The Children Of Sunshine -[10]- It's A Long Way To Heaven
"I guess the first comparison to come to mind without hearing them would be The Shags, but I’d eliminate them from your mind right now. This is nowhere near as disorientating; it’s actually far better than most of the Folk the grown-ups were making at the time. Probably because most of those guys were too busy trying to build on each other’s lacklustre melodies and very often ended up sounding the same. I’d say these two girls’ songs sound much more like twee pop than straight up folk, anyway.
There’s only about twenty five minutes of music here, but every track is a tune! The lyrics sometimes read like a weird stream of consciousness, like in one instance where the girls begin writing about a neighbour called Steven (not Joe), who is now known by everyone as Uncle Harry, before randomly morphing into Johnny Cash’s A Boy Named Sue for no reason other than just because! Infinitely more refreshing than the self-absorbed pseudo-poetry that constitutes most rock songwriting, anyway. This also hearkens back to a time when people were allowed to just be sweet without tempering it with heavy doses of irony and bitterness. This isn’t ironic! It’s not even kitsch, really. It’s just two really talented ten year old girls getting it together long enough to write and record ten or eleven catchy tunes before going back to being kids again."~sinagog

MIRROR PIECE I & II (1969/2018-2019) | JOAN JONAS EM SERRALVES
Mirror Piece I & II (1969/2018-2019)
Joan Jonas
Joan Jonas (Nova Iorque, 1936) é uma figura central e pioneira da vídeo arte e da performance de finais dos anos 1960 e umas das vozes mais influentes da arte contemporânea.
A reconstrução da peça Mirror Piece I & II (1969/2018-2019) marcou o regresso desta artista excecional a Serralves e integrou a exposição mais completa da obra de Jonas, organizada pela Tate Modern em parceria com a Fundação de Serralves.
A sobreposição de espelhos e imagens refletidas experimentados em Mirror Piece I & II (1969/2018-2019) são dispositivos marcantes e metáforas recorrentes na sua obra. O seu uso abre a discussão sobre a função da representação e a relação entre artista e espectador, bem como sobre os conceitos de realidade e referência, imagem e reprodução.
Nesta peça, vários performers executam uma série de ações cuidadosamente coreografadas usando espelhos e vidros que fragmentam o espaço de representação e multiplicam a imagem de públicos e performers. Nunca registada em filme, Jonas baseou a sua reconstrução em apontamentos e fotografias que, a partir da sensação e imagens recolhidas, lhe permitiram criar novos movimentos e configurações.
A reconstrução da peça em Serralves foi realizada pela artista, acompanhada pela diretora de movimento Nefeli Skarmea e interpretada por um coletivo de quinze performers (Catarina Marcos, Catarina Vilar Marques, Diana Oliveira Vieira, Douglas Melo, Guilherme de Sousa, Helena Martos, Maria Falcão, Josefa Pereira da Silva, Leonor Mendes, Liliana Oliveira, Magda Almeida, Sancha Meca Castro, Sara Santervás, Teresa Queirós e Valentina Parravicini).

Joan Jonas in "Fiction" - Season 7 - "Art in the Twenty-First Century" |...
In Sweden, pioneering artist Joan Jonas performs at both Umeå Jazzfestival with musician Jason Moran, and at Kulturhuset in Stockholm, where she reconfigures her 1969 performance Mirror Piece. Working in performance, video, installation, sculpture, and drawing, Jonas finds inspiration in mythic stories, investing texts from the past with the politics of the present. Wearing masks and drawing while performing on stage, Jonas disrupts the conventions of theatrical storytelling to emphasize potent symbols and critical self-awareness.
