In May I took part in the first Mill Co. group exhibition held at The Russian Club in East London. The theme of the exhibition was community (as befitting a co-operative) so I made a series of paintings to celebrate the crap, cute and wrong images people share on interwebz communities like MySpace – titled the Graphic Interchange Format Paintings after the humble .gif image format.
Lots of great people took part in the show including Patternity, Si Scott, Richard Kelly, Kevin Cummins, Karina Lax, Lisa Stannard, Inventory and loads of other people too. It was a reet boozy doo, collecting the most women from Rochdale in one East London venue ever.
Creative Review were there, and The Ballad Of too, plus Dazed and Confused and various other other happening people popped in to drink the free booze look at the work.
You can buy the work from the show in the shop and all proceeds go to the Mill Co. Foundation – which is set up to help children with health and learning disabilities get involved in making stuff and being creative.
Here’s my work – The Graphic Interchange Format Paintings – acrylic on canvas, none of your digital shit.
