being installed at the heart of cancer wards: they are completely redesigned to create a calming and warm atmosphere and encourage you to forget your distressing situation. Three services are available to patients: - Psychological support for the patient and their family - A hairdressing workshop (a choice of wigs and scarves, and help with financing these accessories) - Aesthetic care developed specifically for cancer patients All services are financed by the Mimi Foundation and so free of charge for the patient. The ambition of the Mimi Foundation is to answer all the demands of the hospitals and clinics who wish to benefit from a ‘wellbeing’ unit. The Mimi Foundation is there to provide help and support to any patients who ask. Each year, new units are opening and the number of patients is increasing.

we need your donations in order to make sure no one is left to ﬁght this terrible illness alone. Help us to offer comfort to as many people as possible. We are grateful for your commitment. we thank you.

(b) The buyer irrevocably authorizes Phillips de Pury & Company to exercise a lien over the buyer’s property which is in our possession upon notification by any of our affiliated companies that the buyer is in default of payment. Phillips de Pury & Company will notify the buyer of any such lien. The buyer also irrevocably authorizes Phillips de Pury & Company, upon notification by any of our affiliated companies that the buyer is in default of payment, to pledge the buyer’s property in our possession by actual or constructive delivery to our affiliated company as security for the payment of any outstanding amount due. Phillips de Pury & Company will notify the buyer if the buyer’s property has been delivered to an affiliated company by way of pledge. (c) If the buyer is in default of payment, the buyer irrevocably authorizes Phillips de Pury & Company to instruct any of our affiliated companies in possession of the buyer’s property to deliver the property by way of pledge as the buyer’s agent to a third party instructed by Phillips de Pury & Company to hold the property on our behalf as security for the payment of the Purchase Price and any other amount due and, no earlier than 30 days from the date of written notice to the buyer, to sell the property in such manner and for such consideration as can reasonably be obtained on a forced sale basis and to apply the proceeds to any amount owed to Phillips de Pury & Company or any of our affiliated companies after the deduction from sale proceeds of our standard vendor’s commission, all salerelated expenses and any applicable taxes thereon. 10 RESCISSIOn BY PHIllIPS de PURY & COmPanY Phillips de Pury & Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to rescind a sale without notice to the buyer if we reasonably believe that there is a material breach of the seller’s representations and warranties or the Authorship Warranty or an adverse claim is made by a third party. Upon notice of Phillips de Pury & Company’s election to rescind the sale, the buyer will promptly return the lot to Phillips de Pury & Company, and we will then refund the Purchase Price paid to us. As described more fully in Paragraph 13 below, the refund shall constitute the sole remedy and recourse of the buyer against Phillips de Pury & Company and the seller with respect to such rescinded sale. 11 EXPORT, ImPORT anD EnDanGERED SPECIES lICEnSES anD PERmITS Before bidding for any property, prospective buyers are advised to make their own enquiries as to whether a license is required to export a lot from the United Kingdom or to import it into another country. Prospective buyers are advised that some countries prohibit the import of property made of or incorporating plant or animal material, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, rhinoceros horn or tortoiseshell, irrespective of age, percentage or value. Accordingly, prior to bidding, prospective buyers considering export of purchased lots should familiarize themselves with relevant export and import regulations of the countries concerned. It is solely the buyer’s responsibility to comply with these laws and to obtain any necessary export, import and endangered species licenses or permits. Failure to obtain a license or permit or delay in so doing will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment for the lot. 12 DaTa PROTECTIOn (a) In connection with the management and operation of our business and the marketing and supply of auction related services, or as required by law, we may ask clients to provide personal information about themselves or obtain information about clients from third parties (e.g., credit information).

Phillips de Pury & Company warrants the authorship of property in this auction catalogue for a period of five years from date of sale by Phillips de Pury & Company, subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth below. (a) Phillips de Pury & Company gives this Authorship Warranty only to the original buyer of record (i.e., the registered successful bidder) of any lot. This Authorship Warranty does not extend to (i) subsequent owners of the property, including purchasers or recipients by way of gift from the original buyer, heirs, successors, beneficiaries and assigns; (ii) property created prior to 1870, unless the property is determined to be counterfeit (defined as a forgery made less than 50 years ago with an intent to deceive) and has a value at the date of the claim under this warranty which is materially less than the Purchase Price paid; (iii) property where the description in the catalogue states that there is a conflict of opinion on the authorship of the property; (iv) property where our attribution of authorship was on the date of sale consistent with the generally accepted opinions of specialists, scholars or other experts; or (v) property whose description or dating is proved inaccurate by means of scientific methods or tests not generally accepted for use at the time of the publication of the catalogue or which were at such time deemed unreasonably expensive or impractical to use. (b) In any claim for breach of the Authorship Warranty, Phillips de Pury & Company reserves the right, as a condition to rescinding any sale under this warranty, to require the buyer to provide to us at the buyer’s expense the written opinions of two recognized experts approved in advance by Phillips de Pury & Company. We shall not be bound by any expert report produced by the buyer and reserve the right to consult our own experts at our expense.
