Secant
av John Wiese
”Secant” är ett videoverk där duovarianten av grindcore-bandet Sissy Spacek gör en hyllning till den konceptuelle konstnären GX Jupitter-Larsen. Hans projekt The Haters har gjort ökända performance-föreställningar där man sprängt kullar i Kalifornien med dynamit, krossat glas på klubbar och gjort allmänt upprorsliknande events.
John Wiese (f. 1977) är designer, konstnär och kompositör baserad i Los Angeles. Han är en legend inom den underjordiska noise-scenen och har släppt över 150 plattor, singlar och kassetter. Han har gjort mängder av samarbeten, turnerat världen över och är medlem i Sissy Spacek.

“PURPLE RAIN: TERROR BEYOND BELIEF shines a darker shade of purple on the ‘greatest music movie of them all.’ If ‘Darling Nikki’ was all it took for Tipper Gore to start the PMRC, one wonders what PR:TBB might have done for the MPAA. Unlike other works of appropriation which selectively reorganize ‘bites’ into a new decontexualized construct, PR:TBB pushes an existing, diegetic act of violence a few cinematic degrees further, and then lets the third act play through (albeit without Apollonia’s presence). This is PURPLE RAIN as you have seen it before (yet not).”

FRIDAY JANUARY 27 – 7:30 PM
Having brought to our audience such spectacular single-work détournements like THE SHINING FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS and TOUGH GUYS, we are now pleased to premiere Los Angeles-based artist John Wiese’s 2014 effort PURPLE RAIN: TERROR BEYOND BELIEF.
Described by Wiese himself as “a new edit of PURPLE RAIN where Prince murders Apollonia and gets away with it,” PR:TBB shines a darker shade of purple on the “greatest music movie of them all.” If “Darling Nikki” was all it took for Tipper Gore to start the PMRC, one wonders what PR:TBB might have done for the MPAA.
Unlike other works of appropriation which selectively reorganize “bites” into a new decontexualized construct, PR:TBB pushes an existing, diegetic act of violence a few cinematic degrees further, and then lets the third act play through (albeit without Apollonia’s presence). This is PURPLE RAIN as you have seen it before (yet not).

JOHN WIESE
An artist and composer living in Los Angeles, John Wiese began experimenting with recording as a teenager and has since gone on to become a highly respected figure, both in the academic world of contemporary sound art as well as within the international experimental music underground. His music ranges from the serene and sublime to the frenetic and irregular, a sign of his ability to adapt and utilize a plethora of sounds to build captivating aural works. As a performer and recording artist, his expertise in composition, texture, and experimentation with sound is not restricted to work under his own name. Wiese is also known for his influential grind/noisecore band Sissy Spacek, extreme electronics unit LHD, and for his numerous collaborations with some of the finest experimental artists from around the world. He is also an accomplished visual and graphic artist with a long list of exhibitions and printed materials published across the globe. For his program at Anthology, Wiese will present eight film pieces that incorporate elements of documentation, narrative, and abstraction, using image, sound, and often silence, to create a visual score for both real and imagined sound.

These programs are collected under the rubric SHOW & TELL, to emphasize the presence of the filmmakers at each and every program.
