Charles Atlas has made films and videos for over forty years, mainly operating in the New York underground and dance scene. Lately his popularity in the art world is increasing, with projects at Tate Modern, The New Museum, this year's Whitney Biennial and, on view until June 3rd, the exhibition Discount Body Parts at De Hallen in Haarlem.
In his Sacred Selections, Matt Stokes performs pipe organ recitals based on transcripts of underground music. For the performance night at the Nieuwe Kerk in Haarlem, June 9th, Happy Hardcore was his particular music style of focus. The video shows the organ translation of Heart Of Gold (1996), originally from the British record producers Force and Styles.
