Jamie Reid ๐ฌ๐ง Sex Pistols โข God Save the Queen โข Collage, by Bill Hicks on Aug 10, 2023 17:30:45 GMT 1, JAMIE REID LOVE ALWAYS R.I.P. For those who havenโt heard already, we are very sad to announce the death of Jamie Reid, 16 January 1947 โ 8th August 2023.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends and all those he touched around the world with his love. His reach was wide.
Jamie was also one of the fundamental foundation stones and building blocks of all we do at L-13.
Before I met him our first not-art event (I refuse to call it an exhibition) was an inquiry into the Situationists (The SI and After: What is Living and What is Dead in the Situationist International, the aquarium, 2003) in which a full set of Suburban Press publications was a prize item on display.
I met him shortly after as he became involved in the Stop the War Coalition protests against the war in Iraq, lending some work for a fund-raising show of art against war - Pax Britannica: A Hellish Peace, the aquarium, 2004. Other artists involved were a little-known Banksy, and art luminaries such as Anthony Caro, David Hamilton, Ralph Steadman and STOT21stCplanB โ to name a few. Jimmy Cauty and Billy Childish also muscled their way in at some point, but initially it was Jamie I was most interested in.
When Jamie came to visit we hit it off immediately โ sharing a keen sense of humour, critical disdain and love of creativity and human potential in equal measure โ him settling into the L-13 sofa to chain smoke and bat the wind as I rushed around doing stuff.
We quickly decided we should do a show of Jamieโs paintings on slate later that year, and as they say, the rest is history.
The paintings on slate were not the Dada-esque Situationist graphics he was best known for, but beautiful, intensely-coloured cosmic compositions painted on ancient slate (some of which came from his own roof). We also made some insane wallpaper to line the gallery walls, a crated edition of screen-printed slates, and numerous prints to support the show. Many people didnโt get it of course. The words โnew ageโ, โhippieโ and โshitโ were bandied about a fair bit, but we didnโt care. It was a great show and the start of a beautiful relationship.
Jamie was also canny enough to know that by publishing editions of an old biddy in a crown or some other graphic work related to a band he once helped define we could support his less commercial work and put food on the table for his and my families. Heโd signed away some rights to exploit the said band but we always found ways to re-invent or side-step any issues โ or steamroller through with blatant disregard. Never Trust a Punk from 2007 was one of my favourites.
In 2007 we collaborated with John Marchant Gallery in doing an amazing exhibition of work from Jamieโs archive: May Day May Day (THE AQUARIUM L-13, 2007). When we closed down our space on Farringdon Road to reinvent ourselves as the L-13 Light Industrial Workshop and stopped doing โexhibitionsโ, John stepped in more to help administer the archive and do exhibitions with Jamie. Also curating survey shows around the world culminating with the excellent critically-acclaimed retrospective Jamie Reid XXXXX: 50 Years of Subversion and the Spirit (Humber Street Gallery, Hull, 2019), for which we project managed and co-published the even more excellent accompanying book Jamie Reid XXXXX.
Our collaborations continued with Jamie until his last days. He took our Sophie under his wing and was her biggest fan. Encouraging her in her own work as Foxtrot Lightning and making collaborative political work with her other persona Sister Voila.
Some things planned will now never be fulfilled. We were due to release a special signed edition of his book Rogue Materialโs for Rough Trade โ complete with a โRough Trade Welcomes Shopliftersโ sticker, but sadly never got the bookplates and photocopies to him to sign. He was also keen to do a collaboration with Not Banksy which would have been a great laugh, but sometimes there are just not enough hours in a day or days in a life.
So Jamieโฆ you crazy old rogue: Peace, love and eternal bliss.
Youโre in our hearts always.
Steve Lowe, 2 days on, 2023.
And I didnโt mention the Sex Pistols once! โฆ oops
P.S. Sophie says: He had a big heart and cared deeply, about people and nature. Full of infectious joy & enthusiasm for activism and protest movements, matched by a fierce disdain of authority and injustice. A believer in the mystical, in people power, in mother nature. Keep warm, make trouble, wherever you are, and hope you are having a rave up with the ancestors. All love x www.L-13.org

FWIW I think the GSTQ need really OTT framing. Here's mine:
