The queen of Elastica and Suede retired from live performance to get skooled in architecture at the University of London. Frischmann also studied visual arts at Naropa University in Boulder, Colo. Along the way, she directly inspired both Peaches and M.I.A. (who designed an Elastica album cover).
Then Frischmann delved into TV, producing a kick-ass doc about Adam Ant ("The Madness of Prince Charming"). Television's probably her most interesting phase — especially Frischmann's on-air segments for "Dreamscapes," where she interpreted building-design trends around the globe: messy ’80s postmodernism, Brasilia's daring urban plans, Puerto Rico's tropical modernism, London's landmark bridges, A-list homes of L.A. and more.
"lower states of consciousness (I am translated)"
But it looks like Frischmann's exploring another artsy chapter. She now lives near San Francisco, where she occasionally exhibits her self-described "messy" art — like "Mother Tongue," a mix of vandalism, Scotch tape, PhotoShop and aerosol paint. "Mother Tongue" is supposed to look like "lo-fi, boarded-up Gone-out-of-Business signs that celebrate impermanence" ... or something like that.
