The Robert Lehman Collection is one of the most distinguished privately assembled art collections in the United States. The 1970's era building that houses the collection, by Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates, is almost as striking.
warum schaut diese weise Dame so genau hin, eben, weil oft der Schein trübt ...
Ein afrikanischer Künstler hat hier in dieser Ausstellung oft Kunst aus Zivilisations- oder Wohlstandsmüll zusammengestellt, wobei unerwähnt blieb, ob es europäischer Müllimport oder afrikanischer die Quelle des Mülls ist. Diese Quelle scheint jedoch in vielfacher Hinsicht unerschöpflich.
Er nutzt vorwiegend Elektroschrott, alte Platinen, Kabel, Computertastaturen, Uhren usw.. Der Künstler kombiniert diese Materialien auch mit Organischem, wie Holz oder Dingen aus seinem unmittelbaren kulturellen Umfeld ... man weiß nie, was man sieht, nur dass die Bildwirkungen aus der Entfernung sehr ästhetisch sind ...
So hätten meine Titel auch sein können, Zufall - Verlegenheit - Überraschung - Ahnungslosigkeit - unbekannt - unerkannt, denn im Ernst, die Leute, die ich in der Ausstellung ansprach, waren positiv überrascht, gar begeistert ... denn wer kennt hier schon Elias Sime, der gerne mit Wachstum und Vergänglichkeit spielt ...
zur "Komposition" ... es reizte mich dem Bild viel Vordergrung zu geben und die oft angebrachte Drittellung zu vernachlässigen ... das fordert den Betrachter irgendwie heraus ...
denn wer würde denken, dass der Boden-Vordergrund tatsächlich kleiner ist, als die Wand ...
und wer würde denken, dass das Bild (mit Rahmen) Quadratisch ist, sogar breiter ist, als hoch ...
Sehgewohnheiten herausfordern ...
English
Curiosity is often enough ...
Why does this wise lady look so closely, precisely because appearances are often deceptive ...
In this exhibition, an African artist has often assembled art from the garbage of civilization or affluence, whereby it remains unmentioned whether the source of the garbage is European garbage imports or African. However, this source seems to be inexhaustible in many respects.
He mainly uses electronic waste, old circuit boards, cables, computer keyboards, watches, etc.. The artist also combines these materials with organic materials such as wood or things from his immediate cultural environment ... you never know what you are going to see, except that the visual effects are very aesthetic from a distance ...
My titles could have been Chance - Embarrassment - Exuberance - Cluelessness - Unknown - Unrecognized, because seriously, the people I spoke to at the exhibition were positively surprised, even enthusiastic ... because who here knows Elias Sime, who likes to play with growth and transience ...
About the “composition” ... it appealed to me to give the picture a lot of foreground and to neglect the third position, which is often used ... this somehow challenges the viewer ...
because who would think that the floor in the foreground is actually smaller than the wall ...
and who would think that the picture is square, even wider than high ...
Challenging viewing habits ...

The Robert Lehman Collection, one of the most distinguished privately assembled art collections in the United States, could easily stand alone as one of the nation's world class museums. Except it is not a free standing museum, just one of many glorious wings that can be found in the 2 million square feet of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The Robert Lehman Collection is one of the most distinguished privately assembled art collections in the United States. Robert Lehman's bequest to The Met, a collection of extraordinary quality and breadth acquired over the course of 60 years, is a remarkable example of 20th-century American collecting. Spanning 700 years of western European art, from the 14th to the 20th centuries, the 2,600 works include paintings, drawings, manuscript illumination, sculpture, glass, textiles, antique frames, maiolica, enamels, and precious jeweled objects.
The collection of approximately 300 paintings is particularly rich in the field of the Italian Renaissance, notably the Sienese school, as well as early Northern European works. Included in the 750 Old Master drawings ranging from the 15th to the 20th centuries is a significant group of 18th-century Venetian works, as well as other distinguished Italian, French, and Northern European examples. The collection is also renowned in several areas of decorative arts: Renaissance maiolica, Venetian glass, and antique frames.
Opened to the public in 1975, the Robert Lehman Wing includes a central skylit gallery surrounded by a series of rooms intended to recreate the Lehman family residence. Velvet wall coverings, draperies, furniture, and rugs evoke the ambience of private interiors and serve as a backdrop for this extraordinary collection.

