DANIEL DAVID FREEMAN : DEITY

Inspired by an eclectic mix of culturally specific and cult references
such as action heroes, comics, colourful B-movie posters and dancehall
album artwork, DDF works in felt-tip pen and pencil to create his own
comics, self-published zines, editorial illustrations, commissioned
posters and clothing artwork.

Deity, an imaginary Afro hair care brand conceived and existing in
DDF’s head, is an installation of both drawings and adapted
ready-mades inspired by traditional hand-painted African barber shop
signs and the message of faith and happiness that both these and early
House music (another one of DDF’s influences) are founded on.

Deity dictates a positive propaganda and a belief in the ‘Good Life!’

Daniel David Freeman graduated from Camberwell College of Art in 2008.
Throughout the three years of his BA Illustration course he was a part
of the Crystal Vision collective, exhibiting with its other members at
the ICA and Jaguar Shoes. Since graduating DDF has exhibited in a
group show at Chapter One together with Marcus Oakley, Jiro Bevis and
Colin Henderson amongst others and a 2-man show at Old Shoreditch with
Paddy Jones. He has also produced commissioned work for clients like
Vice Magazine, Dazed and Confused and Adidas.

P.V : Thursday 20th May - 7pm onwards.
The Old Shoreditch Station,
1 Kingsland Road E2 8AA
Drinks provided by Russian Standard Vodka.

VICE INTERVIEW

Regarding Reely and Truly

A few guys we know are putting on the third of their regular film events at the Notting Hill Arts Club. Reely and Truly is a series of screenings of old and new short films followed by a party. Sounds like fun. We had a chat with Ali about tonight’s film spectacular so you can know what to expect. Vice: So, tell us about the event. What is it, where is it, and who is behind it?

Ali: The idea was to resurrect Mark Lebon’s film night, Reely. He set it up in the late 80s in what used to be Kensington Market. I approached Tyrone, Mark’s son and the brains behind DoBeDo, and we came up with Reely and Truly. The Reely and Truly team consists of Tyrone Lebon, Mark Lebon, Phoebe Collings James and Alexander Hislop – that’s me. Each month we open with an hour of short films curated by DoBeDo, featuring the work of both young filmmakers and some of the original Reely contributors. We also invite a guest photographer each month to shoot and project an exclusive slide show that plays as the visual accompaniment to the party that happens after the screening. No VJs, we promise.

Thank Christ for that. So the event will be a monthly mix of old and new films?
Yeah, we have a load of films by some of the original contributors, lots of Super 8 and then a bunch of new stuff from DoBeDo contributors. This month’s highlights include an animation of a woman and her excrement, a sexy animation and a short about Yuletide indigestion. There is no brief; we end up showing a pretty eclectic range of stuff.

And after the films you have a party? Sounds like a nice way to round off some excrement animation.
Yeah! Fun. Lots of drinking and playing records. You should come.

I can’t, because I am at the premiere of this, but if I could I would.
The guys also produce a great-looking zine to accompany each of the shows, which they give away free to the first 50 film lovers through the door.

FERVENT MOON

Fervent Moon was founded in 2007; its online ambition is to promote and provide rare music to a wider audience and more recently the distribution of photography books and zines.
Fervent Moon began its formative years offering music from its creators and friends. In our eyes there was lots of music that was neither easily available or given the appreciation it deserved. We addressed this situation by offering a weekly selection of overlooked tracks - one mp3 a day (for a period of 7 days) selected by our in-house or guest contributors. The projects development has resulted in the creation of a catalogue, growing daily and viewed by an increasing audience.
Fervent Moon’s physical presence has grown through various exhibitions and productions, including films, sculptures, installations, prints, and photography publications.

2010 sees the further development of both online and physical releases, with a selection of exciting collaborators to a growing audience.
In the coming weeks we have a fantastic array of guest contributers offering their selections for your pleasure, keep stopping by for the daily updates.

Fervent Moon will be playing a the next Reely and Truly , Dec 8th , more info soon ...

MAGIC AND HAPPINESS

18 NOVEMBER - 22 NOVEMBER 2009
PRIVATE VIEW 18 NOVEMBER 6 PM

VULPES VULPES
UNIT 4, PROUT ROAD, E5 9NP, LONDON

Ceylan Projects is pleased to present Magic & Happiness, a group show curated around an essay by Giorgio Agamben.

BEN CATON, STAN IORDANOV, ED LEHAN, ROY NNAWUCHI, ANNA MARGRETHE PEDERSEN, BEN SCHUMACHER, EMMA SHERIDAN

‘Whatever we can achieve through merit and effort, cannot make us truly happy. <...> What a disaster if a woman loved you because you deserved it! <...> [T]here is only one way of achieving happiness on this earth: to believe in the divine and not to aspire to reach it (there is an ironic variation of this in a conversation between Franz Kafka and Gustav Janouch, when Kafka affirms that there is plenty of hope - but not for us). That apparently ascetic thesis becomes intelligible only if we understand the meaning of this “not for us”. It means not that happiness is reserved only for others (happiness is, precisely, for us) but that it awaits us only at the point where it was not destined for us. That is: happiness can be ours only through magic.’

- Giorgio Agamben, Magic and Happiness

Famous for his original readings and interpretations of texts, Giorgio Agamben is a contemporary Italian philosopher. His work, be it political theory or his early essays on art, stems from an interest in the relationship between the notions ofwork and happiness. Magic and Happiness, from which this exhibition takes its name and vocation, is an essay that brings Agamben’s thought to its very roots and now more than ever appears as a strikingly accurate criticism of the modern condition. In a moment where currencies like merit and effort are devalued precisely because they no longer stand as guarantees for the Western ideal of happiness, we are once again to reconsider what happiness is and how to achieve it.

Magic & Happiness group show showcases new work by seven artists who have challenged mainstream perception of happiness through different mediums including sculpture, installation, painting and sound. The work is as naive as it is cynical expressing both fascination and distrust towards the decadence of contemporary culture.
