Mike Paré, Sail Away Lady, 2007 |
28.
SAIL AWAY LADY BY UNCLE BUNT STEPHENS, 1926 REMIX: MIKE PARE, SAIL AWAY LADY, 2007 This song was played by Stephens when he won one of Henry Ford’s fiddle contests, which were part of his celebration of what he considered to be the “good old music”. Paré describes his approach "This work speaks to Smith's love of pattern, and his amazing ability to relate things as diverse as old timey 78's and easter eggs. Sail Away Lady is a folk song that was a dance hit in it's own time, and it's fast, repetitive pattern is tripped out." His work explores youth culture, particularly of the 1960s and with his drawings of the Black Light Folk Festival, exploring rebellion, idealism and brotherhood. Paré’s work has recently been seen in solo exhibitions at White Columns and ATM Gallery in New York. His drawings have appeared in Vilma Gold Gallery in London; Mama Showroom in Rotterdam; D'Amelio Terras Gallery in New York and Marres Gallery, Maastricht. www.mikepare.com |
