PJ Harvey Recording in Progress from 16 January at Somerset House London

Recording in Progress is a project conceived by PJ Harvey, in collaboration with Artangel and Somerset House, for the Inland Revenue’s former staff gymnasium and rifle range in the recently opened New Wing at Somerset House.
Harvey has chosen to record her ninth album inside an architectural installation designed by Somerset House-based Something & Son. The structure, a recording studio in the form of an enclosed box, has one-way glazing, displaying PJ Harvey, her band, producers and engineers as a mutating, multi-dimensional sound sculpture.
Visitors experience exactly what is happening at a particular moment in the studio, as Harvey and musicians, together with her longstanding producers Flood and John Parish, go through the creative process of recording an album of songs

Alan Suicide/Vega: Art-Rite Special #13 (1977)

"We dedicate this issue to the average American searching for exitement. The images, punked out from the ambient culture, are the touchstones of a new sensibilitity, icons of the dissipations and strenghts of the modern spirit. Let the way of life idealized in these pages bring into your home the romance of the underculture - horse racing, white-trash smut, geasy rock'n'roll, muscles, motorcycles and the end of civilization." - the editors

Willy & Toots DeVille

Edit deAk and Mike (now Walter) Robinson were the co-founders of Art-Rite magazine, a cheaply produced newsprint periodical, that covered the newest directions in art. Issue #13 was a collaboration with Alan Suicide who selected an assortment of images reflective of his view of the modern spirit. Edit and Mike along with video artist Paul Dougherty also created a film to accompany "Frankie Teardrop," an 11-minute song by Suicide. Done before the advent of the cable television program MTV, the film is an early example of the music video genre. Both Mike and Edit became influential art writers: Edit atArtforum; Walter at Art in America and Artnet.

The film is death oriented. The Thanatos instinct instead of the life instinct. Instead of being overt there is the use of end-of-civilization symbols like the corpse and sunsets.
- Mike Robinson
Frankie Teardrop" is a homicidal Punk epic. It's a working-class ballad about Frankie who's working from nine to five and can't survive. His solution is to kill off his family and then himself. But it's not done in an angry way. It's done in a frustrated way so the film implies this frustration.
