I have a solo exhibition opening at Das Gift this Friday June 29, 19:00 until late. The show only runs until July 5 and can be viewed between 19:00 – 1:00, but Friday night will be the best time to see it!
Man Without Country‘s latest video Closet Addicts Anonymous was released last week. This is the second video that Joseph Jensen and I have directed for the band (the first being Puppets). We experimented with live video feedback for this promo, using an analog video mixer, a video camera and a CRT Broadcast monitor. Joe and I also created the artwork for the band’s recently released debut album Foe, I look forward to doing a post about the album art as soon as I have a 12″ vinyl copy of the album in my hands.
Last week was cool, Joe and I won Best Animation in the SoundKILDA music video competition for this animation!
And The Design Files published this profile and interview with me.
The below piece was featured in the interview, it is one of my new collages and it will be part of my upcoming Berlin solo exhibition at Das Gift June 29.
Tonight “The Tiger Inside Will Eat The Child” music-video Joe and I made for Kate Miller-Heidke is screening in the SoundKILDA music-video competition along with 16 of the best Australian music-videos from 2011.
Update! The Tiger Inside won the SoundKILDA award for Best Animation!
In other exciting news, the music-video Joe and I made for Gemma Ray’s “Rescue Me” screened on Top Of The Pops 2 last Monday!
And finally, earlier in the week I spoke to The Vine about being a creative Australian based in Berlin, you can read the interview here.
This is the photo that accompanies the interview, Joe took it earlier this year in Prenzlauer Berg. I’m in front of a GDR memorial to Ernst Thälmann.
Here are some mock-ups I recently created for a music video treatment, (sans Joe’s wonderful animated characters). Joe and I are in the process of further developing the treatment, and we might end up moving away from using some of these inital ideas, but I really like them so I thought I would share them here.
Joseph Jensen and I directed this video for ex-Melbourne now Berlin based musician Ned Collette + Wirewalker (Joe Talia), it premiered earlier this week on Mess+Noise. ‘Long You Lie’ is the first single from Ned+Wirewalker’s second album 2, that comes out tomorrow through Dot Dash/Remote Control. The video features Sascha Gersak and well known German stage actor Mirjam Smejkal.
On Wednesday Tom and Ryan from Man Without Country came to Berlin (all the way from Wales) to make a music video with me and Joe. Here are some behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot, I love these images but the finished video is going to look a lot different. Joe and I also directed Man Without Country’s Puppets video which came out earlier this year, and we made the album art for their debut record Foe which is out on June 5th via Lost Balloon / Cooperative Music. It’s been great working with the band, stay tuned for the video…
