RIP Louise Bourgeois. You were truly a living legend.

louise bourgeois, the french-born american artist who gained fame only late in a long career, when her psychologically charged abstract sculptures, drawings and prints had a galvanizing effect on the work of younger artists, particularly women, died on monday in manhattan, where she lived. she was 98.

ms. bourgeois’s sculptures in wood, steel, stone and cast rubber, often organic in form and sexually explicit, emotionally aggressive yet witty, covered many stylistic bases. but from first to last they shared a set of repeated themes centered on the human body and its need for nurture and protection in a frightening world.

protection often translated into images of shelter or home. a gouged lump of cast bronze, for example, suggested an animal’s lair. a table-like wooden structure with thin, stilt-like legs resembled a house ever threatening to topple. her series of “cells” from the early 1990s — installations of old doors, windows, steel fencing and found objects — were meant to be evocations of her childhood, which she claimed as the psychic source of her art.

but it was her images of the body itself, sensual but grotesque, fragmented, often sexually ambiguous, that proved especially memorable. in some cases the body took the abstract form of an upright wooden pole, pierced by a few holes and stuck with nails; in others it appeared as a pair of women’s hands realistically carved in marble and lying, palms open, on a massive stone base.

in an art world where women had been treated as second-class citizens and were discouraged from dealing with overtly sexual subject matter, she quickly assumed an emblematic presence. her work was read by many as an assertive feminist statement, her career as an example of perseverance in the face of neglect.

ms. bourgeois often spoke of pain as the subject of her art, and fear: fear of the grip of the past, of the uncertainty of the future, of loss in the present.

“the subject of pain is the business i am in,” she said. “to give meaning and shape to frustration and suffering.” she added: “the existence of pain cannot be denied. i propose no remedies or excuses.” yet it was her gift for universalizing her interior life as a complex spectrum of sensations that made her art so affecting.

she often spoke of her early, emotionally conflicted family life as formative. her practical and affectionate mother, who was an invalid, was a positive influence. her father’s domineering disposition, as well as his marital infidelities (he had a 10-year affair with the children’s english governess), instilled a resentment and an insecurity that ms. bourgeois never laid to rest.

“i have a religious temperament,” ms. bourgeois, a professed atheist, said about the emotional and spiritual energy that she poured into her work. “i have not been educated to use it. i’m afraid of power. it makes me nervous. in real life, i identify with the victim. that’s why i went into art.”

Tycho - “Adrift” (Shigeto’s Adrift A Dream Remix)

Ghostly International is in it’s tenth magnificent year of releasing boundary crashing sonic waves. To celebrate, they’ve pushed out a double-disc this week entitled Horizon Line/Ghostly By Night. The first disc features remixes of some classic Ghostly tracks by some of my favorite producers (see: Madlib(!), Bullion, and Paul White) and some from the new wave of Ghostly artists like Mux Mool and Shigeto, the newest addition to their roster. The second disc is comprised of 10 songs that indicate the future of the label including new stuff from Mathew Dear and Deastro.

Ghostly International continually pushes music and media forward, (re)defining genres and any notions of where a “record label” can be and how it can function (look no further than their “Ghostly Discovery” iPhone app). Congrats!

Bitch and Animal - “Traffic”

I’ve recently begun revisiting the music I listened to in high school.

I’ve had a lot of life change this year, my 26th, and the songs I connected to at 16 sound really comfy and cozy right about now.

Bitch and Animal were overall sexually aggressive but funny with most of their songs but “Traffic” is a slow, sad breakup song like so many before it.
