http://prettycoolpeopleinterviews.submarinechannel.com Although he thinks it’s a bit cliché for an artist from Scandinavia, there is no question about it: Kustaa Saksi is heavily inspired by nature. His organic shapes and arabesque lines easily remind us of dark woods, meandering rivers and steep mountain slopes. Kustaa: “Especially in Finland, you don’t have to go far to find yourself in total wilderness.” But this doesn’t mean Kustaa has limited himself to nature’s palette as well. On the contrary: Kustaa loves bright colours, from deep purple and vivid yellow to down right, crazy psychedelic compositions. Art nouveau and pop art from the sixties are also major influences on his work. He likes to mix these powerful art movements from the past in a modern fashion, using the computer in a way it doesn’t look like it was done with the computer. Having worked for magazines and brands all over the world, Kustaa has made a new step in his career: designing for 3D. Earlier he did create prints for 3D objects like shoes, but now he committed himself to the real thing - with some help of a befriended artist and an advanced Xerox-machine. The sculptures were commissioned by pop up gallery Maxalot in Amsterdam for an exhibition called Heroes. The first time he saw his computer renderings come to live it was in fact an orgasmic experience for Kustaa. So we joined Kustaa to Utrecht where we witnessed another stimulating session of the birth of an iconic sculpture. Wanna be excited too? Watch the short doc we did on this Finnish hero.

Thanks to the hospitable people of Protospace where artists can experiment with new techniques and materials and Maxalot, the pop up gallery in Amsterdam.

Interviews et analyse autour des photos de Larry Clark censurées aux mineurs lors de l'exposition "Kiss the past hello" au Musée d'Art Moderne de la ville de Paris. Ce travail a été réalisé dans le cadre d'un séminaire intitulé la "visualisation des effets du pouvoir sur les corps". La démarche se veut originale puisqu'elle part d'un matériau essentiellement visuel pour interroger notre rapport au corps adolescent. Merci aux personnes qui ont accepté l'interview.

In 2011 Banger Films released the biggest-ever series on the history of heavy metal and hard rock, Metal Evolution. Based on Banger's groundbreaking "Heavy Metal Family Tree," the series explored over 40 years of metal history - from Early Metal and Shock Rock to Thrash and Nu Metal. Following metalhead-turned-anthropologist Sam Dunn, Metal Evolution took viewers on an unprecedented journey to over 30 countries on 4 continents to interview 300 of metal's most respected musicians including Alice Cooper, Bruce Dickinson, Slash, Lemmy, Lars Ulrich, Tom Morello and members of Van Halen, Deep Purple, Slayer, Lamb of God and many more. The series was a huge success, hitting #1 on VH1 Classic (US) and MuchMore (Canada), and broadcasting on networks in the United Kingdom, Norway, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Finland, Belgium, Brazil, India and elsewhere. Despite this success, metal fans around the world claimed there was one glaring gap in the series: There was no episode on metal's most underground sub-genre: Extreme Metal... For many metal fans, Extreme Metal is heavy metal. Since its emergence in the mid-80s, extreme metal has pushed metal to its sonic and aesthetic edge; bands like Death, Morbid Angel, Carcass, Entombed, Darkthrone, Dimmu Borgir, Opeth and many more combined guttural vocals, blast beats and lyrical themes of death and the occult to create metal's most transgressive offshoot. Though deeply underground, extreme metal is not an obscurity: It is metal's motor of innovation and continues to thrive today. However, Extreme Metal was considered too extreme for some TV networks so Banger has come up with a different way to turn "The Lost Episode" into a reality. We're launching an IndieGoGo campaign. We're appealing to the international metal community to help raise the funds to create the Extreme Metal episode. Contributors' support will send Sam on a global journey from San Francisco and Tampa to the United Kingdom, Norway and Sweden to investigate the history, myths and intricacies of extreme metal. Sam will unravel the lineage between Extreme Metal's divergent branches - Death Metal, Grindcore and Black Metal - and meet with the sub-genre's most influential sonic architects: Possessed's Jeff Becerra, Celtic Frost's Tom G. Warrior, Morbid Angel's Trey Azagtoth, Emperor's Ihsahn, Opeth's Mikael Akerfeldt and dozens more. The result will be an unforgettable portrait of metal's fastest growing sub-genre. So in the name of Extreme Metal, please help us make this episode happen! indiegogo.com/ExtremeMetal
