Cornelia Parker is an English sculptor and installation artist who's work has been concerned with formalizing things beyond control, containing the volatile and making it into something that is quiet and contemplative like the eye of the storm. Of late she concentrated on issues such as globalization, consumerism as well as mass-media.


She talks about her work, including blowing up a garden shed (picture above) and steamrolling stuff in these 2 video2 below:

Sun Ra: Brother From Another Planet


Full documentary from the BBC4


Sun Ra was born on the planet Saturn some time ago. The best accounts agree that he emerged on Earth as Herman Blount, born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1914, although Sun Ra himself always denied that Blount was his surname. He returned to Saturn in 1993 after creating a stunningly variegated and beautiful assemblage of earthly and interplanetary music, most notably with his fervently loyal Arkestra.

Sun Ra and his Arkestra were the subject of a few documentary films, notably Robert Mugge's 'A Joyful Noise' (1980), which interspersed performances and rehearsals with Sun Ra's commentary on various subjects ranging from today's youth to his own place in the cosmos.

Today's documentary, Don Letts' 'Sun Ra, Brother From Another Planet' from 2005, reuses some of Mugge's material and includes some additional interviews.
