Viv Albertine Livres
Cette artiste évolue avec fluidité entre la musique, le cinéma et les arts visuels, son œuvre façonnée par une vie précoce dans des milieux moins aisés et par l'exposition à des scènes artistiques émergentes. Elle aborde son art avec un esprit expérimental, adoptant des sons et des formes non conventionnels influencés par l'esthétique punk et les mouvements artistiques de son époque. Après une décennie passée à réaliser des films, elle canalise désormais son énergie créative dans la sculpture et l'interprétation de ses propres chansons.
At the launch party for her memoir in 2014, the musician Viv Albertine received news that her mother was dying, and spent a few final hours with the woman who was, in a sense, the love of her life.
SUNDAY TIMES MUSIC BOOK OF THE YEAR ROUGH TRADE BOOK OF THE YEAR MOJO BOOK OF THE YEAR In 1975, Viv Albertine was obsessed with music but it never occurred to her she could be in a band as she couldn't play an instrument and she'd never seen a girl play electric guitar. A year later, she was the guitarist in the hugely influential all-girl band the Slits, who fearlessly took on the male-dominated music scene and became part of a movement that changed music. A raw, thrilling story of life on the frontiers and a candid account of Viv's life post-punk - taking in a career in film, the pain of IVF, illness and divorce and the triumph of making music again - Clothes Music Boys is a remarkable memoir.
