A Tramway Co-commission as Part of Take Me Somewhere
An Afro-futuristic soundclash of dance and music, inspired by Grace Jones’ ‘One Man Show’, 100%POP reckons with the production and consumption of the pop sound and pop imagery in the hyper-reality of global capitalism.
Pop can be read as the art of the ordinary, the art most accessible to the people. People, as those ordinary working masses, who don’t necessarily frequent museums and galleries. In 100% POP, Nora Chipaumire returns to the ways information and knowledge was acquired by those of us who grew up in less free times - the time of African broadcast stations, colour bars, Drum magazine, poverty, and active connections to rural and township lifestyles. Inspired by Grace Jones as perhaps the first superstar who was black, female and unapologetic about her presence, 100&POP references her famous One Man Show and the idea of a ‘cover’ soundclashing elements of Jones’ music with Zimbabwe’s Chimurenga music, dub and noise.
