Jose Parla (Miami art at its best)

Jose Parla is another huge insparation. I was on his website and i found
his mission statement, and i thought it was pretty cool so i figured i would share it
with all of you.

My work is inspired by the anonymous art found in the streets. The art is often in the form of calligraphy or the actions of torn and stripped posters. The inscriptions in my work are used as a form of drawing, and to maintain a record of my observations.

In my travels I have encountered a similar dialogue that takes place in most cities. I find compositions on surfaces of deteriorated walls, and remnants of construction markings. In my paintings I create layers and textures representing the age of memories collected through different periods of my life.

Evidence is left on walls by fleeting creators both aware of their message, or oblivious to what I may find in their signs. Still, they remain mostly unidentified.

When working on my paintings I imagine different people are making choices to write, paint, or destroy the surfaces. To do this I employ techniques to age my work, adopting materials normally used in construction.

I am using my imagination to capture the psychology of a segmented reality. These realities which are deposited into our subconscious everyday are the basis for a dialogue that goes mostly unnoticed. Once these "segmented realities" or images are transferred and converted into paintings they become a "memory document" , a sort of time capsule for my experience in history.

With this language I hope to communicate and provoke thoughts of the past and present conditions in the human spirit.

Sunshine Jones of Dubtribe Sound System in Miami

Dubtribe Sound system

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Dubtribe Sound System LogoDubtribe Sound System is a San Francisco based electronic musical group who produced and performed live world wide between 1991 and 2005. Dubtribe consisted of singers Sunshine Jones and Moonbeam Jones, but also included many sit in and "on tour" musicians over the years. Originally born in a rent party, Dubtribe Sound System distinguished themselves as performers by performing live for many hours, rather than replaying their recordings from dat tapes or portable computers, and touring without stopping, often bringing their own sound, lights, and traveling family with them. But unlike their few counterparts in North America, Dubtribe would depart from the warehouse movement and establish themselves in the mid 1990's as a grass roots tour de force, refusing help, press, or money from any outside interests.

Origins
Sunshine Jones, an ex-punk rocker and Bay Area native, taking in the still-emerging sounds of hip-hop. At club Townsend, DJ Doc Martin broke out some house music. "One night he just started playing Marshall Jefferson and Ten City, and it was a real shock," Sunshine says. "I left angry with Martin because he sold out on hip-hop."

After Sunshine spent a summer on the Spanish party isle of Ibiza in 1989, it started to make sense. All shapes and sizes getting together to dance, he says. I wanted to share that. It changed me forever.

Back in San Francisco, Sunshine had been leading an acid-jazz band. When it needed a vocalist, he reluctantly took on Moonbeam in 1990. ("I didn't want to meet anybody named Moonbeam," Sunshine says. "I had the shit beat out of me for my name.") Inspired by Ibiza, he tried to transform his group into a live house-music act. Many of the band members bailed, leaving just Sunshine and Moonbeam to go it alone as Dubtribe. At first, it was a grind trying to get booked in a DJ-centric world, but the duo's DIY 'Come Unity' events at the Bryant Street pad (the first event was a rent party) were a hit, and soon Dubtribe was making records. [1]

Conclusion
Dubtribe Sound System performed their final show at Cielo in New York City on December 1st 2005.

Notable Recordings
After a few years of cassette tape, and bootleg notoriety Dubtribe released 1993's 12" single "Mother Earth." the single was frequently quoted at being a major influence in the origins of The Chemical Brothers, DJ Icey, and many other breakbeat producers of the 1990s. Reaching the bottom of the UK Dance charts, included on hundreds of dance compilations, and remains a commonly sampled record.
Their 1996 ep 'Momentito Por Favor' was instrumental in broadening the latin house and deep house sound of the underground dance scene in the United States
In 1999 Dubtribe released their 5th album, Bryant Street, and while it undersold the expectations of Jive executives, the track Equitoreal was included on hundreds of dance compilations, and DJ mixes. Equitoreal rose up the UK Dance charts while Dubtribe were struggling to be released from their six album agreement with BMG. After refusing to allow Wrigley's Gum to license the song for a UK television commercial, the band was summarily dropped.
2001's 'Do It Now,' intended as the final Dubtribe Sound System recording, found itself in the hands of the UK Dance Music Guru Simon Dunmore of Defected Records Ltd.. Dunmore and his staff created a world wide phenomena of the song, and gave it a 5 year life span in turntable and charts all over the world. 'Do It Now' remains by far Dubtribe's most popular and well known recording.

Spencer Tunick

DUSSELDORF, GERMANY.- On Sunday, August 6th, 2006, the internationally renowned installation artist, Spencer Tunick, with the support of museum kunst palast, created a three-dimensional body sculpture involving a hitherto unknow amount of nude people in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Spencer Tunick invited Volunteers to take part in this project. Every participant will obtain a limited edition photograph of the installation. More information on the time and place of the event will be sent to participants by e-mail nearer the time. The installation will take place in all weathers.

With this installation, Tunick is connecting with the Düsseldorf Quadriennale06 – the first Year of Art proclaimed by the city and henceforth to be held every four years. Patently with the body theme he is also resuming one that plays such an important part in the work of Caravaggio, to whom museum kunst palast is dedicating a concurrent exhibition of thirty high-calibre loans

Since 1992, this US-American artist has been recording naked people in public spaces. His spectacular projects, such as for the Saatchi Gallery in London or the São Paulo Biennale, have been celebrated successes. The project for Düsseldorf will be his first installation in Germany. Since 1994, Tunick has realised more than sixty-five ephemeral, site-specific installations. His piece for the Institut de Cultura de Barcelona was a collaboration with 6,000 men and women. With the aid of photography, he has recorded these demanding projects which can come about only with the participation of volunteers.

Who is Helmut Newton?

Helmut Newton determined to become a photographer from his teenage years when he worked as apprentice to the fashion photographer Yva. He left for Singapore just before World War II, then spent seventeen years in Australia before returning to Europe. He lived for many years in Paris and it was in that city that he built his reputation. He has worked for numerous magazines, notably French and American Vogue, Vanity Fair, Stem, Marie-Claire, Nova, and Playboy, and has published several best-selling books.
