With our first gallery exhibition underway, we felt it’s (about bloody) time to redesign our website. Hopefully, we’ll have our home refurnished by May 18 but in the meantime you can find us on Facebook, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and The Beach.

MOBY OPENS A&GALLERY

You know him as an electronic music pioneer but taking, developing and printing photographs aren’t new departures for Moby. Once a film and photography graduate student, Moby’s been a keen SLR lens man ever since his uncle, a photographer working for The New York Times, presented him with a camera at age ten. To this day, Moby carries a camera wherever he goes. A photography book will accompany Moby’s new album Destroyed. Both the album and the book are set for release on May 16. Published by Damiani, the hardback edition of the book features 55 photographs taken by Moby while touring the planet. A litany of intriguing images from all over the world, Destroyed is a stark, poignant, amusing and beautiful cavalcade of surreally deserted cityscapes and urban ‘non places’ – drawing influences from such names as André Kertész, Edward Steichen and Wolfgang Tillmans. Limited edition prints of all 55 photographs will be sold in a select number of galleries and concept stores around the world, including Colette (Paris), Proud Gallery (London), Kopeikin Gallery (Los Angeles), CLIC (New York) and our very own (and very new) A&Gallery (Ghent). All prints are signed and numbered by Moby. The Belgian exhibition will start on Wednesday May 18 and serve as the official opening of A&Gallery – run by Angels & Ghosts. Moby will not only attend the opening but also play a DJ set at a still secret and very exclusive location in Ghent. Apart from the limited edition prints, A&Gallery will also sell the new album and book.

A&GALLERY COMING SOON

my my. has it really been over two years since our last post? guess websites have become a bit old-fashioned (and we’ve been busy working on numerous other projects). but the time has come to re-activate both this website and angels & ghosts. and that is why, we will not only post new photographs online in the next couple of weeks, we will also let you in on a little secret called A&Gallery. but for now, all we can say is that it all has something to do with the man in the photo below. shhhhhhh.

AS SEEN ON MTV

two months ago mtv came to the opening of our antwerp show. we only just got hold of the report and didn’t get a chance yet to put subtitles on it but it’s basically a bunch of people saying all good things about us. luckily.

ACROSS THE BORDER

admin — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 21:20:18 +0000

talking about this series of - seriously! - paintings of electronic musicians, gemma over at border community wrote this about us on the label’s blog: ‘angels & ghosts is another unrelated project from belgium that has similar aims of redressing the visibility balance, this time through an ongoing photography series focusing on the electronic musicians who would otherwise “often remain relatively faceless even after having played in front of millions of people”. so far there are 100 photos in the collection, which they have displayed at various exhibitions and now released into the world as a limited edition numbered booklet as a stop-gap teaser whilst their dj-cataloguing mission continues. and as you were probably expecting, our own james holden has already been snapped for this celebration of dj images too, taking him another vital step away from invisibility.’

WINTER SALES

admin — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 22:52:31 +0000

first things first: happy new year! though we must admit we are kind of sad closing the book on 2008. over one thousand people showed up for the opening night of our exhibition at the antwerp fotomuseum on december 19 and thousands more dropped by before we pulled the plug on january 4. from the bottom of our heart: thank you! however, as a lot of you weren’t able to come to antwerp - financial crisis; we understand - we saved a limited number of books to be sold online. the book - call it a catalogue, if you will - is not available in shops nor is it the definitive collection of our endeavour (which continues). it is a teaser, a taste, a sample of our first one hundred photos - old ones (erol, uffie, alex, james, dave) and new ones (moby, amon, laurent, goldie, felix). for a complete line-up go to the book(s) section of our website. to order your copy go to contact and send us an e-mail. the book costs 15 euro. also: each copy is numbered; making it a bit of of a collectable. heck, we’ll even sign it, to show how much we looooooove you.

A&G TO HIT THE DECKS

admin — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 23:35:40 +0000

this just in: angels & ghosts will also be spinning records on opening night. for thirty minutes - right after busy p - we’ll be playing nothing but nasty, mean, badass dance tracks. do note that we haven’t had much time to practise recently so we’re not saying it’s going to be a perfect mix. but is that REALLY important? guess we’ll find out in - building tension here - three more days!

UFFIE FOR LIFE

admin — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 22:35:13 +0000

angels & ghosts has put a big print (60 x 90 cm) of its uffie photo up for auction on ebay. the print has been signed by the damself herself and all proceeds will go to music for life - a big annual fundraiser hosted by the red cross and studio brussel, belgium’s damn hottest radio station. this year both are raising money for women and children on the run from war and violence. now we know these are hard times but be honest: you’re not exactly skipping the turkey this year because you can’t afford one. and if you’re really that terrified of an economic meltdown you might as well spend your money now because once the world goes bankrupt it’s not going to be worth a dime anyway. so take part in our music for life auction and then go spend even more money on beautiful portraits (of amongst others róisín murphy and soulwax) from our esteemed colleagues at pictures for life!
