DJ
Whitelines
A
persona that became a natural progression from Jacob's other
characters. He appeared for the first time at the Chelsea Piers Arts
Festival September 2001 in a performance done in the Frying Pan Boat.
It was a performance done as part of the project In
Control, where DJ Whitelines performed a Siren exorcism in one of
the little rooms of the rusty old boat. While in New Orleans he developed
further and fine tuned the traits of the character. The outfit was inspired
by his good friend and local Croatian artist Surge
who also helped him with his Letting Go
project. When living in Sweden DJ Whitelines gained new power by the very
fact that it was Jacob's only way to created art or be an artists around
the Swedes. The uniform and disguise was essential so he would not involve
his own energy and feelings with the people he was surrounded by. DJ Whitelines
did projects such as "Prosack"
where the performance concept "AIRMIX" first appeared. Then
came "Slideshow" at Konsthallen
and after that Luftkastellet
where DJ Whitelines worked. NIGHT Magazine had a 25 year survey exhibition
at Malmö Konstahall that Jacob curated and DJ Whitelines performed
together with his female counterpart in Sweden called Peggy Sue (read
interview between them). He also did the soundtrack to Anton Perich's
NIGHT-The Movie screening at Malmö
Konsthall and choreographed the fashion show/performance and collaborated
on the soundtrack with Magnus Svenningson for The
Salvation Army event. He represented New York with his "AIRMIX"
video in the "Contemporneity" show in Kirgistan and Denmark in the exhibition "The Taste of Others" at New York's Apex Art Gallery, both curated by
Leeza Ahmady and hosts the AIRMIX Championships at the Malmö
Festival 2004. In 2007, DJ Whitelines was transformed into DJ Triangle Lover, who performed on Swedish TV with the "Airmix Performance". Read a nice article from Afghanistan about DJ Whitelines HERE |

Who
is DJ Whitelines?
The Grandmaster Flash song "Whitelines- Don't Do It" inspires
to the name. A song that talks about how great coke is, but at the same
times proclaims Don't Do It!
Whitelines often appears in Jacob's paintings, to represent decay, drugs
and decadence. (example)
When one drives fast and furious on a road, one drives in the middle having
the whitelines in the road underneath you, to not loose control |
