* Fico louco com essas coisas. Música nova do Wack, banda da frutífera Curitiba capitaneada por um moleque guitarrista de 17 anos e que tem uma fiel escudeira da mesma idade, baixista, japonesa e loira ainda por cima. O Wack, que já apareceu na Popload algumas vezes, é banda do lado B curitibano e seu proprietário, o tal guitarrista, se chama Ian Joe. Ele tem esse nome mesmo. Está na identidade. A mãe resolveu homenagear via filho sua paixão por Ian Curtis (Joy Division) e Joe Strummer (Clash). Mãe bacana.

Uma espécie de Jon Spencer do som de garagem sujo, ou Wavves para ter uma referência lo-fi mais atual, Ian Joe preparou um novo EP do Wack. Ele e sua parceira Tami Taketani lançaram, na virada de maio/junho, o EP “WACK LIVE”. Quatro músicas novas e mais um bônus, que dá para baixar gratuitamente no Facebook da banda. O bônus é a versão “slow” de uma música já slow.

O “live”, do nome do EP, foi porque o disco foi gravado no porão-estúdio da galera do Subburbia, outra espertíssima banda de Curitiba, meio que da “crew” que abarca bandas como o Wack, produtores de vídeos indies, fotógrafos idem.

A canção que puxa esse trabalho chama “Dry”, e é muito boa. E tem um vídeo-colagem bem bom também. Nessa Curitiba underground, as bandinhas de Curitiba adoram um vídeo-colagem cool. Está virando uma marca até. Difícil tirar o olho.

A gente tem aqui o vídeo de “Dry”, do “Wack Live”. Tenha o Wack você também.

From re-blogging work by other artists to generating your own solo digital exhibition, the ability to collect and show art has never been so fast, affordable, and publicly personable, thanks to Tumblr. According to Brad Troemel, viewing art on this platform can help us “gain a greater art-informed appreciation for worthy cultural relics long deemed non-art.”

Take Tim Bierbaum and John Miller. Their online “Baguette-Me-Nots” Tumblr blog series  consistently pairs a vast array of comedians with baguettes in contemporary settings. While some might simply call this series a lowbrow photo fad parallel to “planking” or “breading cats,” others might compare it to something like Dada meets “cyber” street art– brilliantly funny, evoking nonsensical play, and showcased in an egalitarian manner: on a digital wall outside of the gallery system. After all, the word Dada might have been born from Tristan Tzara and Marcel Janco’s constant usage of “da, da” meaning “yes, yes” in Romanian– a word comedians and improvisers know and love fondly.

Irving Harper: Works In Paper is a new book from Skira Rizzoli that collects the paper works of industrial designer Irving Harper. Harper worked as the director of design at George Nelson Associates during the 1960s and is known for designing the Marshmallow Sofa for Herman Miller (as well as the firms’ iconic logo) and the ball and sunburst clocks for Howard Miller. Privately the designer was also an artist and created numerous paper sculptures depicting animals, masks, and other figures. Via Rizzoli:

Encompassing influences as diverse as Picasso, Egyptian hieroglyphs, the art of Oceana and Africa, the architecture of Paris, and the American beech tree that shades the Rye, New York home he has lived in for over 50 years, the artist’s private meditations reveal an informed aesthetic consciousness expressing itself as pure joy. Harper’s private work delivers on the promise of modernism: humble materials elevated by brilliant design and craftsmanship, and integrating the natural world to create objects in a universally understood language.

You can pick up the book on Amazon or directly from Rizzoli. All images courtesy Skira Rizzoli. (via grain edit)
