LNRDCROY – CONTACT-E

Posted on 2024-05-27

Vancouver producer Lnrdcroy makes his debut on Clone’s label Repetitive Rhythm Research with a new EP entitled Contact-E. Armed with a vintage techno sound palette and the retro-futuristic aesthetic (down to the spaceship captain’s log style liner notes) to match, Lnrdcroy zeroes in on mid 90’s rave nostalgia here to great effect. The widescreen rhythmic assault of ‘It Rains On Their Planet’ feels practically cinematic in scope, while the swirling ‘Dematix Upscale’ will keep dancers moving with its relentless movement.

MELISSA SHOOK’S DAILY SELF-PORTRAITS, 1972-1973

Posted on 2024-05-27

In December of 1972, photographer Melissa Shook (1939–2020) assigned herself a personal, artistic challenge: to take self-portraits every day for a year, in her own words, “to prove that I exist.” Struggling with self-identity and unreliable childhood memories, Shook undertook this conceptual exercise to see if she could remember to take pictures every day. The days she failed to photograph herself became just as important as the days she succeeded, resulting in a singular body that powerfully conveys Shook’s relationship with memory, family, her body, and her sense of self. As both photographer and subject, Shook explored the dynamics of durational self-portraiture on both sides of her camera’s lens. The collective portrait that emerges conveys the vibrancy of Shook’s creative imagination, as she explores the intersecting facets of her identity as a woman, a mother, and an artist.
