From The Art Newspaper, Armory edition:
Holman brings in da noise
Who should be spotted lingering outside the Armory piers
in anticipation of the grand opening but underground hip-hop legend Michael Holman, looking suitably Old Skool complete with
boombox.
“I’m out here to promote my new project
called Sound Rally For the Future® which is a global, mass act of humanity, making sound or noise for exactly one minute at
noon, simultaneously across all global time zones, with the purpose of creating mass consciousness.” This ambitious
conceptual scheme will actually take place for the first time next year, on 21 June, Summer Solstice of the year 2010, but
Holman wants to be sure the whole art world will be ready to make as much racket as possible at the appointed hour. “Sound
Rally For The Future® is simply the ringing and rattling of an ancient alarm clock, with pots and pans, music, prayer, shouts,
by whatever means you choose. We will raise a cosmic cacophony.” And Holman sure knows what’s hip, he’s
da man who took Malcolm McLaren up to the Bronx to discover breakdancing back in the dayz, so give the man a shout-out when
you see him.
Or as he puts it “Be prepared for instantaneous evolution!”
