McLaren returned to his roots as a visual artist in June 2008 with SHALLOW 1-21, a series of twenty-one “Musical Paintings” – short films created from re-worked clips from pornography set to music that he composed. It premiered in Art Basel Projects, and was shown by Creative Time in Times Square, New York; the Royal Academy of Arts, London; the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead; and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia.
Paris, Capital of the 21st century, is the latest artistic project by Malcolm McLaren. The film is a pastiche of commercials that are related to the French capital in one way or another. An advertising clip directed by Jean-Luc Godard is followed by a silent movie from the 20s for the legendary French cigarette brand GITANES. Through subtle montage and sequencing, McLaren creates a collage of movements and sounds. The result is a terrific symphony that catapults Walter Benjamin’s Capital of the 19th century“ into the future.
