Chris Jordan Exploring around our country's shipping ports and industrial yards, where the accumulated detritus of our consumption is exposed to view like eroded layers in the Grand Canyon, I find evidence of a slow-motion apocalypse in progress. I am appalled by these scenes, and yet also drawn into them with awe and fascination. The immense scale of our consumption can appear desolate, macabre, oddly comical and ironic, and even darkly beautiful; for me its consistent feature is a staggering complexity. The pervasiveness of our consumerism holds a seductive kind of mob mentality. As an American consumer myself, I am in no position to finger wag; but I do know that when we reflect on a difficult question in the absence of an answer, our attention can turn inward, and in that space may exist the possibility of some evolution of thought or action. ~cj, Seattle, 2005

Des athlètes parmi nous Suite à son projet autour du monde de la danse qui a remporté un vaste succès (à voir ou revoir ici), Jordan Matter revient avec un nouveau projet intitulé « Les athlètes parmi nous ». Cette série n’est pas véritablement accès sur le sport, mais sur la façon dont il est important d’atteindre les objectifs fixés, viser l’excellence et ne jamais abandonner. Des athlètes parmi nous PEACHES & CREAM The Young Veins are here and ready to remind you of old british-invasion rock & roll. It just so happens that they were built out of the aftermath of a fussy pop-punk break-up. I'll admit it - as a middle school tween I had an unhealthy appetite for Panic at The Disco! but to clear things up, over the years the band and I went our separate ways. Panic! Out of the comically effeminate mess, the Kinks/Monkees/Beach Boys-tinged band, The Young Veins was born. From Take a Vacation!
