    Evian Christ is the anonymous music producer who appeared on YouTube uploading his music only a month ago with huge praise.  Today it was confirmed that he was being signed to Tri Angle records. About two weeks ago we tried to contact him for an interview. After emailing him a couple of times we finally got this response:

    Today it broke that his name is Joshua Leary and he is 22 years old. Apparently he will make his first live appearance at the Tri Angle showcase soon…

    Check him out here:

  6. SKIN: a film by Ryan Hope

    Ryan Hope reveals Garage magazines ambitious project which tattooed pieces of the most contemporary and prestigious artwork on to willing volunteers. With the likes of Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Raymond Pettibon images being tattooed by other tattooers  this project brought up many interesting questions about ownership and prices of the tattoos made.

    Other than bringing up these intriguing questions the film has been made in the most detailed and achingly stylistic way. The film also gives a voice to the tattooed and their own personal experiences rather than the hugely famous artists who created the images.

  7. Without Why

    by Eugenia Lapteva

    ‘When rhythm has become the sole and unique mode of thought’s expression, it is then only that there is poetry. In order for mind to become poetry, it must bear in itself the mystery of an innate rhythm. It is in this rhythm alone that it can live and become visible. And every work of art is but one and the same rhythm. Everything is simply rhythm.’ (Hölderlin in conversation with Sinclair, 1804.)
