Antes de que MGMT se animara a dar un show en el Museo Guggenheim de Nueva York, otra banda ya había preparado el terreno para la psicodelia: el año pasado, Animal Collective visitó las instalaciones del mismo y ofreció para sus fans una extraordinaria presentación audiovisual en la que estrenó nuevo material. El proyecto, una lisérgica exhibición de tres horas que incluyó música, proyecciones y disfraces (y que "transformó el recinto en un ambiente cinético y psicodélico", según un comunicado de prensa ), fue una colaboración de la banda con el artista visual [...]

photos by Kurt Christensen " MGMT 's trippy electronica beats... fit right into the equation, although a lot of the crowd wasn't feeling it. I overheard one (probably Manhattanite) guy complain, "Give me something with a melody, play songs!" The set was MGMT's debut of totally new tracks that they created specifically for the event and were inspired by the Cattelan installation . While at times the songs were a bit too obvious (one piece with electronic organ sounds was clearly meant [...]

Os lo contábamos hace exactamente un mes. MGMT , una de nuestras bandas favoritas, preparaba una actuación muy especial programada para noviembre en el Guggenheim de Nueva York . No se trataba de una actuación cualquiera, sino que los americanos prometían volver –aunque nunca se fueron- por todo lo alto en un espectáculo nada tradicional que rompería con lo que se había visto hasta ahora de la banda. En palabras del grupo, una actuación que elevaba la música a una composición recreada especialmente para el Guggenheim, una exposición llena de arte [...]

Watch the NY duo perform at the Guggenheim Museum.

Se você passar pelo site oficial do lendário museu Guggenheim e conferir fotos do trabalho do artista visual Maurizio Cattelan, você perceberá imediatamente que a escolha do MGMT para providenciar a trilha sonora exclusiva da retrospectiva do artista foi mais do que acertada. A banda de Andrew Van Wyngarden encerra, com dois shows no museu nova-iorquino, o evento 2011 International Gala. O primeiro show aconteceu na noite passada, e alguns vídeos retratam a obra inédita, feita precisamente para acompanhar o trabalho de Catellan, apresentada ao vivo pelo grupo de indie-pop psicodélico.

Aunque hace tiempo que no hablamos de MGMT , en los próximos meses parece que las cosas van a cambiar, y mucho. Los americanos vuelven con el que será su tercer trabajo, un disco que curiosamente será un self-titled y que ya está creando bastantes expectativas. Poco se sabe de él, salvo que el grupo podría volver a sus orígenes y hacer un disco más cercano Oracular Spectacular , su debut de 2007. Pero mientras tanto, han surgido algunas noticias que podrían estar íntimamente relacionadas con el trabajo. Hablamos de [...]

Well how hip is the Guggenheim Museum in NYC these days?

Museum members will have a presale on 10/13 and 10/14, with member pre-sale codes announced via e-mail on 10/13. "More details to be announced soon," says the info page . They even include a contact email and phone number there as well. I hope they [...]

I know you're sick of Radiohead posts, but, well, they keep doing things! (and anyway, more importantly, this post also contains Portishead!). But back to the point.... Radiohead just played two shows at Roseland Ballroom, appeared on SNL , and on The Colbert Report . They're also rumored to play for Occupy Wall Street today at 4 PM, though that might not happen . In addition to all of that, Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood will perform on Fallon on [...]

Words: Winner of the Guggenheim | YouTube Play (by Keith Kenniff ) Amazing stuff by Keith Kenniff aka Goldmund, Helios.

Dublin-based duo takes you on a unique musical journey.

The Canon of Online Video We recently finished a lengthy paper for our PhD course work on the growing need to canonize online video (although other forms of media/entertainment aren't immune). We examined the Guggenheim's YouTube Play event which chose...

Kutiman first came to my attention with his phenomenal Thru-You project where he cut and pasted from a multitude of videos to create wholly original compositions. The artist's work has recently been displayed his work at the YouTube exhibition at the Guggenheim in New York. His most recent project was for Israeli singer Karolina. The [...]

(Warning: the above video is pretty weird; and it contains some swearing) "Zef Side," the premier viral communiqué from the enigmatic South African rave-rap trio Die Antwoord , was shown at New York's Guggenheim last week as part of a global video art competition titled YouTube Play. Though the band's name translates to "the answer" in Afrikaans, their cultivated mystery leaves one with an abundance of questions. Given the group's pre-Die Antwoord past as members of a jokey "corporate" rap group and an experimental music collective, when Ninja , [...]

"Wonderland Mafia" by Waambat This video is one of the finalists for the inaugural installment of YouTube Play: A Biennial of Creative Video . A curatorial team from the Guggenheim weeded through more than 23,000 submissions from 91 countries to come up with the 125 videos on the shortlist (which you can view now on the YouTube Play channel ). Beginning today, their selections will play at the various Guggenheim museums around the world; a jury that includes Darren Aronofsky, Animal Collective, and Takashi Murakami will narrow down the list to 20 videos that [...]

Spending Friday at the Whitney Museum of Art's Biennial was like spending an afternoon watching YouTube, except the Whitney's installations were of a lower production quality and were vastly less meaningful — even when shouting their relevance at full volume. Room after room showed video after video in the show billed as the art world's statement of what's happening now, a statement, the Whitney will tell you, it has been making for over 75 years. But this version of the Beinnial's statement is about … Read the rest at dougist.com

by scro lord All I want is to be surprised. Having what may begin like a familiar journey end in a weird twist of sound or ideas that jostle my balance. Confuse and intrigue me while I submerge myself in the cultural and musical delights of New York City 2010. Yes, this is some snarky diatribe on a blog site. I'm aware of the dedication, practice, and emotional commitment needed for good and above average art and I admit that I lack the ability to create [...]
