The Art of Rave: why contemporary art loves rave - FAD Magazine

The objects that make up a rave – sound systems, flight cases, turntables, pills – are often fetishised in art or seen to be just as compelling as art itself. Wilkinson explains: “There’s something incredible about big sound systems – just the engineering of it. These big bass bins only came into being in the late 20th century so they’re emblematic of our time. They’re these big monoliths and the physicality of standing next to these things is fascinating. The sound systems and cases etc is what you bring – it’s the only constant in the environment and the scenery is a quarry or an old factory or disused air field from WWII.”Rowley, Alison (August 5, 2012).

It seems that rave doesn’t travel well, but from what Van Linge tells me it is something that is an unavoidable presence as a settler in the UK: “As soon as I moved to the UK I was of course very much in touch with the Dutch history of rave and gabba. I threw a lot of techno parties in the years before that so I was very much in touch with that specific aesthetic and history. Then when I moved here it was only natural for me to investigate that further than what I had seen on MTV as kid. I think also because I’ve always been interested in the relationship between the developments of youth subcultures and the technology and industry that developed with it or at least at the same time. Looking into the technological and industrial history of London and the buildings and the materials that were attached to it I immediately also encountered the rave aesthetic – it’s hard to miss almost.” Gocobachi, Pamela (November 6, 2013).

Gaga recruited artist Jeff Koons for the project in early 2013; the two had met previously at a Metropolitan Museum of Art fashion event three years earlier, where Gaga had a live performance. According to Koons, Gaga "just kind of grabbed ahold of me and gave me a big hug around my waist and replied, 'You know, Jeff, I've been such a fan of yours, and when I was a kid just hanging out in Central Park I would talk to my friends about your work'."

Birth of CTK (Crime Time Kings), one of the first international graffiti crews, formed by writers from London, Paris and Amsterdam - including Shoe, currently showing at our STRAAT Gallery - who would help spread the European school of graffiti style throughout the continent. It’s even had an impact across the pond with artist Corey Arcangel producing tongue in cheek, transatlantic takes on rave with his pieces 414–3-RAVE-95 –which he says “revisits the ‘rave’ dance party phenomenon of the early to mid-1990s” – and Cat Rave. Contemporary art, like most creative industries, is sadly governed by money. When something like a subculture is absorbed by the commercial side of art and somehow tamed or cut up into easily digested pieces, made palatable for a particular audience, there is a something disheartening about it. Should movements like rave culture be kept solely for those who dared to experience them and a million miles away from contemporary art, or is documenting them in this way as important as documenting any part of history? Whatever the answer may be, rave culture’s impact as one of the most important and original subcultures of our time is undeniable and its influence doesn’t show any signs of diminishing. “It was a futuristic movement – a movement of futuristic music, of doing new things, new drugs – a new kind of love,” Van Linge tells me. “I’m not sure whether the same group of people could go through that again – maybe if you talk about different cultures – maybe from a typical Eurocentric perspective, but maybe not. The world is a lot bigger.” Categories Berlin / The Berlin Wall becomes a popular painting spot for national and international graffiti and street artists, among whom Thierry Noir, often credited as the first artist to paint the Berlin Wall, and Keith Haring, arguably the biggest artist to emerge from New York’s graffiti subculture of the 1980s.
