BENDIX HARMS – PORTRAITS: WHY ME?

Posted on 2023-12-25

The sixth exhibition by German artist Bendix Harms at Anton Kern Gallery presents twelve portrait paintings. The subjects range from Andy Warhol to Mike Tyson, from Mamon, the cat to a self-portrait with a blackbird. They are the result of the artist’s constant interrogation of the world. Why is at the beginning of every painting, and every why is given an appropriate response.

CREATION REBEL – SWIFTLY

Posted on 2023-12-04

Hostile Environment is the first album in over forty years from the legendary Creation Rebel, who were the original On-U Sound house band and responsible for classics such as Dub from Creation and Starship Africa. The trio of Crucial Tony, Eskimo Fox and Magoo are back with producer Adrian Sherwood to create a modern spin on their heavyweight dubwise rhythms.

It is the seventh album credited to the group, who originally coalesced as a live backing group for the late, great Prince Far I, in the process sharing stages with the likes of The Clash, The Slits and Don Cherry. Vocals from their former band leader, preserved on archive tapes, feature on the new record, as well as guest contributions from the likes of Cyrus Richards (musical director for Horace Andy and the Dub Asante Band), Italian synth maestro Gaudi, and fast chat king Daddy Freddy.
