INDIA & CANADA: PAINTING: MEERA SETHI

Artist Statement: “Foreign Returned explores South Asian identities through time and space while offering a contemporary interpretation of iconography from 16th to 19th century Indian miniature paintings. Local Australian flora and fauna, an Indian tiffin, a Canadian passport, and a Komagata Maru pendant are some of the reference in these works to experiences of transnational movement. These diasporic portraits question what is foreign and where is home.”

June Marieezy Blasé, 2015

2am in the wormhole. Today my homie in Manila hipped me to some Filipino music blogs, Vandals On the Wall and Radio Republic, where I commenced to spend the deep hours of the evening while eating pie and accidentally downing half a bottle of wine. The thing about these music binges is you get to a point where things start blurring and you can’t tell if you like a song or you’re just trying to like it, and then you start questioning if you even have any authority to judge music in the first place, especially after being at CVS and Shazamming a song you really dig only to learn that it’s Katy Perry. And then a song just cuts through the noise, because it’s soulful and funky and ridiculous and reminds you that your ears are indeed worthy. Tonight that track was “Blasé” by June Marieezy. What a fucking find.

OJ Law (Kulua Lumpur, Indonesia) “Introverts (Pradana’s LOLLERskate Remix)” (2015)

I can’t remember when was the last time I spent the entire day excavating and enjoying music! There’s so much out there, amazing sounds by artists with just a handful of followers – songs that have only been played a couple dozen times. Here’s one of my favorite finds today, OJ Law from Indonesia.

Emerald Four (Kyoto, Japan) Love Labyrinth (2014)

I’m working on a new pet project which has led me deep down a wormhole of Asian electronic music. I took some leads last night from this excellent piece on the Fader by Juliet Liu on the Beijing underground. The result of an afternoon of net digging is this eery but quite lovely video.
