Let's take a look at who Iranian born Arash Pournouri is. Arash, along with one of the co-founders of Spotify, founded the annual Brilliant Minds Conference in Sweden. Seems like a catchy, trendy event right? Wait until you see who he's had perform there...

Pharrell, Jeff Koons and Elon Musk’s mom are just some of the stars visiting Stockholm for Brilliant Minds – get a sneak peek inside the super-exclusive event. One person, according to Ash's Instagram is the spirit cooker herself, Marina Abramović. Another one of his performers? The sicko artist himself, Jeff Koons. If you don't know much about him, his Wikipedia page itself is enough to raise a red flag... especially when you look at who his ex wife is, Ilona Staller, a "Hungarian-Italian porn star, politician, and singer". Oh look... here's Marina Abramović and Jeff, together with Lady Gaga, one that many know as a Deep State Luciferian who has attended many spirit cookings. Jeff Koons, Marina Abramović, and Lady Gaga

My turn...

Let's take a look at something else first, though...

I'm not sure if you're aware of this yet, but, your comment in my thread Root of Corruption - Part 12: The Oprah Case was actually very well placed and really brought this Avicii situation to the forefront of my mind.

Not that the comment itself is directly related, but, taking a look at the bottom of the main post of that thread:

Music career

2007–2010: Career beginnings

~Ora's management got in touch with the American label, Roc Nation, and told them about her. Ora signed a recording deal and a publishing deal with Roc Nation in December 2008, and was one of their first signees.[20][21][22] She made cameo appearances in Jay Z's video for "Young Forever" (2009) and Drake's video, "Over" (2010).[23][24] After being signed, Ora recorded an album and wanted to release it, but her label advised against it and she started to work on other material for her debut album.[16]

Why is this relevant?

[0. wiki: Avicii]:

Career

~~

2017–18: Avīci (01) and Avicii: True Stories

In June 2017, British singer Rita Ora debuted a semi-acoustic version of "Lonely Together" at a private event at Annabel's in London.[126] "Lonely Together" was later the second single from Avīci (01). From 13 July to 2 August, Avicii shared one-minute snippets on Instagram, captioned "New music coming very very (very) soon!", with track titles as hashtags.[127][128] Avicii uploaded teasers of each track from the EP online upon release.[129][130][131]

On 10 August 2017, Bergling released the six-track EP Avīci (01).[8] Avicii said of the release: "I'm really excited to be back with music once again. It has been a long time since I released anything and a long time since I was this excited over new music! My focus on this first EP of the album was to get a mix of new and old songs: some that fans have been asking about and waiting for mixed with brand new songs that they haven't heard before!"[8]~~


Health

In January 2012, Bergling was hospitalized for 11 days in New York City with acute pancreatitis caused by excessive alcohol use.[144] In 2014, Bergling underwent surgery and had both his appendix and gallbladder removed. In 2016, Bergling's health deteriorated and he subsequently retired from performing live.[145][146] Bergling spoke publicly about his health problems and pressure from his management in the 2017 documentary Avicii: True Stories, in which he is shown working from his hospital bed.[147]

How interesting... I wonder if this had anything to do with Arash Pournouri?

[1. https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/7633087/avicii-ash-pournouri-split | https://archive.is/03wpE]:

Avicii & Longtime Manager Ash Pournouri Part Ways

12/22/2016 by Matt Medved

Avicii has left longtime manager Ash Pournouri's At Night Management firm.

An Avicii representative confirmed the split in a statement: "2x Grammy-nominated songwriter/producer Tim Bergling and his production/publishing entity Avicii Music AB have parted ways with manager Ash Pournouri, At Night Management. Bergling is signed to Universal Music Sweden and is expected to release an album next year."

The Swedish artist's announcement follows Axwell & Ingrosso's departure from At Night Management earlier this year to return to longtime manager Amy Thomson's fold.

Okay, so Arash likely had nothing to do with Tim, Rita and "Lonely Together", seeing as how the song was released in 2017, with Tim dropping Arash ~6 months prior, in 2016.

So, what's going on here? Were Tim and Rita reaching out for help?

I think so...

Given that Arash was pushing Tim to perform even in ill-health, it certainly begs the question what Arash's motives may have been and, given the child-trafficking relevance of the video for "For A Better Day", whether the company he keeps would have had any involvement in overworking Tim or otherwise pushing him to his death...