"Glitchdroneworldbeat collaboration to die for"
(Peter Hollo / Utility Fog - FBI Radio)
When Michel Banabila and Rutger Zuydervelt (Machinefabriek) finished their first collaborative album, it felt like they were just getting started. Suprised by how fluent and natural their collaboration went, it was obvious that this wasn't over yet...
While 'Banabila & Machinefabriek' was quite an abstract affair, it's successor 'Travelog' is lighter, playful and rhythmic. Some moments might recall the mighty Tape, while others showcase motoric krautrock influences and subtle hints of African rhythms. All in all, this album clearly radiates the joy of its creative process and sees Banabila and Machinefabriek on the top of their game.

"Travelog is a collection of ambient and atmospheric soundscapes mixed with emotion filled layers and recordings that tell stories only possible in this medium. Their vivid use of space sets the stage for a performance of a lifetime."

"The entire new Banabila & Machinefabriek album is my new jam. Yow. Glitch ambient sonic travel heaven" - Marc Weidenbaum.

"Op die manier wordt herrie in iets moois getransformeerd. Daardoor is de plaat, anders dan veel ander werk in het noise/experimenteel/drone genre, geen moment saai. "
Includemeout2.blogspot.nl :
Appropriately, since I've just been out of the country, Travelog by Banabila & Machinefabriek (Michel Banabila and Rutger Zuydervelt) is getting an airing and mighty fine it sounds too. Having lived with it for a few weeks it's grown and grown, perhaps because there's something old-fashioned in the sound. I mean that in a good way. I mean, amid the electronic elements are touches of percussion and bass, along with tropical samples, and those in the wrong hands can sound like old farts trying to be modern.
It's an ever-shifting landscape, as befits the image of flight. White fluffy clouds give way to sandstorms of static and the pulse of a Los Angeles inhabited by Rick Deckard. Narita is ambient in the Eno travelogue sense, whilst Debris is a black hole of static noise which despite being edgy displays the fine touches evident throughout the album.
Just when I think I've got a sense of everything this album has to offer, new layers emerge upon listening again. That's what I mean by 'old-fashioned'. Banabila and Zuydervelt have made a piece of work with great care and in a world where frequently shallow Darkness and trendy Noise come easy, that's a good thing.
Vital Weekly 898:
In Vital Weekly 860 I was very much impressed by the collaborative efforts of Michel Banabila and Rutger Zuydervelt, best known as Machinefabriek. Both from Rotterdam, and Banabila the older of the two, with a long career that took him to world music, experimental music, electronic and Machinefabriek the better known one, certainly internationally. An album of the drones of Machinefabriek and Banabila's more experimental electronics, digital noise vs silence. It's of course not really a surprise that I was looking forward to their second album, which has just arrived. Again we are in for a little surprise, I think. They seem to be moving away from the more abstract, sound collages towards more coherent… 'songs', is perhaps the word that covers this best. Especially in the first few pieces of this CD, there is a certain 'pop' like character to the pieces, a light weight character even, which sets for a sunny tone in these pieces. Also they are well rounded, with strong melodic touches. Something which we perhaps don't expect that easily from Zuydervelt, whose strong point of recognition is the more ambient, more subdued side of music. Maybe Banabila is the one whose trademark is at work here? I am just guessing of course, but this change of work is great, I think. Even when a piece like 'Debris' is more like what we found on their first collaborative CD, it doesn't become an odd ball in this forty minute collection. Gone are the shorter bits but the addition of rhythm machines here and there make all of this an excellent experimental, instrumental rock like album, at times. It's a bit of all: poppy songs, post rock, ambient and experiment. It's all part of this excellent album, which you could play over and over, and discover something new all the time. (FdW)
Anhedonicheadphones:
The press release for Travelog indicates that it’s lighter and even “playful” in comparison to their previous effort. Once “Spin ‘n Puke” gets going—you’ll agree. The rhythmic world-influenced percussion and handclaps can hypnotize you while synth tones and various other glitches swirl in over the top of everything else.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that Travelog is more “listener friendly.” There are plenty of moments of harsh noise and ambience; it’s just that a bulk of this material leans more towards sounding like it was at least partially constructed beforehand, rather than an improvisation. The incredible urgency of a track like “Runner” is a great example of how that kind of execution succeeds.
Electronic music is the kind of field that has no boundaries—you can use technology to move people to a dope beat, or to scare the ever-loving shit out them with horrifying sounds. Travelog walks the fine line between those two extremes, and it continues to show that the collaborative partnership between Michel Banabila and Rutger Zuydervelt has no shortage of ideas. (Kevin Krein).
Mousique:
In vergelijking met Banabila&Machinefabriek is dit album veel minder abstract, voelt warmer en toegankelijker aan. Het heeft zelfs iets ouderwets, in de goede zin van het woord, waardoor ik soms moet denken aan Brian Eno, Biosphere of Boards Of Canada. Dit alleen maar om aan te geven tot wat voor klasse vakwerk deze twee Rotterdammers in staat zijn, want dit album kent vele lagen die zich pas na meerdere luisterbeurten volledig aan je ontvouwen. Superieur ambient album !
Cyclic Defrost:
There’s a deeply meditative feel to much of the music here, making ‘Travelog’ one of the most cohesive yet hard to categorise headphone soundtracks I’ve heard for a while. (Chris Downton).
Incendiary Magazine:
This record has a quality of something special, of something indefinably GOOD about it; in fact so good I think I can get away with calling it brilliant. One thing’s for certain, I can’t get enough of it at the moment. (Richard Foster).

