Q&A with David Shrigley:

1. Where do you get your inspiration for your work?

From God

2.    Please describe your work in 6 words.

What I do when I’m awake.

3.    What are your first thoughts when you hear about PRINGLE of Scotland?

Scottish sweaters worn by golfers.

4.    How did the collaboration with PRINGLE occur?

Pringle wanted a Scottish artist and I am the Scottish artist they chose. I was hoping to get a free sweater so I agreed.

5.    TWIN-Set, Argyle Pattern and David Shrigley how does it fit?

It fits very comfortably. Not too tight, not too loose.

6.    What are your impressions of Scotland, the homeland of David Shrigley and Pringle of Scotland

Scotland has beautiful scenery, interesting cities and it rains a lot.

7.    What does heritage mean to you?

Heritage is society’s baggage (if you’re being cynical).

8.    What do you know about the fashion-world?

Everything I know I learned from watching Ugly Betty

9.    Why is drawing your preferred medium?

Because it’s the easiest way for me to express myself.


Pl   Please describe the work process with PRINGLE? What about the exchange of ideas?

They said “do some drawings about twin sets” and I said “What’s a twin set” and they told me and I did some drawings about twin sets.

Last but not least: Presentation tonight 18:00 – 00:00 @ Andreas Murkudis Münzstr. 21 (this is the reward for scrolling down all the way :P

Want to visit Iraq without leaving Berlin?

August 16, 2009

Was asked on an invitation we got the other day … and yes – we did!

The Green Zone seems to really exist in Berlin! What does it take to run a party in an old Iraqi embassy in the middle of Berlin? Well I suppose not a lot. A generator, two lapt tops, speakers and a but more. Setup a bar invite people and word  to mouth in Berlin works for itself in Berlin. That`s it your are set to go and have a great time!

Find the video of me entering the property below!

For our readers from NYC Thursday, NYC: SLIDELUCK POTSHOW XIII

August 3, 2009

For all of you that are in NYC at the moment or the ones that are going there we can highly recommend this event! Cheers from Berlin.

e1244469984

First, some good news:  a few short weeks ago, Slideluck Potshow received full (501c3) non-profit status.  As well, the SLPS Network was just featured on Mashable in a piece about how arts organizations are effectively using social media.  Slideluck was also just named as one of theNewYork100 most rule-breaking, model-changing ideas to come out of the Big Apple by All Day Buffet, which was then highlighted on numerous other blogs.

And now for the celebration:  Please join us this Thursday, beginning at 6:30pm, for the thirteenth edition of Slideluck Potshow in New York.  This will be a very special multimedia slideshow and potluck dinner — we hope you are able to be a part of it!

Please bear in mind that this is a potluck dinner! Rather than asking what this event will do for you, try to think about what you can bring to the table.  We know that a Thursday potluck poses some challenges, so kindly plan ahead.  Make something the night before, pick something tasty up after work, and please bring the booze of your choice.

We will be gathering at Canoe Studios, a gorgeous new 24,000 sq ft space with a large balcony on the 14th floor of the Starret-Lehigh building — just a stone’s throw from the Hudson River.  The MAC Groupis creating a Hollywood Golden Age-style portrait studio to add a little timelessness to your evening.  We encourage you to dress the part!

Again, becoming a Member of Slideluck Potshow is highly-recommended, especially for those who want to avoid long lines.  Year-long memberships begin at $20 and all members will receive priority access as well as some great merchandise at the event.  Members will also be able to purchase men’s Slideluck t-shirts and women’s camisoles and boy shorts for half-price.  Save yourself some time bybecoming a member now.

It’s been exactly a year since the last Slideluck in New York and there’s a lot of anticipation surrounding this one.  Let’s make it the best ever.

Warm Regards,
Casey
