They were = so fresh, playful and original - each a one-off, no detectable group style. = They seemed happy to be exactly who they were in their particular and = different lives. That same evening, I went to a jazz club and watched a group of = young Americans of about the same age. They, on the other hand, seemed so = mediated - every move, gesture and expression gathered from ads, soaps, cartoons, = how-to books and pop videos. Their lack of ease with themselves, their = desperation to be part of the momentary culture, was embarrassing. It's strange that a = society which placed such a strong emphasis on conformity should have produced so= many originals, whereas another society which so prided itself on = individualism should have produced so many clones. Those young Americans wanted = desperately to be 'now' - and 'now' for them is hysterically short, a product constantly= being updated. We were invited to a club on Nevsky Prospekt: the customary quota of = semi-tarts in semi-skirts, semi-dancing with semi-hoods. We weren't expecting much = else, but Valera, of the band the New Composers, told us he was doing = 'something spectacular'. As he began play-ing, people appeared wearing the most = imaginative and strange constructions - a woman in a silver cloak which opened to = reveal an enormous silver bell, hanging like a giant penis before her. She threw = away the cloak to reveal, repeatedly and proudly, a gorgeous bottom - wide, firm = and perfectly honey-coloured - and then capped her performance by bending straight-legged to the ground and letting the bell sway between her legs. Meanwhile, human mice scurried around the legs of ladies in black, = backless cocktail dresses, and the music gurgled and hissed in its parallel = electronic universe. Gorgeous reappeared as a human apple, big, red and round, which was = attacked and eaten by a 20-legged human sex-caterpillar. Another woman fluttered on in= a sort of butterfly costume whose vast white wings were secured by wires to the = corners of her mouth, so that her lips were pulled wide open. Gorgeous came back = again, walking on shoes made of 18-inch-high wooden stools, attended by a man on= whose shoulder perched a grey cat with wings. In her dress was a hinged door = which opened to reveal a shelf and some liquor bottles. Several backless, = topless or bottomless people and a few mice helped themselves to drinks. Most of the audience, bored or baffled, sat still, scrutinising their drinks. Not the situation for a piece of cutting-edge performance art. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Orblike - Orbitalesque - Art of Noise-ish =20 The Love Frequency: http://www.mp3.com/tlf ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------ End of faxlist-digest V2001 #85 ******************************* --- + To post: ; to mail a person: + To unsubscribe: "unsubscribe" to + Online info at: www.faxlabel.com www.hyperreal.org/fax www.2350.org
