| | cortical foundation press release... |
| “for me, those are the only two things that exist -- drones and love songs.” --stephen prina, purple.
...
“vinyl ii is a 16mm film commissioned on the occasion of departures: 11 artists at the getty. the result is twenty one and a half minutes of interlaced references, from seventeenth century devotional painting to andy warhol's 1965 film vinyl, which is a demented, black humored takeoff on anthony burgess's novel a clockwork orange [there are a total of 3 takes, for approximately 63 minutes of music].”
“and what about the music, the score, prina's entrance as singer? from the casting of the musicians -- affectless, nonprofessional actors that resemble bresson's 'models' --to the composition of the multipart, rigidly symmetrical piece of music, the two middle sections of which sound like unwritten songs by the beatles, brian wilson, burt bacharach, even schumann, everything seems extraordinarily decisive.”
"…prina much prefers the appellation "cultural producer" to "artist," valuing the special force and clumsiness of the term—a term that lends itself to the problematization of cultural expectations and the ideological maneuvers involved in fulfilling them. what is expected? by whom and why? what is the nature of the disappointment that results from the mismatch between a name and an image, a signature and a style? and what does it look like when prina makes such a disappointment productive?"
--tom holert.
...
since 1994, stephen prina has recorded and performed with the red krayola, appearing on amor and language, hazel, and fingerpainting. push comes to love, 1998, is his solo pop record, co-produced by david grubbs and jim o'rourke, available on drag city. |
