WHOAREI – LOVING YOU AINT COMPLICATED

Posted on 2020-05-11

Sacramento, California’s Whoarei, drops, by some accounts a debut full-length LP to elevate the game set by 2013’s Nothing and 2017’s collection of tunes Vibrations, comes off as a wildly self-assured formal introduction. From the opening spare beat and luscious organ of ‘Tell Me (Heaven Maybe Certain)’, through the early James Blake-recalling ‘I Love You, Cookie’ and the string-adorned title track, we become privy to an artist unafraid of incomprehension.

JAN HENDERIKSE – FACING NEW REALITY

Posted on 2020-05-11

Jan Henderikse, a Dutch-American citizen, was born in the Dutch city of Delft in 1937. He left his hometown in 1959 for Düsseldorf, Germany and from there he moved to Curaçao in 1962. In 1968 he moved to New York and lived for a few years in the iconic Chelsea Hotel. He embraced New York as his new hometown while maintaining studios in Berlin and Antwerp.

Henderikse was well aware of the new developments in the New York art scene with which he immediately felt an affinity with. In 1962 the legendary Sidney Janis Gallery presented ‘The New Realists’, an exhibition with Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg and George Segal in combination with their European ‘Nouveau Realisme’ counterparts Yves Klein, Jean Tinguley, Arman and Daniel Spoerri. Henderikse knew his European colleagues quite well, having exhibited with them in the early days. They all shared similar ideas and felt the same in creating and welcoming this ‘New Realisme’. For them, no more old-fashioned painting, but instead now facing New Reality.

ONWARD

Posted on 2020-05-11

Set in a suburban fantasy world, Disney and Pixar’s “Onward” introduces two teenage elf brothers who embark on an extraordinary quest to discover if there is still a little magic left out there. “The story is inspired by my own relationship with my brother and our connection with our dad who passed away when I was about a year old,” says director Dan Scanlon. “He’s always been a mystery to us. A family member sent us a tape recording of him saying just two words: ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye.’ Two words. But to my brother and me—it was magic.

“That was the jumping-off point,” continues Scanlon. “We’ve all lost someone, and if we could spend one more day with them—what an exciting opportunity that would be. We knew that if we wanted to tell that story that we’d have to set the movie in a world where you could have that incredible opportunity.”
