16th August 2007 - Brick 24 - The Art of being a Rock Star

An interesting collaboration between Brother John and ex Goldblade member Brother Wayne.

Wayne is now a highly respected graphic designer, photographer and actor, his latest project is a book; Brick 24-7 which examines the 'art of being a rock star' The 'model' used throughout the project is Brother John.

 

Brick 24/7

Brick 24-7 is an attempt to capture the art of being a rockstar.

It examines the continuation of an audio artistic project.

The art it discusses is therefore frequently challenging and provocative.

One of the aims has been to retain a sense of it's inner dynamic by emphasizing the lifestyle and visual energy that informed it's contexts.

The framework is broadly chronological; while it deals with issues of cultural politics, gender identity, the structure of a genre.

Although I have attempted to balance a range of contrasting opinions this book would lack urgency without the vibrant viewpoint of the artist.

As consequence photography, performance, conceptual proposals, installation art film, video and appropriations from mass culture play an equal part in this book alongside painting and sculpture, modernism and cultural politics.

LIMITED EDITION 1000

When a new magazine appears on the stands with a sales pitch like this.. You know you've got to get a copy!!

 

"If you're an artist, titty twister, kustom car freak, groupie, ghastly one...

If you're a trilby donned lounge lizard, a nipple-pastie twirling vixen, a hot, sweaty throb of pure garage rock god, a high quiffed, hairsprayed harlot, a raging, racy, roller derby dame...

If you're a smoking jacket clad, fez wearing shriner, a demon double bassist, a greased jeans garage head, a lurid masked, glitter pant wearing mexican wrestler...then we are the ones for you... "
