When Walter Benjamin questioned the aura of the artwork in his famous essay “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction” he launched a discourse that in the years to come has grown even more acute. There has been a shift of perspective not only concerning the production of art but also concerning the question of authorship. Today a young generation of artists addresses this question very consciously, blurring the boundaries between their own ideas and influences from their peers.Melodies & Rocks / Copyright is using this theme by addressing the issue of authorship and originality within art in relation to the process of creating and being influenced by others. This question involves a positive and a negative form of intercommunion at the same time. The show displays four different approaches towards the issue: London-based Dawn Mellor (*1970) and Lucy Pawlak (*1980) both work in strong narrational structures creating unique universes circling around specific topics. For the show at Karma International Mellor, who used to be Pawlak’s tutor at the Royal College of Art, took up the challenge of working with Pawlak’s main topic: an invented family that revolves around the patriarch character of the „Bearded Man“. As a response Mellor created a female character: Ingrid Thulin, the separatist sister of the “Bearded Man” who refuses to obey her brother’s power and chooses to destroy herself rather than living with her family. The installation with Pawlak’s dark and uncanny family tree and Mellor’s self-destructive portraits visualizes the dialogue between the two artistic practices.

Dan Thawley (aka Dan The Scout) in discussion with KVA about the A Magazine experience
As we have spent the last two weeks exploring A#7, it is very exciting to present the reflections of Kris Van Assche himself on creating an ‘A’. I asked Kris the following 10 questions this December, with over a year since his issue was released. His responses are intimate and thoughtful while remaining direct and informative – the words of a man with a clarity of vision and confidence in his work.

Read here as Kris discusses the trials and triumphs of this project!

raw power
For the upcoming double-300-page-volume upcoming fifth issue of sang bleu, Alex Binnie—whom I consider a kind of spiritual guide—wrote me a stunning essay on the power of tattooing. “Raw Power” it is entitled. To illustrate it our Adrian Wilson shot a series of people tattooed by Into You’s Thomas Thomas. :)