Periwinkle Hear and Now:
Continuing a journey begun with their self-titled release in late 2012, Travelog is the latest release from Michel Banabila & Machinefabriek. Spin’n Puke, opens the album, a rudimentary rhythm that sounds like its inspiration was heard played on a log drum, then morphs through a glitched time warp into a giddy, percussive flurry, ending as a pitch-blend glide into a sattelite blip, disappearing in space. The stage is set for a series of small sound sojourns that as a whole constitute a release that like their debut, explores a wide array of texture, rhythm and sound source. Even the covers tell a tale, a vapour trail on the debut is replaced by a planes shadow flying over a desert coast where the water meets land – this time the waters blue spilling over from the debuts sky. The type remains identical, though smaller, again suggesting a continuing journey. The music is akin to a kind of new exotica, it suggests locations, but the locations exist in a hermetically sealed transaction made between the artists swapping and melding sound-files over the web. These locations appear in Narita for example, a disembodied vocal sample from a Yuko Parris and all n4ural track is embedded in a naive melody that has the air of a polite tea party, that is until its crashed by a fuzz storm battling a Hammond. When the storm subsides, we are left in a Japanese garden and we/I realize the opening melody is none other than a folk tune played on a flute while a skittering shishi-odoshi sample charms rather than alarms – or is it, did it, was it meant to be like this? We transition through Antennas to the gauzy Rain Painting, again, fireworks sourced beats are not, crackling and whirring, some rat-tat and we find ourselves in a slurry of fugged, muted beats and keys chiming strangled, it quietly subsides. I’m gonna leave you at Yarra, its my supposition maybe Michel picked up some samples while flying through the antipodes – Yarra’s a river. This approximates a close call with Hassell - bird calls, vocal Eno Airport/Buddesque Plateaux like loops, weird ritualistic yodels – a possible music. You do the rest, put these two musicians/composers together and you have some intriguing and quirkily engaging music – investigate, explore, enjoy. Perry Holt.
Blow Up :
Already accomplices in the making of the interesting work published last year, simply titled after their respective names, Banabila and Machinefabriek with “Travelog” don’t hide their intent to move towards milder climates. They might go a bit too far with this intent in the pleasing, light Spin ‘n Puke, all based on affable beats, but they get back on track with the splendid Narita, which emanates delicious exotic fragrances and lets some cracks appear towards the end in the otherwise idyllic soundscape, and with Antennas, an even more delicate and discrete piece, yet elusive thanks to the intricate work of fields recordings, child voices and glitch. Rain Painting pragmatically destroys the charm, unravelling from a mysterious darkness thanks to the demonstrated assembling art of Rutger Zuydeverlt, who surfaces with less reassuring outlines, after a superb intro of suspended abstractions and the guitar of Michael Banabila resting in a circular but dramatizing impasse. All followed by lazy, slightly ethnical beats inside a drone structure in Dinsdag and capturing minimalism in Debris, which surely is the piece closer to what we had heard in the previous record. They keep for the epilogue Travelog a golden and hardly perceptible romantic quiver which, despite the guitar hiccups in the first half of the track, expands the emotive gamma of the album further. (translation Sara Witchy)
Ether Real:
C’est en 2011 que l’on découvrait Michel Banabila et sa musique bien personnelle, quelque part entre ambient et musiques expérimentales, aidé en cela par un parcours et près de 30 ans d’expérience. Extrêmement productif, le Néerlandais sort facilement 3-4 albums par an, en grande partie sur son propre label Tapu Records, parfois en collaboration avec d’autres structures comme c’est le cas ici. Les collaborations, il les mène également dans la création, et ce depuis toujours, mais ce fut une surprise de le voir ici avec Machinefabriek que l’on apprécie également beaucoup. Il s’agit là de leur deuxième effort en commun, et un troisième volet est même sorti en mai de cette année. Comme pour The Latest Research From The Department Of Electrical Engineering, le précédent album de Michel Banabila chroniqué sur ces pages, Travelog est très riche, voire surprenant par moment. Certes, on n’est guère emballé par ce Spin ’n Puke peut-être trop enjoué, à la construction un peu trop classique, mais dès Narita, on retrouve tout le charme de la musique de Banabila, hors des sentiers battus, des espèces d’expérimentations poétiques, alliant ici une mélodie entre harmonica et cornemuse, des bribes vocales lointaines, et une texture grésillante qui n’en finit pas de monter. Questionnement légitime, sur les premiers titres on se demande quelle est la part produite par chacun des deux musiciens, mais cette interrogation disparaîtra bien vite car elle n’apparaît pas comme pertinente. Si les sources sonores sont variées, l’ensemble forme un tout cohérent, qui coule de source même si la musique du duo est un immense collage à base de mélodies acoustiques, de field recordings, de voix et bruitages divers, le tout saupoudré de bricolages et glitchs électroniques Antennas. On trouve donc dans l’ordre des mélodies flottantes alliant guitare, cuivre et électronique, des ambiances quasi industrielles précédent une ambient minimale (Rain Painting), une projection en forêt amazonienne avec oiseaux et chants tribaux (le très beau Yarra) qui se prolonge de façon un peu moins exotique sur Dinsdag. Les trois derniers titres surprennent par leur changement d’approche. Notre préféré, Runner joue d’abord sur un effet de hachage/syncope sur une mélodie de piano, assez typique d’une electronica glitchy, avant d’embrayer sur des boucles électroniques ultra prenantes. Changement complet de registre encore avec Debris et ses drones grésillants, texturés, puissants, frôlant le bruitisme. Puis l’album s’achève avec un morceau titre qui signe un retour aux instruments, entre accompagnement d’orgues et mélodie croisant guitare, piano et électronique. Un album finalement bien dans la lignée de ce que l’on pouvait attendre d’un touche à tout comme Michel Banabila et un duo qui nous apparait comme logique tellement l’album s’avère cohérent.

