SHOOK Vol.1 #10 / Winter 2011 – The Great British issue: Entropy in the UK

In this issue, SHOOK tracks down the prodigal son, DJ Milo, who talks about the Wild Bunch sound system – the test laboratory for Massive Attack and ‘the Bristol Sound’; we celebrate the original pirate station turned legal Kiss FM, as we speak to many of the DJs from the station. We chat exclusively with Keith Mansfield whose music has been used by Dangermouse, Quentin Tarantino and Des Lynham. Bass is the place as we hear Mala reminisce about Metalheadz and DMZ, and we sit down with Sticky, the man who made Ms. Dynamite say Booo! We run down our survey of the UK’s record shops – from buying northern soul in Blackburn to reggae in Tottenham; and include stories on Queen of Lovers Rock, Carroll Thompson, Brit funkers Cymande and the very special United Vibrations; as well as teaching you how to run a record label, with Firecracker, RAMP Recordings and First Word. Plus we meet the new techno visionaries like Sei A and Wbeeza, and live it up in the Northern Quarter with Mr. Scruff, Graham Massey, Maddslinky and Hoya:Hoya

Penelope Umbrico – Desk Trajectories (As Is)

A new series by Penelope Umbrico, Desk Trajectories (As Is) includes found images of used office desks for sale on the Internet. This work serves as an answer to her continual interest in a certain optimism typically associated with fictions of unattainable lifestyles marketed for and lusted after by consumers.

These desks, once the definitive site of organization and productivity, now sit empty, dusty, and cumbersome ­ as awkward in their photographic frame as they are in the space in which they are pictured. The disorienting compositional space of the pictured flat planes inhibits the viewer to readily discern and give context to the objects presented. In these pictures, all efficiency, productivity, and elegance is in question ­ the mere fact that the desk is out of commission, being sold, points to an attendant deflation of these values.

Diwa Tamrong – Somebody Else’s Problem

Somebody Else’s Problem (SEP) is an ongoing series that explores the different ways an artist can loose control of their own work. Every new part to the series uses means of destruction, re-contextualization, collaboration and attempts of preservation in order to further investigate this notion. The work continues to grow with each version, but the artist’s control over the work dwindles as it falls into the hands of other people, disseminating through the internet and everything in between.
