Dear All
I would like to invite you for my first solo exhibition in Europe, called "A Bag of Grease".
The show starts Friday June 8th at the great gallery Vallery in Barcelona, Spain.
On display will be a line of especially made big-format posters, the latest line of my own It's Our Thing (together with Matthias at Sweatshop Union) t-shirt/sweatshirt label and those items will also be available to buy in a limited quantity.
"A Bag of Grease" is a collection of works celebrating influences I've carried with me for a long time and in Barcelona they come to life through the posters, t-shirts/sweatshirts, walldrawings and some three-dimensional objects. For you who not know my works too well a collection of older works from the past two years will also be shown. See attached press text for more info.
My aim with this exhibition is not to get a single concept through, the way I work have the last few years been fueled by a restlessness and I've been jumping from making t-shirts to stationary and logos to exhibitions and airbrush-emulations. All this will be well represented in Barcelona, but bigger and better.
ªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªª

Bless Bless! (thanks SP for the link). Catalogue design by Mr Raeder!
Bless came to fame in the winter of 97/98, when the models of a Martin Margiela fashion show wore Bless wigs made out of fur. Heralded as one of fashion’s most innovative designers, the Paris and Berlin-based duo (Desiree Heiss and Ines Kaag) quickly refused to capitalize on one milieu. Constantly investigating the boundaries of style, Bless slides from fashion to beauty, interior decoration to art exhibition, collaboration with other brands to stylized advertising.
Their production, which sits on the fine line between art object and design, high function and high fashion, is always unique and marked by the recycling and adaptation of unexpected items put to use in a totally new way.

Earthquakes and Aftershocks was an exhibition of CalArtsian posters in France. It became a catalogue designed by JSLB and STRIPELA's Jon Sueda and Yasmin Khan. Now it is a website you can visit. Wonders to be looked at.
