SANTOGOLD "Les Artistes" (PV).



Santogold are helping Peaches and Miss Kittin carry the torch lit by Nina Hagen, Ann Magnuson and Karen Finley years ago. There's not just avant garde performance art here, there's good music to back it up. Am I the only person who thinks the vocalist looks like Venus Williams?

Pierre et Gilles "Mercure".

Should I ever find myself in Paris, the one thing I will do just after I see the Eiffel Tower and right before hitting one of those legendary Parisian nightclubs is stop by the Galerie Jerome de Noirmont at 36-38 Avenue Matignon to seePierre et Gilles work on display, up close and personal. The artistic couple met at a Kenzo boutique opening and began collaborating artistically early in their relationship. Pierre shoots the work and Gilles paints over it. The results are striking and surreal. They have done some impressive work with Madonna, 80s punk Goddess, Nina Hagen and ad campaigns for designer Jean Paul Gaultier, to name but a few of their great accomplishments.
