Leonard Cohen - Kanye West is not Picasso
Kanye West is not Picasso
I am Picasso
Kanye West is not Edison
I am Edison
I am Tesla
Jay-Z is not the Dylan of anything
I am the Dylan of anything
I am the Kanye West of Kanye West
The Kanye West
Of the great bogus shift of bullshit culture
From one boutique to another
I am Tesla
I am his coil
The coil that made electricity soft as a bed
I am the Kanye West Kanye West thinks he is
When he shoves your ass off the stage
I am the real Kanye West
I don't get around much anymore
I never have
I only come alive afte...
Corn Shuk Mei Ho - The Black Series: Night Swims
“The Black Series: Night Swims” (2017-18) is a project which continues my journey to dive into the dark waters of the human psyche. The characters depicted in the paintings reflect a state of feelings including isolation, solitude, uncertainty and fear. The reflections dancing off of the dark waters surface are a symbolic description of these hidden emotions. They mirror the feelings of the characters as if they were like nocturnal animals that are only comfortable to feed and hunt in the...

Rondeau & Scarlatti
Jean Rondeau, the French harpsichordist, performs Domenico Scarlatti’s mercurial Sonata K. 175 A Minor: Allegro, offering a first taste of his new album, released on 19th October. It is devoted to 20 of Scarlatti’s endlessly inventive sonatas – he wrote some 550 of these compact, colourful and captivating works. https://wnrcl.me/rondeauscarlatti
“When it comes to music, dishonesty simply has no place – there can be no falsity,” says Jean Rondeau. “Harpsichord repertoire is about unlocking...
Inframen
To be a dancer is to work your body to the breaking point. In the project Inframen, Nir Arieli creates a series of portraits using an infrared technique that reveals blemishes that lie under the dancer's abused skin, like scars, stretch marks, sun damage, etc. Like a form of voyeurism, this photographic process strips away the dancer's outer shell, exposing hidden flaws. In Inframen, the surface of the skin becomes a metaphor for the dancer's interiority.

Sam Sax - On PrEP or on Prayer [“when i say pre-exposure prophylaxis”]
you think
easy fix. greek in origin. an act of guarding.
east of here a small temple.
inside parishioners strip nude
as armless statues, their stone
genitals hardening under a chemist’s glare.
the garden out front fecund & tended.
the garden inside bare.
when i say tenofovir disoproxil
you think
chemical names. saint names. names without origin.
an unpronounceable string of letters. the generic names
of petty angels. the drug’s molecular makeup applied in

Sam Sax - On PrEP or on Prayer [“spare us your burial rites”]
spare us the first rib
the flood, the resurrection
spare us your dairy & meats
your belief in a life after this one
heaven’s a city
we’ve been priced out of
our mothers fled
for more affordable children
for the price of liver
heaven wants nothing
to do with pleasure
on earth
on this
the occasion of my brother’s wedding
i need something awful
done to my body
heaven’s a boy
who wants me to crawl
through his mother’s midnight-window
heaven’s the condom splitting into light
hea...
