The sentence “Your gaze hits the side of my face” phrase first appeared in an 1981 artwork along with the profile of an anonymous classical bust. A phrasing that suggests that such a gaze is impertinent. When it comes to the lens of a camera Barbara Kruger says: ‘What it menas to put a camera at another person, I think there is a brutality about that.’

Continuing his exploration of collage and the visualization of sound these partly unique prints utilize imagery from Manga comics, originally published in Japan and translated for the US market, and onomatopoeic words. Since the late 1990s, Marclay has created “graphic” scores, non-traditional forms of notation, for improvisational interpretation by musicians and vocal performers.

JEREMY DELLER, Voodoo Ray / Ooh-oo-hoo ah-ha ha yeah, 2013
12 inch vinyl
screen printed sleeve,
limited signed edition 50
published by The Vinyl Factory, London, UK
not available
In the summer of 2013 The Vinyl Factory collaborated with Deller on the soundtrack to ‘English Magic’, his film work exhibited in Venice in the same year; for which the music is composed of three cover versions of classic British songs: ‘Voodoo Ray’, ‘The Man Who Sold The World’ (by David Bowie) and ‘Symphony in D Minor’ (by Ralph Vaughan Williams) and played by the Melodians Steel Orchestra, an English/Trinidadian steel band, and produced by Deller at Abbey Road Studios.
The Melodians Steel Orchestra performed at both the Pavilion’s official inauguration on the 29th May 2013 and later that evening at The Vinyl Factory & British Council party on the Isla Vignole, Venice, alongside with Scottish DJ/duo Optimo, long-time friends and collaborators with Deller. A remix of three track 12″ features with vocal, instrumental and bonus beats by Scottish DJ/duo Optimo.
Inspired by this party, here JD Twitch from Optimo has remixed ‘Voodoo Ray’ into a joyous piano-house stomper in a vein similar to the now hard-to-find Frankie Knuckles re-work from back in the day, with vocals from the Melodians.
In 2001 The Vinyl Factory began as a pressing company after purchasing the manufacturing equipment from EMI. For two years, they completed orders left over from EMI’s company, which helped to keep and maintain a loyal customer base. In 2008, it expanded into a record label. The Vinyl Factory has presented solo exhibitions by Ragnar Kjartansson, Ryoji Ikeda, Carsten Nicolai, a.o.

Ragnar Kjartansson says the following about this work: “It was Christmas night, 1998, and I was sitting in the living room with my father. Everyone else had gone to bed, the candles were burning out, and rain was falling on the Christmas snow outside. My father usually gets a bit drunk at Christmas and feels it’s important to use the festive occasion to instruct his son in the principles of life. This Christmas he was in a particularly good mood. We were smoking cigars and he had a glass of cognac in his hand. Suddenly, his breath heavy, he said: “Ragnar, I need to tell you something, and it is the most important thing that I will ever tell you.” He closed his eyes and there was a long silence. Then he said: “It is beautiful but sad to be a human being.” It had a profound effect on me. Now this truthful contradiction decorates the Globe of Goodwill.”
