THE TRUTH. April 17, 2008
David Ellis is the truth. A true artist and out of all the contemporaries that have risen through the past 2 decades, he is one of my favorites. Theory recently asked David to do a live recorded paint session that spanned a week for their ICON PROJECT Series. According to Theory, "Ellis' paintings are often recorded in a form of digital time-lapse animation, which he calls "motion painting,” and screened with music or sound performances to interpret his works live. Ellis has been included in a variety of prestigious group exhibitions both in the United States, and abroad. His motion painting videos have been screened at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. +++ Erykah Badu's new Album (New Amerykah Part One) is the truth. I gotta be honest. The first 3-5 times I listened to it; I didn't know where the hell Erykah was going. First, you have to play it in your headphones. Makes a big difference as opposed to playing on your stereo as background music. Then after about the 5th time...it just clicks. And in an instant, it goes from being cryptic to being a masterpiece. "I STAY WOKE." +++ A friend of mine stopped by the other day and we had a nice long discussion about THE TRUTH. It's interesting what people read and what people believe. Sometimes, the truth is simply one question away from being discovered. People are quick to judge. People are quick to point fingers and quick to blame. (I might have been guilty of this as well.) But how many people actually stopped and just asked "what really happened?" No one really knows and no one really needs to know. What's important is that homey is still smiling. Big up EDC. |