12 Days Press release - sent to me by the lovely Steal From Work collective, who organise these fantastic shows...
12 DAYS OF XMAS
Bristol Contemporary Urban Art Show
Once again Steal From Work have crow-barred their way in-between the mince pies, mulled wine and bumper Radio Times to cram 70 of the world's most loved & loathed contemporary urban artists together under one leaky roof for 12 festive fuelled days.
Last year was the first 12 Days of Xmas exhibition. It was held in Bristol's former Bridewell Police Station, and was hugely successful, attracting over 4,000 visitors over the 12 days. It has gone down in history as one of Bristol's best ever art shows and certainly kick started a huge interest in Street Art in the city. As well as proving that you don't need to be in an established, white walled gallery to show brilliant art and attract the crowds.
This year they've assembled art from 70 local, national and international artists, once again mixing some of the scenes leading lights with up and coming artists to provide a massive range of work available to buy at prices to suit all purses or simply just to gaze at…
Artists:
45RPM, Acerone, Andy Council, CHINA MIKE, DICY, DORA, EMMA CATON,FLX, GHOSTBOY, MOTORBOY, MR JAGO, PATCH, RICHT, ROWDY, SEPR, SIMON MILLS, THE ART TART, TOM HINE, WE DREAM OF MEAT, WHAT COLLECTIVE - Bristol
MAU MAU, TRXTR - Devon
CHU - Warsall
IMBUE, PAM GLEW - Brighton
PREFAB - Newcastle
ACE, CEPT, DOTMASTERS, DSCREET, IAMCXXX, MARK WARD, MIGHTY MONKEY, PANIK, SWEET TOOF - London
ADAM KOUKOUDAKIS, BEN SLOW, CYCLOPS, DOC VEK, EELUS, FILTHY LUKER, GOLDIE, HUSH, INKIE, IRI5, JAMES BAKER, JOHN CLARK, LUKE DIXON, SICKBOY, SPQR, WILL BARRAS - UK
WILL ST LEGER - Dublin
ALEXANDROS VASMOULAKIS - Greece
BON, KATE WESTERHOLT - Thailand
DAN - Italy
DOLK, PØBEL - Norway
SIXTEN - Sweden
M-CITY - Poland
EMESS, LINDA'S EX, M:M, SP38 - Berlin
GUY DENNING, JEF AEROSOL - France
GOLDEN SNAFU, OZZY MANDUST - unknown
Once again they're using an interesting venue that is not an established gallery, as they believe this breaks down the 'fear' lots of people have that they 'won't like' or 'won't understand' the art shown.
VENUE: 15 -19 Stokes Croft, Bristol, BS1 3PY
Friday 12th - Tuesday 23rd December
Opening night Friday 12th, 7-10pm
OPENING TIMES: 12pm-7pm (everyday from Saturday 13th December)

