FYI ------ Forwarded Message From: Aquarium Gallery <info@aquariumgallery.co.uk> Date: Tue, 3 Aug 2004 19:01:50 +0100 To: steve@aquariumgallery.co.uk Subject: JAMES CAUTY / STOT21stCplanB Hello All, Below are details of just a couple of the many exciting projects we're currently involved in. More news on Jamie Reid prints and Billy Childish's new novel coming soon. S. JAMES CAUTY / BLACKSMOKE The Aquarium in association with Blacksmoke proudly present a new edition of prints. 4th, 5th and 6th Class by James Cauty A set of three prints featuring the Queen wearing a gas mask. 26" x 24" pigment prints on 260 gsm semi-gloss archival paper in a limited edition of £150 signed and numbered by the artist. £195 inc. VAT each Also available soon: BLACKOFF size, media & limitation to be confirmed More images are available on request. The artist & musician James Cauty ? cofounder of legendary bands The Orb and KLF, and art activists K-Foundation ? created Blacksmoke in 2003. It is an occasional art collective and musical group, focusing on issues of global environmental concern. The first release was a series entitled 'Blacksmoke Stamps of Mass Destruction' in response to the war on Iraq. That artwork appeared dramatically on the front cover of The Times newspaper on the 4th June 2003 due to the fuss the Royal Mail made over an alleged breach of copyright. More recently the Royal Mail have used legal muscle to force a small London gallery to withdraw their set of prints from sale. Their request that the prints be either destroyed or given to them is still under dispute. STOT21stCplanB In conjunction with the publication of this new set of prints The Aquarium will also be offering for sale a set of prints created by STOT21stCplanB. Individually titled ?Lick My Arse?, ?Lock Him Up & Throw Away the Key the Thieving Talentless Cunt!? and ?We Always Hurt the Ones We Love? these images have been badly copied from the Blacksmoke Stamps of Mass Destruction and are collectively known as the 3rd Rate Jimmy Cauty Rip-off Stamps. Images available on request. The musical wing of this anarcho art noise group will be breaking their policy of complete inaction by making a debut live at the TDK Cross Central Festival curiously billed as Scorpio Thunderbolt on the NU Cult Alliance stage. A spokesperson for the group said: "By appearing live we intend to destroy the entertainment industry and drag rock music down into the dirt where it belongs." As an afterthought he added: "We will almost undoubtedly fail." If you like the sensation of having your head pummelled into the ground by someone much smaller than you go check them out.
