"LISTS" - ARTIST EDITIONS

Bear with me... 

as part of the "LISTS" project we collaborated with 9 artists to produce 9 images, which The Positive Press then screen-printed for an exhibition (which finishes this weekend BTW)...

We then also created 'Artist Editions' of the record we released, these are limited to 10 of each version. (so 90 limited records in total) It consists of the original sleeve with an extra edition tab, hand-stamped and numbered, with a wrap-around riso-graphed poster of the artists image (those of you that own an original 'Teenage Kicks' 7" will know what this looks like) and a cute little sticker on the front.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

They look bloody swell & half of these have gone already, you can purchase the other half RIGHT HERE. (let us know which one you want)

Here are what they look like, apparently Canon cameras like rotating things...

PAINTINGS OF NOTHING

Fellow co-conspiritor and collaborator R M Phoenix is delivering his first visual display of high concept abstractions this coming weekend. His work is an exploration through conflicting forms and ideas, exploring the use of simple, minimal space and complex compositional tools, harnessing the potential tensions derived from the combination of the two. He is attempting to create order on the canvas through tight compositional grids whilst allowing loose, fluid, painterly gestures to create a friction on the canvas. Echoing Howard Hodgkin & Tomory Dodge's bold powerful brushstrokes and the purity and clarity contained with Robert Ryman's white paintings, he channels Bertolt Brecht's Verfremdungseffekt to create a distancing between viewer and subject; an obscuring of what lies beneath the stark, bold subtleties in much of his work. Reflecting his own studies into mass genocide and the complexities of human nature, he is exploring the dialectic between violence and beauty, understanding how abstract art can be at all relevant in an uncertain and often destructive world.
