A Question Of Lust / Shannon Cartier Lucy
“Painting allows me to stay with things that are contradictory, unresolved, or difficult to explain.” In a time when the bizarre has become almost ordinary, what does it mean to remain genuinely other? A conversation that moves through the layers of normality and the authenticity of the absurd. Together with the artist, we question whether art can interrupt our habits of perception.

/by Editor NastyThe Brief Unseen / Anri Sala
For Sala, the experience of entering a world that had once been inaccessible became inseparable from the question of how we perceive and understand it. Growing up in Albania under communism and later arriving in Paris, he encountered a plethora of unfamiliar artistic forms, as well as an entirely different set of lenses through which to make sense of the world. That tension between the known and the newly imaginable continues to run through his practice. Across sound, image, language, material and time, Sala explores the spaces between perception and intuition, intention and accident, the tangible and the immaterial. His works ask us to question and dissolve the reality of what we see and hear, and what might exist in the interval between them.

He came out of punk, where saying no is a discipline, and then spent forty years declining to fight anything from outside. Virus went on air in Rome in 1993 — eight until midnight, every night, eight years — named for what enters a system unnoticed and changes it from inside. KEY Vinyl runs the same way: he turns down more records than he takes and sends honest feedback with every rejection, because a door was closed on him once in Berlin and he was told the DJ doesn't know you. He left Rome at the moment the city stopped letting him grow. Everything he has made: the radio, the label, the fifteen-hour closings is a way of getting back to the side of the booth he came from.

Twenty years in and the name changed back. ANTIPOP is what Neopop was called when it started in 2006. Pereira changed it in 2009, when the project took a different shape. Bringing it back now — one edition, no ambiguity — is the festival saying out loud what every choice it's made has been saying quietly for years.
