Tempest

We are two ships passing

How long will this last 

We haven't had the time to work it out

Sitting in the backseat

Who knows where our paths meet

And you keep shouting we've gotta work it out

You gotta believe me when I say I know 

(Gotta work it out, it out)

You aren't riding on this wave alone

(Gotta work it out, it out)

Gotta believe me when I say I know

(Gotta work it out, it out)

I already know I know I know I know

Yell all that you want to

I'll yell it right back to you

Back and forth until we've tired out

Temper into tempest

Washes off the madness

But we're still left with figuring shit out

The seeds of what you say all beg for reason

Plant them deep so we can disregard them

Been listening to every word you said

You're just waking up to get back into bed

The seeds of what you say all beg for reason 

Plant them deeply so we can release them

Been listening to every word you said

You're just waking up to get back into bed

You know I'm riding on this wave alone 

You know I'm riding on this wave alone

You aren't riding on this wave alone

I already know I know I know I know

Gotta believe me when I say I know

Already know I know I know I know

The Oldest Of Sisters

 

I am not sure is it how you would say yes 

your room's still open 

but I didn't miss the steps 

cause when I went nearby 

to see what I have missed 

there was your doorman 

challenging me to confess 

friend of mine

my old friend refire 

my old friend well tide 

my old friend of mine 

but I get someone behind 

oh you gave me shelter 

say a fool you must not learn 

why you've kept close 

will be left here to burn 

me oldest of sisters

she was the greatest one to earn 

so I wrote her this letter 

in advance of my return 

friend of mine 

my old friend refire 

oh my old friend well tide 

old friend of mine 

well I get someone behind 

as I get someone behind 

friend of mine 

my old friend refire 

my old friend well tide 

old friend of mine

Young again

.

Time is disgraceful 

We’re all just watching as things fall apart 

And silence seems wasteful

When I know what’s coming for me in the dark

I’m young again

Thanks a lot

I’m young again

Ra ra

Jobs are disgraceful

They tick like suffering from a clock

I sized my potential

It just seemed small in the wrong box

Cuz I’m young again

Thanks a lot

I’m young again

Ra ra

Thanks for my spot

Feed me sonar

Lead me so far

Feed me sonar

You need me so far

Information Runs On

Traffic lights fall to the street,

chandeliers start to swing,

crashing lights at our feet.

We drive through our lives like a dream,

how we long for release

from these nights of caffeine.

Isolate the neurons

the information runs on,

the gears your minds will turn on,

as information runs on.

The feedback of fools amplified,

engineers start to grind out the lens

in our mind’s eye.

We’re houses of cards

built in rows,

shuffling fears as we go

through these years, overclocking lost time.

Isolate the neurons

the information runs on,

the gears your minds will turn on,

as information runs on,

runs on.

Naxos III

Naxos III

“Big Sweet has this island, virtuous are the faces of people, piles are shaped by melons, peaches, figs and the sea is calm. I looked at the people - never this people have been frightened by earthquakes or by Turks, and their eyes did not burn out. 

Here freedom had extinguished the need for freedom, and life spread out as happy sleeping water. And if sometimes was discomposed, never rose tempest. Safety was the first gift of island that I felt as walking around Naxos."

Hybrid stories

Hybrid stories

from the EMST collection

27/06/2013 - 29/09/2013

Curated By: Stamatis Schizakis

The National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST) presents Hybrid stories, from the EMST collection, an exhibition of 14 works, of video art and film, by acclaimed artists such as Robert Wilson, Rebecca Horn, Gary Hill, Jean –Luc Godard, among others. 

This particular selection of works combines the other aspects of the new narrativity which formed during the 70s when artists chose video as their new medium of recording or started undermining the established cinematic practices. From a medium of recording, video became in the hands of these visual artists an exceptionally flexible and expressive instrument. Through the hybrid character of the produced artworks, in which painting, sculpture, music, theatricality, cinematic narrative and television are brought together, one recognizes the concerns of contemporary aesthetics in relation to the correspondence of the arts of space and time and also the realization of the demand for the synthesis of the arts.

In his ritualistic work Deafman Glance, a televised adaptation of his five-hour “silent” opera, Robert Wilson, intersects theatricality with visual arts. Rebecca Horn’s films integrate (and redefine) her sculptural world, her performances and her body pieces into the “reality” of the cinematic narration. Jean-Luc Godard along with Anne-Marie Mieville analyze the political economy of personal and mass media communications in a provocative critique of the power of media images in contemporary culture and everyday life. In the works of Gary Hill the viewer observes the passage from the pictorial use of the medium to the artist’s own linguistic-centered games.

Dimitris Kozaris draws his material upon hundreds of neglected “spaghetti” western movies. He parodies not only the “low” products of mass culture but to a much greater degree, he criticizes the position of the contemporary artist, who erects communication networks through deconstructionist activities. In the cross-section of the cinematographic and photographic storytelling, the work of George Drivas which also integrates the written word, sound, even architecture, detects the boundaries and the relations between reality and fiction, objective testimony and aesthetic construction.
