INHALE is a cultural platform where artists are presented, where great projects are given credit and readers find inspiration. Think about Inhale as if it were a map: we can help you discover which are the must-see events all over the world, what is happening now in the artistic and cultural world as well as guide you through the latest designers’ products. Inhale interconnects domains that you are interested in, so that you will know all the events, places, galleries, studios that are a must-see. We have a 360 degree overview on art and culture and a passion to share.
Lady Gaga further expands her foray into the technology realm with the release of her new album, ArtPop . Her album/app promises to be “a musical and visual engineering system that combines music, art, fashion, and technology with a new interactive worldwide community—’the auras.’” Described as “a reverse Warholian expedition” (in contrast to the Candy Warhol Visualfrom her Fame Monster tour?), the project also promises to “bring the music industry into a new age; an age where art drives pop, and the artist once again is in control of the ‘icon.’”The album will take the form of a downloadable app designed courtesy of Gaga’s devout technology team, TechHAUS, and will aim to portray the ‘rush’ of fame via virtual simulation.
The HAUS OF GAGA, the superstar’s personal creative team, has also coordinated an ‘Art Rave’ event prior to the album/app’s November 11 release, featuring collaborative works with the likes of Jeff Koons,Inez & Vinoodh, Marina Abramovic and Robert Wilson.
Could these collaborations be anything like the one Jay Z did with Marina Abramovic at Pace Gallery in New York? Could the app be anything like Bjork’s Biophilia app from October 2011, corresponding with the release of her album at the time? Perhaps, but regardless, Gaga has repeatedly stated that she’s an artist first and previously collaborated with visual artists like Nick Knight, Steven Klein, and Terence Koh. Photography duo Inez & Vinoodh also directed her “You and I” series of fashion films and photographed her for V Magazine.
While we are looking forward to whatever Lady Gaga has in store individually or collectively with these artists, we are also welcoming a moment where musicians are placing their work in the realm of performance art. For both Jay-Z and Gaga, much remains to be seen, but what we do know is that the next few months will be full of art, pop, performance, and big collaborations between the art and music worlds.
