Die Antwoord have done a lot of crazy shit in their time (and especially in their videos), but one thing we never expected was to see them make a short horror film with rock caricature Jack Black.
Everything else about Tommy Can’t Sleep, however, is vintage Die Antwoord, pushing the creepiness levels and shock factor to their maximum just as they’ve tried to do in many of their music videos.
Nothing else needs to be said, really. It’s Die Antwoord, Jack Black, a foul-mouthed kid, and just so, so many rats. Enjoy.
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.

there are ways out.
there is light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.

take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.

otherwise, don’t even start.
if you’re going to try, go all the
way.
this could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs and
maybe your mind.
go all the way.
it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.
it could mean freezing on a
park bench.
it could mean jail,
it could mean derision,
mockery,
isolation.
isolation is the gift,
all the others are a test of your
endurance, of
how much you really want to
do it.
and you’ll do it
despite rejection and the worst odds
and it will be better than
anything else

all the way.
you will ride life straight to

Pittsburgh’da Tugboat Printshop adlı stüdyosunda çalışmalarını sürdüren Valerie Lueth’un detaylı ve çok renkli özgün baskı projesi Eve, ahşap kalıplarıyla dahi insanı kendine hayran bırakıyor.
Lueth’un sınırlı sayıda çoğaltılabilen baskı çalışması, farklı renklerde 4 ayrı kalıptan oluşan katmanlar aracılığıyla yaratılmış. Bu noktada ahşap baskı yöntemiyle çok renkli çalışma yapmanın oldukça zorlu bir süreç olduğunu, aynı kompozisyonu farklı detaylarla planlayıp tekrar tekrar kalıp üzerine oymak gerektiğini belirtmekte fayda var. Mavi kozmosda asılı duruyormuş izlenimi yaratan el formu; yeşil, siyah ve turuncu renklerle tamamlanmış çiçekli kompozisyonun temelini oluşturuyor.
I Modi or The Ways was a book of engravings depicting sixteen sexual positions. Think of it as The Joy of Sex for Renaissance times. The book, also known as The Sixteen Pleasures, was published by the engraver Marcantonio Raimondi in 1524. Raimondi based his explicit illustrations on a series of erotic privately owned paintings by Giulio Romano. The book was widely circulated. It led to the first prosecution for pornography by the Catholic church. Raimondi was imprisoned by Pope Clement VII. All copies of the book were destroyed.
Our story doesn’t end there, as the poet and satirist Pietro Aretino heard of the book and wished to see Romano’s original paintings. Interestingly, Romano was not prosecuted by the Pope as his paintings (unlike Raimondi’s book) were not meant for public consumption. Aretino decided to write a series of erotic sonnets to accompany the paintings. He also successfully campaigned to have Raimondi released from prison.
In 1527, a second edition of I Modi was published with Aretino’s sonnets. Once again the Pope banned the book and all copies were destroyed—only a few small fragments of I Modi or Aretino’s Postures survive which are held at the British Museum.
In 1798 a completely new version of I Modi was published in France under the title L’Arétin d’Augustin Carrache ou Recueil de Postures Érotiques, d’Après les Gravures à l’Eau-Forte par cet Artiste Célèbre, Avec le Texte Explicatif des Sujets (The ‘Aretino’ of Agostino Carracci, or a collection of erotic poses, after Carracci’s engravings, by this famous artist, with the explicit texts on the subject) based on engravings by Baroque painter Agostini Carracci was published.
These 18th century engravings mixed classical myth and history within a contemporary setting—though their intention is still the same—to arouse and “educate” users to the joys of sex.
Atölyemizde, basılacak görselin seçimi ve hazırlanması ile ilgili kısa bilgilendirmenin ardından, gravür sanatçısı Ari Alpert eşliğinde baskıya dair tüm süreç ve uygulamaları deneyimleyecek olan katılımcılarımız, kendileri için ya da sevdiklerine hediye etmek için küçük ve edisyonlu birer seri üretme şansı yakalayacaklar!Fransızca’daki “gravure” sözcüğünden dilimize geçen ve matbaacılıkta da kullanılan bir teknik olarak gravür, sanatsal anlamda kazıma resim sanatını ifade eder ve “oyma baskı” olarak da adlandırılır.Linolyum; beziryağı, doğal reçine, mantar tozu, talaş, kalker ile sıvanmış, kendir dokumasından yapılan bir çeşit taban malzemesididr. Linol baskı tekniğinde, seçilen görsel materyal kesme bıçağı yardımıyla linol üzerine oyulur ve ardından matbaa mürekkebi ve merdaneler aracılığı ile boyanır. Baskı işlemi sırasında oyulan yerler değil, yüksek kısımlar kağıda geçer. Bu anlamda, oyma işlemini kağıda geçmesini istediğimiz görselin negatifini esas alarak yapmak gerekir.Linol baskı için gereken malzemeler her katılımcı için hazırlanmış olacaktır;
- Bir adet 10.5x15 cm boyutunda kesilmiş linolyum tabaka
- Linolyum kesme bıçağı
- Üzerine baskı yapılacak kağıt
- Baskı işlemi sırasında kullanılacak tahta kaşık
- Mürekkep
Katılımcılar atölyede seçecekleri hazır görselleri, örnekteki gibi oyma işlemine ve 10.5 x15 cm oranına uygun halde hazırladıkları görselleri ya da marker kalem ile doğrudan linolyum üzerine çizecekleri deseni çalışabilirler.

The participants will experience every process and application steps related to the printing stage with Ari Alpert, an engraving artist, after a short briefing about how to choose the design that will be printed and the related preparations in our workshop. They will also have the chance to make little unique gravures for themselves or their loved ones!
Graving, originally a French word ''gravure'' and also a technique found in printing, can also refer to artistic engravings or etchings. Linoleum is a floor covering made from renewable materials such as solidified linseed oil (linoxyn), pine rosin, ground cork dust and wood flour. In the Linoleum printing technique (Linocut), the desired design is cut with a sharp knife and fitted on a sheet of linoleum, then it's painted with printing ink and the help of a brayer (also called a roller). During the printing phase, raised parts to pass on to the paper, creating a mirror image of the engravings. So it's imperative that we base our engravings on the negative form of our desired designs.
The necessary materials for the linoleum printing technique will be prepared for every participant.
- A sheet of Linoleum in 10.5x15cm dimensions
- A printing paper
- A sharp knife for cutting Linoleum
