An NYC exhibit displays 3,000 works from English punk band Crass’ seven-year reign
Though London’s famed punk venue The Roxy is now a decidedly sober Speedo Swimwear outlet, in the late ’70s and early ’80s, the U.K. was in the midst of a royal cultural battle between the Thatcherite establishment and a new breed of shock-and-awe artists and musicians. At the forefront of the movement, the English band Crass’ two-chord rant Banned from The Roxy was somewhat of an anthem for the times.
Preserved for posterity are 3,000 fanzines, flyers, posters, manuscripts and original works of art sent to the band between 1977 and 1984. These punk artifacts have been collected and cataloged by visual artist Gee Vaucher, who collaborated with the band and still resides at Dial House, a collective in the Essex countryside.
These works have crossed the Atlantic for a special viewing from 30 September-20 October 2011 at Boo-Hooray in NYC. The gallery has also published a limited edition (250 copies) catalog along with 500 pressings of a 7-inch vinyl recording featuring Crass’ Penny Rimbaud, with cover art by Vaucher.
An opening reception will be held from 6-9pm Friday, 30 September 2011. RSVP online at Boo-Horray. See images in the gallery.
A revolutionary space heater from the U.K.’s leading appliance producer
James Dyson has been turning appliances into art since launching his bright pink G-Force vacuum cleaner in 1983. Never ceasing to innovate, the eponymous line has grown to include several styles of vacuums, hand dryers, fans and now, a heater. The Dyson Hot draws on the technology used in the bladeless Air Multiplyer Fan, passing a stream of air over an airfoil-shaped ramp. Surrounding air is drawn in, amplified six times through induction and heated with 20 ceramic stones, never exceeding 392 degrees and alleviating the burning smell many heaters emit.
Taking over two years (and hundreds of prototypes) to develop, the Dyson Hot also uses as little energy as possible. Once the room has reached the desired temperature, the heater turns off and only turns back on once it detects the temperature has dropped.
Claiming to heat the whole room faster than any other heater, the oscillating Dyson Hot not only looks good, but is a valuable commodity for any chilly home or office. The Hot comes in white or blue with silver colorways and will sell online and in stores for £270.
