A video preview of Fatima Al Qadiri’s Genre Specific Xperience

I’m jealous of anyone that attended the premiere of the work at the New Museum last month. I had planned on interviewing her but things fell through. Perhaps another time. For now, I’ll revel at her particular brand of brilliance in the form of new music that re-interprets the juke, hip hop, dubstep, electro-tropicalia and 90s Gregorian trance sub-genres of dance music. Original videos produced for the songs were created by artists Kamau Patton, Tabor Robak, Thunderhorse Video, Sophia Al-Maria, Ryan Trecartin and Rhett LaRue.

I second all of this: Fatima Al Qadiri’s work is brilliant and incredibly original. If you don’t know her work, get acquainted. It’s worth your time.
