Summary
The great lie about art is that it’s original. When a work is called ‘original’ or ‘innovative’, what we’re looking at is an original way of ordering familiar elements. Whenever I go about trying to understand an artist or a body of work for this show, I start with their influences, with what has been rearranged. With clipping. (punctuation intentional), this is easy. The very texture of this experimental rap group is influence. Their horrifying, conceptual, noise music-inspired work is a tapestry of sounds, of samples, of movie references, conscious aping of other styles. They don’t pretend to be unprecedented. Their Spotify bio will tell you all about the musical roots of their latest album; it’ll show you half a dozen playlists full of their favourite songs, one is called ‘precedent’. James Charalambides loves clipping. He loves the things that clipping. loves, too. It’s possible they’re reordering the same elements. For James, they come out as films, horror films mostly. We talk influence and exploitation to try and get to the bottom of his love. James is on instagram @charalambides.james Instagram @loveandcontentpod Twitter @lovecontentpod
