Some Art(?) I have been recently enjoying

/ 2 min read

Music

Here are some albums that I have been enjoying recently:

  • The entire body of work by Pisse.
    The German Punk Band Pisse captures an energy that could barely try harder to be cool and avant-garde. Their EPs and songs embody remarkably compact and poignant descriptions of an often ironic usually pessimistic reality in which I have indulged myself for many, many hours

  • Introspezione by Opus Avantra.
    I absolutely adore this album. The lead singer has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever had the chance to listen to in my concious live. Introspezione and Opus Avantra gave me a new entry into chamber music, that I am extremly grateful to have gotten. The album is a definite Recommendation.

  • Innocence and Despair by The Langley Schools Music Project.

  • Schezerade and Other Stories by Renaissance.

Books

Some of the books I have read in the past months:

  • I have no mouth and I must scream by Harlan Ellison
  • Beautiful Boy by David Sheff
  • The Process by Franz Kafka
  • Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
  • The Stranger by Albert Camus
  • Demokratiedämmerung by Veit Selk

Visual Arts

  • L’Ange du foyer by Max Ernst [^1]
  • Loup Table Motiv by Victor Brauner One of my favorite motives in modern art are the wolfs in The Paintings of Victor Brauner, although I still have to find something written on it.
  • The Legend of Baker of Eeklo by Cornelis van Dalem
  • Garten der Lüste by Hieronymus Bosch
    Recently I picked up a short Introduction to the works of Michel Focault and have since been really intrigued by the concept of Madness in the Middle Ages. Though I don’t fully submit to the discrete historic understanding of his, I have been thoroughly enjoying the medieval perception of madness he has been describing. Hieronymus Bosch’s paintings, but also the ones of many others like Pieter Bruegel der Ältere, have been a great source of enjoyment in this regard.
