Description

//premise// Not too long ago I went to an exibition of Jean-Michel Basquiat at the Barbican Exibition Hall in London, where I used to live for many years. A few weeks prior to the event, a person who I have now lost, and she is the main inspiration for everything I do, saved my life from a situation I wasn't able to pull myself out. We both loved art but going to the exibition was just an excuse to keep my mind busy, she tried her best. With this video and music I have tried to describe that day: Barbican Center is one of my favourite place in London, it's a giant monster of beautiful architecture of red bricks and concrete with a heart of plants and water, and that's the reason why I wrote BARBICAN inside JMB' s hair in my piece, maybe I am the only one seeing the likeness to Basquiat's "plant shaped thick like concrete hair". "another nft same old shit" is my poem, I usually do NFT poems, and it has different meanings: the reference to copyright marked (M of metavertz) Basquiat's tag SAMO (same old shit), a reference to my mental healt and inability to feel anything that day even in front of such incredible beauty ( Basquiat's art and...hers ) and the third reference ( 3 like the Basquiat's crown peaks ) is the reference to my artistic style of quick writing on paper which I utilise most of the time. I have added a few flashy colours as a reminiscence of that day being surrounded by so many colours of Basquiat's art briefly penetrating the darkness of my mind. The music is by my good friend j0x29a and it's called "estate". That day wasn't happening during summer but the sky was clear and blue. The music is incredibly melancholic and I wanted to keep the original raw loop with no big adjustements in order to reflect on the anxiety of that precise moment. The music was essential here being Basquiat extremely influenced by music in his polyhedral approach to life and arts. There is a lot more I would love to let free going in this descriptions but as much as I believe that most demons must be released , I try to keep a few of them in, intact and alive, solely for myself and my fear of not being able to feel again. I have used acrylics , markers and 0.4 fineliner , everything on paper.
