Jenna Gribbon

Jenna Gribbon was born in 1978 in Knoxville, USA, and lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. She received her MFA from Hunter College. Gribbon’s paintings of nudes pay homage to the moment when light touches skin. Her lush brush strokes capture her friends, son and girlfriend in intimate portraits. Her work carefully examines the implications and responsibilities of looking through what she calls a ‘scopophilic feedback loop’. Thereby, the titles provide a key for a complete understandin...

Afrique Victime

Mdou Moctar - "Afrique Victime"

Africa is a victim of so many crimes,
If we stay silent it will be the end of us.
Why is this happening? What is the reason behind this?
My brothers and sisters, tell me why is this happening?

Africa is a victim of so many crimes,
If we stay silent it will be the end of us.
Why is this happening? What is the reason behind this?

My brothers and sisters, tell me why is this happening?

From prison to Nobel prize. They ceded to Mandela

Nobody Knows We Are Fun

CHAI - Nobody Knows We Are Fun - Official Music Video

「私たちが最高ってこと、みんな気づいてなくない？」
「たしかに！それはやばい」
「ビビってんのかな〜私たちに♡」
「格好つけんなよって感じ〜」
「何でもいいけど、最高なのに変わりはないからいんじゃない？」
「まちがいない♡♡」
そんな曲！きいて調子こいてこ〜♡

“It’s like ‘Nobody Knows We Are Fun,’ right?!”
“Seriously! Not cool!”
“Perhaps they underestimate us? ♡”
“Or maybe they are like ‘don’t be a show off!’”
“Say what you want! What matters is that despite always being ourselves and never changing, we are still the most FUN!”
“Totally!! ♡♡”
“It’s that type of song! Take a lis...

Garden

Dinosaur Jr. will release their new album, Sweep It Into Space, on April 23rd via Jagjaguwar. Today, they present the album’s second single, “Garden,” which follows “I Ran Away,” “a masterful mix of rhythmic acoustic guitar and electric guitar riffs” (Paste). As is typical, Lou Barlow writes and sings two of the album’s dozen tunes, and “Garden” is perhaps his finest contribution to a Dinosaur Jr. record yet. It’s a mid-paced ballad with genteel guitar filigree giving it a ’60 Brit feel in spot...

You kiss by th' book

Jessie Buckley and Josh O’Connor are Juliet and Romeo in a bold new film from the National Theatre.

    ROMEO
[To JULIET.] If I profane with my unworthiest hand
    This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this,—
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
    To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

    JULIET
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
    Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims’ hands do touch,
    And palm to palm is holy palmers’ kiss.

    R...
