'Evil Squirrel' by Gaye Advert | |
A
visit to the upcoming 'Beyond Punk' exhibition curated by Gaye Advert at
The Signal Gallery in London this August should certainly be added to anyones
diary whom has ever been emotionally engaged by Punk. I had a chat with
Gaye the other day about the show and what inspired her to curate it, and
she said: "When the guys at Signal suggested I curate a show I thought it
would be interesting to bring together (ex) punk musicians who are artists,
as I knew a few, eg Knox, Charlie and Chris, and the more I looked into
it, the more I found, and by including some people who are primarily artists
but were involved/influenced by punk, I thought we could get a really interesting
mix." In relation to the pieces that'll be featured, Gaye said: "The works range from paintings (Knox, Charlie, Chris, Gee, Guy, Youth, Phil, Shanne and Guy) to drawings (Adam, Dee, Nick), to wood carvings (Steve), to silk screens on metal (Shepard) to collage (me). Some people are still working on their pieces. I am planning to put in my 'Christening' piece (logistics permitting) which contains my christening dress and an ancient photo of me modelling it!). I have had a few requests to include Evil Squirrel, a corpsepainted rubber toy in a bell jar amidst blood and bones, so he might make an appearance. I am also working on a series of 'black metal eyes' small resin coated boards with photos of Norwegian black metal band members' eyes collaged onto skulls, so I might include some of them too." - Steve |
