December 1: Early music videos by David Bowie, introduced by Thurston Moore A screening of music videos of the innovative musician, actor, producer, arranger, and audio engineer David Bowie is held on the occasion of the artist’s recent gift of music videos to the museum. For many of his videos, Bowie collaborated with the photographer and filmmaker Mick Rock, best known for his images of 1970s glam-rock icons such as Iggy Pop, Queen, the Ramones, Lou Reed, and the Sex Pistols. Thurston Moore, of the “no wave” band Sonic Youth introduces and emcees the program, which takes place in conjunction with Looking at Music, an exhibition by curator Barbara London that explores music’s role in the interdisciplinary experimentation of the 1960s, when a dynamic cross-fertilization was taking place among music, video, installation, and what was known as “mixed media” art. Looking at Music is on view in the Museum’s Yoshiko and Akio Morita Gallery through January 5, 2009. Organized by Barbara London. |

Moshe, are you the band's publicist or something? I'm not really joking. I mean, I know you did saucerlike.com, but I'm curious HOW you get all the lowdown so quickly.

"best known for his images of 1970s glam-rock icons such as Iggy Pop, Queen, the Ramones, Lou Reed, and the Sex Pistols."
That's some of the most amusing copy I've read ever. |

So Thurston & Co. never send you press releases or advance word on stuff? I mean. I'm pretty freakin' dedicated, but you beat me to news 9 out of 10 times. |

SPACE ODDITY AT MOMA
The Museum of Modern Art is presenting a special program of 15 music videos starring glam rocker (and former art student) David Bowie on Dec. 1, 2008. Co-organized by MoMA media curator Barbara London and Sonic Youth founder Thurston Moore, the show includes Life on Mars (directed by Mick Rock) and Heroes (directed by Stanley Dorfman). MoMA has been collecting rock videos since 1985; the museum received a complete set of Bowie music videos earlier this year as a gift of the David Bowie Archive. For advance tickets, see www.moma.org |

« SHELFLIFE #15A: BUT THEY DON’T BLINK PROCESS
SHELFLIFE #15B: MY RULES » SHELFLIFE #14B: TRASH TANKAS FOR LADY STARDUST Thurston and Byron have always been models of “doing it right”. Take this zine. They wrote this ridiculous, yet visionary, thing–a David Bowie discography in the form of a set of 27 tankas. The guys cranked out 100 of ‘em on a home office printer, stapled them, numbered them, boxed them up and took them down to Galapagos (when it was still down on N.6 St in Williamsburg) from Massachusetts on a particularly snowy night in 2002 for a reading. As far as I remember, they sold them cheap–for gas money, I reckon. They wrote a fucking book expressly for a single poetry reading–and you know what? It wasn’t the first time and it wasn’t the last. Why? Why the hell would someone do such a thing? Because those motherfuckers write tankas and like glam. Why the fuck not? When people have not just multiple passions, but also unique personalities–they have a responsibility to concoct mediums thru which to share their knowledge and perspective with others in interesting ways. That’s what creativity is. It’s what art is–making impractical things that have no business existing and no viable market, then loading your bladder with them and pissing wildly from the tallest barn, bridge, rock or tree into a gale wind and seeing what happens. People tend not to know how much they enjoy an accidental golden shower until they catch a couple of drops on their tongues. Next thing you know, 100 people are flipping Webster’s open to T to figure out what exactly a tanka is and then browsing thru the Bowie discography to see just how much sense this truly makes: HUNKY DORY (RCA 1972) limp wrist hoot rock gas naive enough to make lou spit out a mouthful on john giorno’s old black pants very same place andy did  |
