DAVID LYNCH:
BETWEEN TWO WORLDS

I make films because I like to go into another world. I like to get lost
in another world. Film is a magical medium that allows you to dream
in the dark.
David Lynch
‘David Lynch: Between Two Worlds’ explores the work of renowned
American artist and filmmaker David Lynch. Developed closely
with Lynch, the QAGOMA exhibition features more than 200 works,
illustrating his wide-ranging oeuvre — drawing, painting, printmaking,
photography, music, film and video.
The uniqueness of QAGOMA as an art gallery with a purpose-built
cinema offers an opportunity to revisit Lynch’s singular cinematic
style alongside his studio work. Lynch’s feature films screen weekly
in a chronological and reverse-chronological order, while a series
of shorts programs brings together early experimental films, works
made for television, music videos and digital projects. Documentaries
also provide a deeper understanding of the ideas underlying Lynch’s
distinct approach to art and life.
Lynch’s short film
Scissors
2007 also screens as part of the exhibition
in GOMA’s Cinema B.

SPECIAL EVENTS
XIU XIU PLAYS THE MUSIC OF TWIN PEAKS
7.00pm, Friday 17 & Saturday 18 April 2015
|
TICKETED
The music of Twin Peaks is everything that we aspire to as
musicians and is everything that we want to listen to as music fans.
It is romantic, it is terrifying, it is beautiful, it is unnervingly sexual.
The idea of holding the ‘purity’ of the 1950s up to the cold light
of a violent moon and exposing the skull beneath the frozen,
worried smile has been a stunning influence on us.
Xiu Xiu
The music of television series
Twin Peaks
by composer Angelo
Badalamenti and David Lynch is given a makeover in this special
performance by acclaimed group Xiu Xiu (USA). Led by Jamie
Stewart, Angela Seo and Shayna Dunkelman, the music of Xiu Xiu
eschews simple description. It’s a complex mix of post punk and
synth pop, classical and experimental styles, full of brutality and
emotional depth. Xiu Xiu’s performance isn’t simply a recreation of
the music of
Twin Peaks
, but provides an entirely new interpretation;
one emphasising its chaos, drama, fear, noise and sidelong leering
glances. Be warned: Bob will be the conductor.
HEXA — FACTORY PHOTOGRAPHS
6.00pm, Sunday 19 April 2015
|
TICKETED
HEXA is a project by Australian composer and artist Lawrence
English and Xiu Xiu’s Jamie Stewart exploring the physicality
of sound and its ability to infiltrate, abrade and occupy the body.
For ‘David Lynch: Between Two Worlds’, HEXA presents a new
composition responding to Lynch’s photographs of disused factories
and the ruins of industry. Using the factory photographs as both
a literal and metaphoric source, their performance draws from
the texture of Lynch’s images, the imagined and actual spaces,
and the spectral histories contained within them. The composition
will convey ‘cascading low frequency pulses and tectonic plates
of sound, suspended in cavernous cathedral-like spaces’.
