YOU MUST BE JOOKIN

Accchhhh. It's been so long. I know. I'm sorry. But, I've got something brilliant. This morning I got sent this video of the world's leading cellist, Yo-Yo Ma, and Jookin star Lil Buck performing together at a charity event. Jookin is a Memphis-born dance style, a liquid form of body-popping where the dancer's feet move so smoothly it's like they're on skates. I've seen performers on the streets in Paris and dancers in the Janelle Monae Tightrope video, but this is truly incredible.

DO YOU LOVE ME, NOW THAT I CAN DANCE?

Because it's been a bit of an art week, I'd like to bring your attention to MONPA, or the Museum of Non-Primate Art. The organisation has got some really great stuff this season that is definitely competing on an international level and I'd like to bring them some much-needed publicity. Their three current online collections are the thought-provoking Why Cats Paint, the emotive Dancing with Cats and the expressionist Bird Art. The purpose of the museum, as they define it, is to "preserve the movements, marks and sounds of non-primate species and consider them, without prejudice, as modes of aesthetic communication, in the hope of gaining new insights into our world." I can honestly say that this work has given me some new insights into our world. If you'd like something to keep forever (and who wouldn't?), what better than a powerful photographic collection that accompanies the exhibition from Heather Busch and Burton Silver.
