Steve Mc Queen - Girls, Tricky |
||||
_ British video artist and film director Steve McQueen did a very long and intense interview with Tricky, you can read the transcript here. Originally the audio interview (over 100 min.) was for download from Showstudio (plus a shorter, edited version), but unfortunately not anymore. Now there's only a video of 2 minutes, lika a trailer. Already in 2000 Steve McQueen has filmed the recording sessions for Blowback and turned the rehearsal of the song "Girls" into a short film (14 min, 47 sec long). You can watch parts of it on You Tube here, taken from Paris' "Nuit Blanche" in 2011. The film is called "Girls, Tricky" and it was shown at various exhibitions and museums. These are the exhibitions I know of: 1) Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna (May 9 - August 19, 2001) 2) Marian Goodman Gallery, New York (January 14 - February 19, 2005) 3) Art Institute, Chicago (May 16 - August 2, 2009) 4) La Cigale, Paris - during "Nuit Blanche" event (September 1, 2011) 5) Art Institute, Chicago (October 21, 2012 - January 6, 2013) 6) Schaulager, Basel (March 16 - September 1, 2013) video 7) Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Durham (October 1, 2015 - July 10, 2016) 8) Kunsthall, Bergen (August 15 - October 15, 2017) 9) Tate Modern, London (February 13 - May 11, 2020) As you can read on the Nasher Museum website, the film was first owned by the Marian Goodman Gallery and then purchased by the Nasher Museum.

press info | ||||
_ from the promo CD: >>Tricky, the genre bending UK native, is gearing up to release the record of his career entitled "Blowback". He first hit the scene with the Wild Bunch, the English collective that went on to become Massive Attack, prior to launching his solo career in 1994 with the epic release "Maxinquaye," an album which Rolling Stone named one of the "essential recordings of the 90s." Since then, this prolific artist has followed up with such criticially acclaimed albums as "Pre-Millenium Tension," "Angels With Dirty Faces" and "Juxtapose" collaborating with artists as diverse as Bjork, Garbage, Bush, PJ Harvey, Elvis Costello and Portishead. On his provocative new offering "Blowback", this master of ceremonies who consistently dogdes musical convention has truly outdone himself, sculpting a collection of songs that are distinctive, beautiful, moody and explosive all at once. Tricky is again surrounded by amazing artists such as Ed Kowalczyk from Live, members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alanis Morissette, Cyndi Lauper, Ambersunshower, Hawkman, and more. "Blowback" arrives in stores this summer.<< presskits: german press sheet: |
