Panel Borders: Sussex to South Asia and stops in-between

Continuing a month of shows about travel in comic books and graphic novels, this week’s Panel Borders looks at the work of two young graphic novelists whose work is published by Jonathan Cape. Alex Fitch talks to Julian Hanshaw about his new collection of short stories, I’m Never Coming Back which includes his award winning entry to the Observer / Cape Graphic Short Story Prize, and his previous graphic novel The Art of Pho, which both depict magical-realist stories of travel around the globe.

Also, in a talk given at Laydeez do Comics earlier this year, Hannah Berry discusses her second graphic novel, Adamtime, which tells the tale of a group of people trapped on a mysterious, sedentary train in the middle of the night, the paths that lead them there and their attempts to escape. (Originally broadcast 21/10/12 on Resonance FM)

Wavelength – Destruction in Art part 14.

“With an extreme rigour evocative of Pol Pot’s visions of the same period for the future of Year Zero Cambodia, Otto Muehl, one of the Vienna Actionists, demanded the eradication of all books, languages, art works, music and factories; the famines that will result from these systematic destructions are to be welcomed (human bodies can then ingest one another in a lethal sexual pandaemonium, with the weakest being consumed first). Muehl also warmly advocated incest, filmed orgies and all kinds of bestiality, and attempts to eradicate the distinction between human and animal life; however, he demands the extermination of all ‘useless animals’ together with the destruction of forests and cities…” from The Art of Destruction, The Films of the Vienna Action Group by Stephen Barber. Music by Dieter Roth, Gerhard Ruhm and Oswald Wiener; Berliner Dichter Workshop 1973, and both sides of the single Psycho-Motorik Musik by Otto Muehl.

Wavelength – Destruction in Art part 13. Niki de St. Phalle. Arman.

Letter from Niki de St. Phalle to Pontus Hulten: “In 1961 I shot at canvases because shooting allowed me to express the aggression that I felt. An assassination without a victim. I shot because I liked seeing the canvas bleed and die. I shot to reach that magical instant, that ecstasy. It was a moment of truth, I trembled with passion when I shot at my paintings”. Four tracks from 2010 by Pierre Henry in memory of Arman composed for the recent retrospective at the Pompidou.

The Opera Hour – series 2/episode 3

Opera singer Richard Scott explores opera through the prism of various themes – politics, power, greed, the abominable, magic, lust, comedy.
This weeks opera hour looks at when poetry and opera collide. We’ll be asking the question, what happens when a composer commissions a poet to write their libretto?

Art Monthly Talk Show on Resonance104.4 FM, 12th October 2012

Paul O’Kane and Sophie J Williamson discuss their features in the October 2012 issue of Art Monthly-

On Making Art by Paul O’Kane on the act of making and the making of the act The notion of creativity has been subjected to rigorous critique in the postmodern era but the act of making – the business of negotiating the idiosyncracies of the artist’s chosen medium – still remains central. In the digital age, however, the media of mundane labour and creative expression are often the same, so is it time for artists to reconceive the act of making and the making of the act?

The Artist as Cynic by Sophie J Williamson writes in praise of shamelessness.The scandalous Cynics of ancient Greece lived a life free from social restraint, speaking their minds – and indeed performing their bodily functions – in public and thereby exposing the hypocrisy and political motivations underlying most social conventions. Many performance artists, such as Marina Abramović and Cosey Fanni Tutti, have utilised similar techniques, but in an age of voluntary and involuntary surveillance through social networks, how have artists such as Christoph Schlingensief and Ai Weiwei tapped into the spirit of the Cynics for political protest?

 

The programme is hosted by Matt Hale who has worked at Art Monthly since 1991.
