Martin Klimas - What Music Looks Like, 2011
Artist’s statement:
“Like a 3-D take on Jackson Pollock, the latest work by Klimas begins with splatters of paint positioned on a scrim over the diaphragm of a speaker. Then the volume is turned up. For each image, Klimas selects music—typically something dynamic and percussive, like Stockhausen, Miles Davis or Kraftwerk—and the vibration of the speaker sends the paint aloft in patterns that reveal themselves through the lens of his camera.”
L-R:
1. Miles Davis
2. Paul Hindemith
3. Pink Floyd
4. Kraftwerk
5. Charlie Parker
6. Grace Jones
7. J.S. Bach

Photo reblogged from i will devour
what to wear when…wrapped in words. fabric is her ink, her skin is stained with the smudges of old drafts. her body is a piece of text to be fallibly and furiously made and remade. a devotchka is a disguise is a discourse. the curve of a collar, the placement of lace - this is the only vocabulary she has with which to tell her story because her true self is a dead language that tongues trip over and mispronounce. she is both the author and the embodiment of her story, a tangible challenge or perhaps a plea for some cunning linguist to translate it correctly. metatexual becomes sexual and she’s a girl with commas in all the right places (requested by starksandrecreation).

- my mom and bro and i just had a talk about feminism
- and gendered language
- and my mom said language has changed so much since her time
- because now you tend to hear police officer more than policeman
- and fire people instead of firemen
- and we laughed and we laughed
- and then imagined that our house would burn down one day
- because my mom would be unable to think of a gender neutral word for firemen in time to get help
- femnism
- family timez
