10 discos para 2009
A surpresa de 2009 foi este álbum de estreia do quarteto londrino The XX. Um disco que apesar de sofrer uma forte militância na escola urbano depressiva característica da Inglaterra de fins dos anos 70, soa todo ele a novo. Soa a sensualidade no seu estado mais puro. Soa a The XX.
Girls - Album
Bat For Lashes - Two Suns
Passion Pit - Manners
Yacht - See Mystery Lights
Franz Ferdinand - Tonight: Franz Ferdinand
Mayer Hawthorne - A Strange Arrangement
Antony and the Johnsons - The Crying Light
Junior Boys - Begone Dull Care

"In my work this romantic ideal of union with the natural world conflicts with our contemporary impact on the environment. These pieces are in part responses to environmental stressors including climate change, toxic pollution, and gm crops. They also borrow from myth, art history, figures of speech and other cultural touchstones. In some pieces aspects of the human figure stand-in for ourselves and act out sometimes harrowing, sometimes humorous transformations which illustrate our current relationship with the natural world. In others, animals take on anthropomorphic qualities when they are given safety equipment to attempt to protect them from man-made environmental threats. In each case the union between man and nature is shown to be one of friction and discomfort with the disturbing implication that we too are vulnerable to being victimized by our destructive practices.
I hand sculpt each piece out of porcelain, often building a solid form and then hollowing it out. Smaller forms are built petal by petal, branch by branch and allow me the chance to get immersed in close study of the structure of a blossom or a bee. I chose porcelain for its luminous and ghostly qualities as well as its strength and ability to show fine texture. It highlights both the impermanence and fragility of natural forms in a dying ecosystem, while paradoxically, being a material that can last for thousands of years and is historically associated with high status and value. I see each piece as a captured and preserved specimen, a painstaking record of endangered natural forms and a commentary on our own culpability." - Kate MacDowell
