33 Révolutions Par Minute
We were proud to be part of Arnaud Maguet exhibition at Centre Pompidou in Paris (october 2011). HFK proposed a Noise Karaoke + played two live shows with Arnaud on keyboards, percussions and backing vocals. Here are a couple of words about the Noise Karaoke, in french:

"Une architecture sommaire faite, cette fois-ci de bois de coffrage, sépare les protagonistes (le groupe et son chanteur temporaire) du public. Sur de lourds et lents riffs de basse et le martèlement sourd de la batterie, la guitare improvise des volutes électriques. C'est dans cette matière sonore, tantôt stoner, tantôt doom, qu'un spectateur est invité à passer de l'autre côté du microphone. Un moniteur propose, dans le rythme de l'improvisation, une suite d'onomatopées tirées de divers comic books. Le chanteur peut les suivre ou pas. Isolé avec le groupe, à l'abris du regard direct des autres membres du public qui, peut-être dans les minutes qui suivent, prendront sa place, il hurle, crie, éructe ou couine, sa voix démultipliée dans le temps par l'effet d'une pédale de delay. Une dizaine de morceaux et autant de chanteur d'un soir s'enchaînent - le temps d'un vrai concert à la forme plus cohérente, le temps d'une expérience sonore interlope, le temps de hurler du bruit avant de rentrer chez soi et de se dire qu'on devrait en faire une activité plus régulière." (Arnaud Maguet)

Collection Amplifiée
Publié en conclusion d'une année fêtant les vingt-cinq ans du Musée départemental d'art contemporain de Rochechouart, cet ouvrage a d'abord été conçu comme un catalogue de la collection. Il fait suite aux éditions parues en 1991 et 2002. Il comporte à ce titre une liste recensant la totalité des œuvres de la collection. En faisant le pari que les nouvelles technologies rendent moins utile l'édition papier de ce type d'inventaire, notre hypothèse a été d'accompagner encore davantage la convergence numérique de ce début de siècle en proposant une forme archaïque de celle-ci : la transcription d'œuvres d'art en chansons... (extrait, texte d'Olivier Michelon)

Nous sommes heureux de vous annoncer la participation d'HFK à ce projet, en compagnie de Jad Fair et de Philippe Petit ("Le Grenier du Château", 1990, installation d'Annette Messager et de Christian Boltanski).

Quelques situations avec R. Stevie Moore
En compagnie d'Arnaud Maguet, HFK était à Nashville TN du 8 au 20 septembre pour travailler sur un projet de film/exposition revenant sur la vie et l'oeuvre de R. Stevie Moore. Les premières images avaient été tournées à l'occasion de la dernière édition du MIDI festival, où HFK a enregistré quatre morceaux en compagnie de RSM.
Moore soon.

10 courtes videos ont été réalisées pour Arte-Creative lors du voyage, à visionner ici : diary
