Pablo Fiasco

[invisibleplanet]

I was wowed by the visuals and costumes for Super_Collider's show at dedbeat, and I'm informed that these are the creations of Pablo Fiasco. I must confess that I am not familiar with his work, so I'd love it if other board members could provide some more infos.

danke in voraus

He is a dude. He does all sorts of stuff, loads of stencil graf (there were pieces of his all over brighton), costumes, the cover for Rescate 137, he makes films and does community video workshop stuff. He made a wicked film about graf where he spray painted directly onto super-8. Super-8 projections and general visual madness at clubnights. A bit of a rennaissance man I'd say. Three cheers for Pablo, hurrah!

[deccard]

here are some stencil works by him.

pablo didnt do the cover for rescate 137, that was red design

he did the muddlin gear artwork
one of his stencils was cut up by mat consume for the cover of busca invisibles. he also did some stencilling of cris and jamie for the "it wont be long" cd / 12 artwork

i produced a film he did on Req's graf for skint records which was never released but some clips apparently made onto the recent "we are skint" comp

he's done a lot of stuff for sure, the above is a mere fraction.

"There have been a lot of books documenting urban street art in recent years, most of them focusing on the kind of 'piece' graffiti work that grew out of the New York scene of the mid '70s to '80s. Some are great, and, like the graffiti work itself, some aren't. One that is very fine, and that focuses instead on the specifics of the stencil genre of urban art, is Tristan Manco's Stencil Grafitti (Thames and Hudson, £9.95).

Manco is himself a practising stencil artist and has been documenting examples from around the world's streets for the past fifteen years. Over 400 of those examples are collected in this book, and there's much to look at. From anonymous anti-capitalist protest works and Shephard Fairey's 'Andre the Giant' and 'Obey' pieces (with a nod to Jenny Holzer) to Thomas Baumgaertel's banana paintings (with more than a nod to Warhol/VU); through Bansky's fabulous ape motif pieces from around London to Pablo Fiasco's amazingly detailed typewriters and a host of points in between, this collection is frequently delightful, insightful and provocative. At its best, to quote artist Nylon, stencil graffiti breathes 'life into derelict spaces', and also integrates the image within 'the texture of the street' (Shephard Fairey), bringing together cultures in the cracks between the homogeny of the mass mediated society.

For anyone with an interest in design, or in urban culture, this book is an essential read."

Good book, it's actually one of the top-selling art books in the UK.

messagesacomin video (http://www.no-future.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=587) featuring the sound of Super_Collider, and the superb imagery of Pablo Fiasco.
dirtyho says it was shot in Berlin.

to view this u need the free real player (http://forms.real.com/real/realone/intl/intl_realone.html?dc=353433&type=rd_en_uk_1&lang=en&loc=uk&src=uk-r1ecp_choice_1) from realone.

i really like that video, wish there was a much higher quality version though.

[aleks]

sometimes you see it running on german tv...if you are very, very lucky!

[mattp]

Was Pablo involved in the recent semi-conductor DVD at all ?

[CV]

no , he wasn't .. but he is a good friend and old accomplice of Semi-Conductor...

We aim to put up a higher quality compress as soon as we can ... now we have our FTP server space , this is a real possibility!

[Loz]

Any chance of having most, if not all the No Future/Erutufon videos up there?

I have an amazingly low quality version of the It Won't Be Long video, and would love a better one.

That was the song and video that brought me into the world of Erutufon, after all.

[dirtyho]

I can do that for you if you want cris. I work doing video compression on the web at the moment.

[Will O The Wisp]

i'd love to see Head On, Absolute Time, Body Mapping videos
Are there any clips from Beggining to understand or Specific ??

[amble]

there's a video for specific momentific, for 'gigantic tautological machinery'. it's quite good! i remember caleidoscopes and industrial buildings.

i'd love to have the vid for 'bite and scratch' if possible. i owe that video a lot cos it was the track that got me into cristians work and it's still one of my favourites (the part in the end when the melodie gets lounder suddenly awakes dead...)

[MUX]

the improvised style he uses during the thursday with the digital camera live footage and the old real movies was amazing stuff.
he's fast moving on stage.. and u gotta keep him in the corner of yr eye all show..
But the scratching air guitar trick killed me both shows... my teeth just shake-shake-shaked

originally by Clerk Kant, http://www.nuisance.org.uk
The graffiti artist leaves messages acknowledging the voice of an underground. The graffiti artist does not function in isolation. (S)he is part of a movement, often linked with music or more overt forms of ideology. Graffiti does not represent a totalization of its ideology- "this sign is added, occurs as a surplus, as a supplement." (p.132ibid) this movement of supplementarity should accommodate the changes, progressions and advances in perception and communication of the community or movement

I've only come across the graffiti in Berlin in the mid nineties. I saw ideals and confessions on walls the size of five storey houses. Immense. There seems to be no objection to it.

Regent Street in Brighton's north lanes (behind the swimming pool & adjacent to the gravel car park) carries an exellent example of mr fiasco's werk. Check the melting type writer at the south end of the road.
