Man Ray

L'Etoile de Mer (1928)

Retour à la Raison (1923) on Art or Nothing

"Acquiring a roll of a hundred feet of film, I went into my darkroom and cut up the material into short lengths, pinning them down on the worktable. On some strips I sprinkled salt and pepper, like a cook preparing a roast, on other strips I threw pins and thumbtacks at random; then I turned on the white light for a second or two, as I had done for my still Rayographs. Then I carefully lifted the film off the table, shaking off the debris, and developed it in my tanks. The next morning, when dry, I examined the work; the salt, pins and tacks were perfectly reproduced."

Man Ray described the process of creating Retour in his Self-Portrait.

Man Ray, Unconcerned But Not Indifferent - Video by art-in-tv.

Clip from the European exhibition tour; curator John Jacob at Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin.

Unconcerned But Not Indifferent follows the chronology of Man Ray's four working periods geographically: New York, Paris, Los Angeles, Paris. Alongside examples of Man Ray's most important works, the exhibition presents a selection of little-known works, preparatory sketches, documentation of finished pieces, as well as personal documents and objects that belonged to the artist. By placing his artwork in relation to the objects and images from which he drew inspiration, the exhibition creates a distinctive context for the experience and appreciation of Man Ray's extraordinarily wide-ranging creative production.


Naissance de l'esprit dada

Hans Richter

Dreams that Money Can Buy
Scene from "Dreams That Money Can Buy" by Hans Richter (1947), song by Leonard Cohen, "Hey that's no way to say goodbye" (1968).

The plot:
Joe/Narcissus (Jack Bittner) is an ordinary man who has recently signed a complicated lease on a room. As he wonders how to pay the rent, he discovers that he can see the contents of his mind unfolding whilst looking into his eyes in the mirror. He realises that he can apply his gift to others ("If you can look inside yourself, you can look inside anyone!"), and sets up a business in his room, selling tailor-made dreams to a variety of frustrated and neurotic clients. Each of the seven surreal dream sequences in the diegesis is in fact the creation of a contemporary avant-garde and/or surrealist artist, as follows:

Desire - Max Ernst (Director/Writer)
The Girl with the Prefabricated Heart - Fernand Léger (Director/Writer)
Ruth, Roses and Revolvers - Man Ray (Director/Writer)
Discs - Marcel Duchamp (Writer)
Ballet - Alexander Calder (Director/Writer)
Circus - Alexander Calder (Writer)
Narcissus - Hans Richter (Director/Writer)

The Girl with the Prefabricated Heart from Dreams That Money Can Buy.

Ghosts before breakfast

A silent movie from 1927 by Hans Richter. Music by Nikolai von Sallwitz. Shown and performed at 'Cine-Concerts' Hamburg 2008.

Erik Satie : Dada Works & Entr'actes

Bojan Gorisek (Piano)
CD audio (16 janvier 2007)
Label: LTM
ASIN : B000JJRVSQ
25,77 euros

An enthusiastic Dada activist in Paris between 1920 and 1924, Satie collaborated extensively with Tristan Tzara, Man Ray, Pablo Picasso and Jean Cocteau, wrote often in Francis Picabia's journal 391, and was a sworn enemy of the proto-Surrealist faction lead by Andre Breton. According to Man Ray, Satie was "the only composer who had eyes." All of Satie's principle Dada-related works are included on this unique 70 minute CD, including: Trois morceaux en forme de poire, performed by Satie in July 1923 at Tzara's notorious Soirée du Coeur à barbe, at which fighting broke out between Tzara's supporters and the proto-Surrealist faction; Ragtime Dada, an extract from the ballet Parade performed at a series of Dada soirees by Kurt Schwitters in 1922; Entr'acte and Cinéma, both scores for Picabia's multi-media 'instantaneist' ballet Relâche performed in 1924. Cinéma was Satie's custom score for the celebrated intermission film by René Clair, while for their curtain call Satie and Picabia drove onstage in a tiny car, resplendent in jewels and furs, the whole production amounting to a dazzling act of anti-art provocation. Both are Satie's arrangements for solo piano. All pieces are performed on piano by Bojan Gorisek, and the booklet includes archive images and detailed historical notes by James Hayward.

Futurism & Dada reviewed LTMCD 2301
Sound collages, tone poems, interviews and music made between 1912 and 1959 by Marcel Duchamp, Kurt Schwitters, Tristan Tzara, Guillaume Apollinaire, Jean Cocteau, Marcel Janco, Richard Huelsenbeck. One hour of playing time.
Erik Satie
Vexations
LTMCD 2389
The extraordinary score for Vexations is just three lines long, yet a complete performance (840 repetitions) may last for between 14 and 28 hours. This radical yet enigmatic work is now recognized as a significant milestone in avant-garde music. This recording lasts only 70 minutes and is performed on piano by Alan Marks.
LTMCD 2424
Rare interviews and poetry readings by six key Dada anti-artists recorded between 1932 and 1967. All material has been digitally remastered, and the booklet features images and detailed historical notes by James Hayward. Intended as a companion volume to the other LTM releases: "Futurism & Dada Reviewed 1912-1959" and "Surrealism Reviewed", with little content overlap between the three releases - together they give an excellent perspective on the extreme and unusual ideas of that period, and the recordings that document them.
Erik Satie