Brilliant Minds, the flagship event of the 10-day long festival Symposium Stockholm, is currently taking place in the Swedish capital.

This year saw an epically star-studded line-up of artists, entrepreneurs, chefs and visionaries take the stage at Vinterträdgården in central Stockholm.

Aiming to explore the intersection between technology, music, innovation and fashion, Brilliant Minds was founded by Spotify’s co-founder Daniel Ek together with Ash Pournouri, a famous Swedish DJ promotor.~~

Who else stands out other than Marina Abramovic? Jeff Koons...

[4. wiki: Jeff Koons]:

Jeffrey "Jeff" Koons (/kuːnz/; born January 21, 1955) is an American artist known for working with popular culture subjects and his reproductions of banal objects—such as balloon animals produced in stainless steel with mirror-finish surfaces. He lives and works in both New York City and his hometown of York, Pennsylvania.~~


Work

Jeff Koons rose to prominence in the mid-1980s as part of a generation of artists who explored the meaning of art in a media-saturated era.[18] He gained recognition in the 1980s and subsequently set up a factory-like studio in a SoHo loft on the corner of Houston Street and Broadway in New York. It was staffed with over 30 assistants, each assigned to a different aspect of producing his work—in a similar mode as Andy Warhol's Factory (notable because all of his work is produced using a method known as art fabrication).[19]~~

Let's take a look at one more final curiosity...

In light of his death on Apr 10 2018, tributes to and grieving for Avicii, became a strong element in the second weekend of Coachella 2018 - understandably so.

Let's take note of something and timeline it again, though:

[10. http://www.vulture.com/2018/04/avicii-oman-police-release-findings-for-his-death.html | https://archive.is/wEOEl]:

Oman Police Release Preliminary Findings for Avicii’s Death

Three days after the prolific Swedish DJ Avicii — born Tim Bergling — was found dead at the age of 28 in Muscat, Oman, the country’s authorities have officially ruled out any suspicious circumstances surrounding his death. Per a CNN report, the Royal Oman Police carried out two postmortems and confirmed there was “no criminal suspicion” at play, with further information likely emerging in the next few days.~~

(CNN)Authorities are ruling out "criminal suspicion" in the death of superstar DJ Avicii, who died last week while vacationing in Oman.

Avicii, whose real name was Tim Bergling, was found dead Friday in the Omani capital of Muscat. A cause of death has not been released.

"Two postmortems were carried out ... and we can confirm that there is no criminal suspicion in the death," Royal Oman Police told CNN.

Avicii's parents, two sisters and one brother are in the nation to repatriate his body this week, according to police in Oman, a popular vacation destination on the Arabian Peninsula.

His family is "completely devastated," police said.~~

What happened during the first week of Coachella 2018? Vince Staples publicly called R. Kelly a "piece of fucking shit" and child molester...

R. Kelly has been dropped by his publicist, lawyer and assistant.

In the wake of new allegations.

By SALVATORE MAICKI>>>April 21, 2018>>>R. Kelly has been dropped by his lawyer Linda Mensch, BBC confirms. They also have reported that Diane Copeland, who has worked as Kelly's executive assistant for over a decade, resigned from her job at the top of the month. That's not all, though. His publicist, Trevian Kutti, told Rolling Stone earlier today that "effective April 16, 2018, I no longer represent Mr. Robert Kelly."

Their departures come mere weeks after the BBC aired a new documentary titled R. Kelly: Sex, Girls, and Videotapes, which unveiled a litany of new accusations of the cult-like environment that Kelly created for the women in his life. A number of artists have spoken out against him in recent weeks, including Jack Antonoff and Vince Staples, who described Kelly as a "fucking piece of shit" at Coachella last weekend.

Was the 'discovery' of Avicii's body timed to coincide with the second weekend of Coachella 2018, due, at least in part, to what Vince Staples said?


Alongside the tributes to Avicii during Coachella's second weekend, take a look who made a surprise appearance:

Ariana Grande Gives a Surprise Performance at Coachella 2018

ARICHELLA.

Apr 21, 2018 9:34AM EDT

The second weekend of Coachella is underway, and attendees have already been #blessed with a pretty epic surprise: an unexpected performance from Ariana Grande.