Michael Drummond is a veteran of Project Runway season eight whose client list includes actress Tika Sumpter, New York Fashion Week founder Fern Mallis, and supermodel and television host Heidi Klum. Largely self-taught, Drummond is a multitalented artist who works as a fashion design consultant and textile designer for SKIF International, produces his own line of clothing under his given name, and is a commercial stylist for print and film. In his work, he seeks to marry practicality and dramatic design. Drummond loves large-scale prints, delicate knits, simple comfortable shapes, deconstruction, and a dark palette. Rather than creating a new collection twice each year, he designs by building on a concept that could take three years to come to fruition. This is a process akin to creating a narrative and allows Drummond to choose a more thoughtful and ethical approach to clothing design with an end goal of creating interesting, timeless clothing that will work in his clients’ wardrobes for years to come.
Drummond’s work has been featured in several exhibitions, including Michael Drummond: Being Played (solo exhibition), World Chess Hall of Fame, St. Louis (2019); It’s Not You, It’s Me: A Declaration of Independence (curator), Sheldon Art Galleries, St. Louis (2019); A Queen Within: Adorned Archetypes: Museum of Pop Culture, Seattle (2019) and New Orleans Museum of Art (2018); The Imagery of Chess: Saint Louis Artists, World Chess Hall of Fame (2017); Little Black Dress: From Mourning to Night, Missouri History Museum, St. Louis (2016); Spread, Reese Gallery, St. Louis (2016); Pants!, Regional Arts Commission, St. Louis (2016); A Queen Within: Adorned Archetypes, Fashion and Chess, World Chess Hall of Fame (2013); Unraveled: Crossing the Line Between Fashion and Art, Sheldon Art Galleries (2007); and Layered, Stitched, Assembled, Art St. Louis (2006). In 2013, he curated Dressed, an exhibition at the Regional Arts Commission, St. Louis.
He has also worked as a costume designer for many operas, dances, and theatrical productions in the United States and Europe, including Medea, the Junction, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (2017); Kinetic Field Work, Washington University Dance Theatre, St. Louis (2011); and The Threepenny Opera (co-designed with Bonnie Kruger), Washington University Dance Theatre (2011).
Drummond has shown his work in numerous fashion shows, including Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York, Omaha Fashion Week, Kansas City Fashion Week, Nashville Fashion Week, and the Factory Fashion Show, St. Louis. His work has been reviewed and showcased in publications including the New York Times, New York Post, Huffington Post, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, The Tennessean, Alive Magazine, St. Louis Magazine, Hipster, and Vital Voice.
Chosen Artifact: Cleats worn by Helen Stephens, 1936. Missouri Historical Society Collections.

