Mitamine Lab #53 - With Love, Tenderness, Familial Warmth, Joy or Ecstasy

Thursday 5th October 2023 18:00 - 19:00 BST

Mitamine Lab is a culture laboratory based in Mexico City which blends sound archives with contemporary music and literature.

For this episode, Mitamine Lab has cooked a mix with lots of dub gems, recent releases and some field recordings inspired by the works of British painter Michael Kirkham.

"Kirkham probes uncomfortable truths about contemporary life, staging his brand of psychological portraiture amidst dim interiors, still lifes, and scenes of urban malaise. While invested in traditions that skew niche and graphic (in all senses of the term), the experience he creates is closer to the unflappable genericness of Koons, the pathos of Balthus, the medium-specificity of Nicole Eisenman, or, occasionally, the despairing filmic worlds of contemporaries like Gaspar Noe, Andrea Arnold, or the Safdie brothers, than the lineages from which he so readily borrows." – Harkawik