Fans suspected that the singer-songwriter might be making an appearance at the festival when her manager, Scooter Braun, posted a couple of pretty cryptic tweets yesterday evening. "Hey @ArianaGrande ... what are u are you doing tonight???" he asked, adding a cactus emoji for emphasis. Later, he tweeted again: "On the way the Coachella stage! Let’s see who is there?????" Needless to say, Arianators quickly flipped out, replying with excitement: "OMG #ARICHELLA IS REALLY HAPPENING!!!!"

And yes, #Arichella did really happen. As noted by Entertainment Tonight, Ariana took the stage during Kygo's set to perform her brand-new single "No Tears Left to Cry." Her signature ponytail was tinted lavender for the event, and she rocked a color-coordinated outfit to match, complete with over-the-knee boots.


Soon enough, excited concertgoers began sharing photos and video of the performance on social media, posting enthusiastically about the epic surprise. "MY BABY #ARICHELLA," one fan tweeted alongside a colorful photo of the stage. "I CANT TALK OMG IM SOOOO OMG," another audience member wrote (honestly, I'd have the same reaction).~~

Curiously, the above article makes absolutely no mention of Avicii - despite that Kygo's set, during which Ariana debuted her song "No Tears Left to Cry", was underscorded by his tribute to Avicii...

Something about her presence and apparent capitalizing on the death of Tim, in order to push her (coincidentally titled) new song... it reeks of an attempt to harness the emotion surrounding Tim's death and thus bolster the emotional effect of "No Tears Left to Cry", consider now, how many people who listen to that song, will be reminded of Tim's death and all the grief/emotions that come with it... something stinks here...

Remember also: That time a bomb went off at an Ariana Grande concert in London:

[14. wiki: Manchester Arena bombing]:

The Manchester Arena bombing was an Islamist terror attack in Manchester, United Kingdom. On 22 May 2017, a shrapnel-laden homemade bomb was detonated as people were leaving Manchester Arena following a concert by the American singer Ariana Grande. Twenty-three people were killed, including the attacker, and over 500 were injured. After initial suspicions of a terrorist network, police later said they believed the bomber, Salman Ramadan Abedi, had largely acted alone but that others had been aware of his plans.

Running theme: Ariana Grande seems to have death and emotional turmoil literally following her around - a way to facilitate emotional puppetry of her audience and ultimately bolster her celebrity status and increase her profitability. Is Ariana being used as some sort of pawn or worse? Quite likely.


Something really stinks with regards to the death of Avicii.

I'll finish up here with a review of the timeline:

Popeye and Hulk Elvis series

Paintings and sculptures from the Popeye series, which Koons began in 2002, feature the cartoon figures of Popeye and Olive Oyl.[79] One such item is a stainless steel reproduction of a mass-market PVC Popeye figurine.[80] The artist will also make use of inflatable animals again, this time in combination with ladders, trashcans and fences. To create these sculptures, the toys get a layer of coating after finding the right shape. Then a hard copy is made and sent to the foundry to be cast in aluminium. Back in the studio the sculptures are painted in order to achieve the shiny look of the original inflatables.[81] For these surrealist installations, Acrobat in particular, Koons got inspiration from the Chicago Imagist H.C. Westermann.[82]

Hulk Elvis is a work series by Jeff Koons created between 2004 and 2014.[83] The works range from precision-machined bronze sculptures—inspired by an inflatable of the popular comic book hero and extruded in three dimensions—to large-scale oil paintings.[84] The work series’ title combines the popular comic book hero Hulk with the pop icon Elvis. The triple image of the Hulk figure recalls Andy Warhol's silk-screen printing Triple Elvis (1963), regarding both the multiplication and the posture of the Hulk figure.[85]

According to the artist, the Hulk Elvis series with its strong, heroic image of the Hulk represents "a very high-testosterone body of work".[86] Koons also perceives the series as "a bridge between East and West" since a parallel might be drawn between the comic book hero Hulk and Asian guardian Gods.[87]

The three-dimensional works Hulk (Friends) and Hulks (Bell) (both 2004–2012) feature apparently inflatable Incredible Hulks that actually weigh almost a ton each and are made of bronze and wood.[88] The sculpture Hulk (Organ) (2004-2014) includes a fully functional musical instrument whose potential deep sounds match the figure’s powerful and masculine appearance.[89]

