SAM FALLS

Posted on 2019-04-01

Concerned with the intimacy of time, the illustration of place, and exploration of mortality, Sam Falls has created his own formal language by intertwining photography’s core parameters of time and exposure with nature and her elements. Working largely outdoors with vernacular materials and nature as a site-specific subject, Falls abandons mechanical reproduction in favor of a more symbiotic relationship between subject and object. In doing so, he bridges the gap between photography, sculpture, and painting, as well as the divide between artist, object, and viewer. In these new works, created especially for the show, he uses this language to conceive a unique space between photographic fidelity to a subject and painting’s intimate interpretation. At the same time, the paintings continue to stay true to a specific environment by utilizing local plants.

RIAN TREANOR – ATAXIA

Posted on 2019-04-01

Rian Treanor releases his anticipated debut album ‘ATAXIA’ on Planet Mu. The striking full-length follows singles for The Death Of Rave and Warp’s Arcola imprint as well as live sets at Boilerroom x Genelec, Nyege Nyege festival, tours in India and various high profile EU shows.

The title ‘ATAXIA’ means ‘the loss of full control of bodily movements’ and relates to Rian’s music which is “intended to make people’s bodies move in unpredictable ways.” He adds “the angles in the letters, the phonetics seem to mirror the geometry and idiosyncratic patterns in the music.” Rian explains that components of the tracks were made by generating a series of irregular events and re-structuring them, or by destabilising a pattern that is constant.
