Lemon Poppy
Seed
I have been featured in Die Gestalten Verlag´s latest release: Lemon Poppy Seed. This book is a compilation of work by young, international artists whose styles defy current trends and classifications and are all the more brilliant for doing so. The book is the perfect source for those who want to see the organic development of new artistic terrain before the mainstream attempts to erect shopping centres upon it. Buy the book here.
Thanks Oli for the picture!!

Aludd exhibition
opens.
Alud, the spanish Word for a mud avlanche, is a large mass of material moving rapidly and razing whatever it finds it its way and re-arranging the landscape in a new way… sometimes nice, sometimes creepy. Aludd is bringing Ned Ludd, the leader of the artisans in the early nineteenth century destroyed machines in the first years of the Industrial Revolution, back to life. Aludd is a direct attack to our perceptions schemes. Aludd is Max-o-matic´sfirst solo show featuring his most recent work. Aludd will take place in one of his most beloved galleries: Duduá. Opening: march 7th, 2008. 20h @ Duduá.
Duduá is located in Barcelona´s Born quarter, in 6, Rossic st. Tel. (+34) 93 315 04 01. The galery/shop opens from tuesday to thursday from 16.30 to 20.30 and Fidays and Saturdays from 11 to 14 and from 17 to 2