The series’ paintings are collages made of several photoshop layers. The images range from abstract landscapes to elements of American iconography (trains, horses, carriages) and comprise characters such as the Hulk or an inflatable plastic monkey.[86] The landscape paintings often have explicit or implicit sexual content. For example, a recurrent crude line drawing of a vulva refers to Courbets L’Origine du Monde (1866).[90]

The Hulk Elvis series has been exhibited at a number of international art venues such as the Gagosian Gallery in London (2007), the Gagosian Gallery in Hong Kong, China (2014) and the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere in Vienna, Austria (2015).[91]

  • Popeye and Olive Oyl...
  • Andy Warhol's name and influence keep popping up in relation to Jeff Koons...

Popeye and Olive Oyl?

@AviciiKnewTooMuch:

Emphasis my own

So you tell me... was Avicii's death the result of a "drug overdose" or was he taken out because he knew too much? My belief is that he is only one of many who were killed because of what they knew about pedophilia and the Deep State. Consider: Prince, Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Robin Williams, and many others (Might do more threads on these in the future)... all died way before their time and all seemingly random suicides/overdoses.

New York-To Do


Love him or hate him, it’s impossible to deny the sway Jeff Koons has held over the art world for going on three decades. With his Whitney retrospective opening this week and all his Koonsian periods on view – from the iconic balloon animals and vitrine-sealed vacuum cleaners to his more recent forays into industrial-grade cartoon paintings and hanging trains – maybe we can all make up our minds once and for all.

“First and Foremost, You Have to Look”

New York-Art Inspection


For the last two years we've doing a lot of looking and watching and waiting with great excitement for the Renzo Piano-designed Whitney Museum of American Art to open in The Standard, High Line's backyard. Now it's here, and you can actually see into the galleries from our Hudson-facing guest rooms.~~

~~We had the privilege of sitting down with Chief Curator Donna De Salvo to discuss the institution's new home, its debut show, “America Is Hard to See”, and the simple pleasure of looking.


~~Do you hope people will come away with a new perspective on American art after seeing the show?

I hope so. The show is divided into 24 chapters and each one takes on a certain idea that is drawn from the collection. It’s a history as told through this collection. There’s no one history, there are multiple histories. But that said, there are also icons that we look on as markers in the history of American art, whether it’s Hopper, or Mark Rothko, or Warhol, or Alice Neel or Stuart Davis, or Jeff Koons.

Warhol sure seems to get a lot of love alongside Jeff Koons, from The Standard no-less... ( recall: Warhol | Pivar | Brassner | Trump Tower fire | NXIVM )

I wonder if there's any relation to following:

Kimberly Lynne Watzman, the general manager of the Standard Hotel in West Hollywood, was one of the three people killed in a helicopter crash in Newport Beach on Tuesday.

Watzman, 45, had worked as general for the Standard Hollywood on Sunset Boulevard since July 2015. Previously she had been a manager and director at the Standard in downtown Los Angeles.

Watzman, who lived in Santa Monica, was one of four people on the helicopter when it crashed. Others who died were Joseph Tena of Newport Beach, who apparently was the pilot, and Brian Reichelt of Hollywood, Fla. Another passenger was seriously injured and was taken to Orange County Global Medical Center in Santa Ana. Reichelt was the regional finance director for the Standard’s parent company.~~

West Hollywoods’s Mariah Sunshine Coogan Identified as Victim of Scottsdale Plane Crash

Thursday - April 12, 2018

One of four people identified thus far as having died in a private plane crash on April 9 in Scottsdale, Ariz., was Mariah Sunshine Coogan, a resident of West Hollywood.

HollywoodLife, the celebrity gossip site, reports that Coogan, 23, was flying to Las Vegas with several young friends, who also were killed. Three of them, including Coogan, are said to be “Instagram celebrities” because of their large following on that website. Coogan is known on Instagram as mariahsunshiinee, and has 31,300 followers.~~

~~Just before the crash, Coogan took a video of herself and fellow passengers, including Anand “Happy” Patel, 26, who also had a large Instagram following. The Federal Transportation Administration is looking into the cause of the crash, and it appears that James Pedroza, the 28-year-old pilot, did not have a pilot’s license.~~
