ODD NIGHT # 1

Coughy, Lea Rasovszky

29/01/2015 21:00

Dr. Felix 72A, Bucharest, Romania

Coughy live followed by the astral couple Lea Rasovzsky & Glue Eyes DJ set.

The concept of Coughy was to be an exact opposite of clinging to one particular sound or a tedious rehearsal of prior established songs. Improvisation, spontaneity, obscure cultural influences and a complete and reciprocal trust were to be the principles of this project. The result, often unpredictable even to the protagonists, associates freely drones and rhythms, noise and harmony, digital and analog, atmospheric and psychedelic, pop and experiment.

The flagrant lady of the night Lea Rasovzsky and GLUE EYES will spread sleazy r&b bubbles and glitter for a contemporary nostalgic experience.

The concept of Coughy was to be an exact opposite of clinging to one particular sound or a tedious rehearsal of prior established songs.

Lea Rasovszky

Lea Rasovszky’s art can be considered as a reflection on the seemingly endless births, metamorphoses, deaths, and ensuing resurrections of pop culture, “the sole myth system that unites us all”, as Leslie Fiedler once said.
Indeed, at first sight it’s all there, mostly in the form of small drawings and mixed media panels, or in room installations: the bodies, the boobs, the (s)dicks, the sex, the fashion, the kitsch, the bunnies, the sunglasses, the beauty nails, the Teletubbies, good old Mickey Mouse, the gender trouble, the shrill colors of advertisement, the hype of the new media, even the specters of religion roaming among the earthly sinners at the supermarket.
Rasovszky’s works are characterized by a fresh roughness and rawness, albeit never taking delight in trash. Nonetheless, they always espouse an in–your–face–attitude, sometimes marked by anger, melancholy, even bitterness, sometimes by crude irony and humor.