GP-004-Atomic Disabler (Pocket Gun)
This little wonder was a favorite of off- planet gamblers around 1893. Casino ships of the Mars circuit offered a wide variety of games where unscrupulous men and women lightened the pockets of dudes. Often this led to disgruntled passengers who decided to settle the score with a small, one shot, stun-blast from a single barreled pocket stinger.
However, most gambling sharks began carrying the GP-004 which was able to put out two blasts at one time with a renewable energy source. The results often ended in dead dudes.
These little pocket guns are a rare find. Most collectors of ray guns, like me, can only obtain photos of this deadly little miracle worker. The GP-004-Atomic Disabler pictured above is the only one that has ever been sold at auction. Even in this rough condition it brought 100 million credit units.

✰ This photo was featured on The Epic Global Showcase here: bit.ly/1YKPkBU ------------- So basically what happened was I decided I wanted a white background so I painted most of the paper back up with 3 maybe 4 thinned layers of gesso…I know wtf rite cos it was already white to begin with…so anyway this is how flexible these mediums are. To make it work now I am blending the pastel in and working the detail back ontop, right side of her hair is blended, left side is after detail #method #madness #fml #wip #art #drawing #sketch #illustration #portrait #rihanna #pastelpencils #prismacolor #nawden #artcollective #arts_mag #evection #art_spotlight #arts_help #spotlightonartists #arts_mag #worldofpencils #dailyarts #artistic_share #artsanity #artfido #artistsdrop #instart #igers #arts_gallery #assemble_art by @sugashaz on Instagram.

Selah getting ready for her picture.
I'm still working toward something with the graphic framing here, but not completely satisfied with what I ended up with. In college I would assemble art journals by taking found images and re-contextualizing them to tell personal stories. They ended up often having a similar aesthetic as this, but I'm not sure it works here with this subject.
I do like the way it looks in the light box view, though so do me a favor press L & tell me what you think.

Found this rock in Forbes Creek and assembled the Orange Devil. Part of an ongoing joint effort with strangers who are creating assembled art out of nature.

Often this led to disgruntled passengers who decided to settle the score with a small, stun-blast from a pocket stinger.
However, most of the gambling sharks learned to carry the GP-004 which was able to put out two blasts at one time. The results often ended in the death of the sucker.
