Nice to see Faile paying respect the godfather of neon / dayglo Mr. Keith Haring. It is also nice to see Faile pay respect by starting to use manequins just like LA2 and Keith did back in the 80's.

Cracking looking show, a real event. (Top left's a jockey, young Lester Piggot ?)

[Gentle Mental]

If ever there was a good excuse for getting blacklights installed in your house, it's this.

What a fantastic show. Absolutely loved the arcade, although was a little disappointed there wasn't a little more to the tokens.
The Faile retrospective was great also. Plenty of prints and originals I had never seen before and great to see their progression through the years and also changing styles and media techniques used.
As always great to meet up with a few fellow forum members.
Well worth a visit for anyone who is not yet converted.

That's what I was going to say, although I'm sure it's not

[Happy Shopper]

Great show, but a bit quiet when I was there. Did it pick up later?

I think you should be able to just rock up today. Last night they seemed to be ok with anyone going in, though were wielding a guest list clipboard, which fortunately I swerved.
It's well worth a look; great show with lots of nice developed traditional, as well as original ideas. The arcades lend themselves so well to their graphics, both externally and on the screen. All in all a visual treat; which did have a great seedy quality to it too as you go inside and downstairs, which consciously or not tied in well with the area’s links with dodgy video shops and the 'red light' vibe! Tell you what; it would make a great bar down there!

loved the proffesional camera last mr ronhill , good to finally meet you!!!!

[adewilliams]

Deluxx Fluxx is just brilliant - I nearly fell down the stairs. I didn't feel the retrospective at Rathbone said enough, 10 years of faile could have been so much better. Some stuff was quite special but only 1 floor. It needed to be bigger.

Agreed. I felt the inclusion of Challenger and the papermonster Fight Vanity was simply to make up the numbers. The canvases are great but some prints from the golden era (2006) were needed.

But its all about the Greek St exhib for me.

What's the deal with all of the old canvases and prints on the walls? Were they for sale? Saw some of them in the NYC show couple years ago — is Laz putting them on the market on behalf of the original purchasers or did they hold those pieces back?

[Sacked...]

Maybe they were from Steves personal collection.I think 2 of them were from the 'Glimmering' show,so maybe they had.nt sold ?

[graffalo]

I was told that most were on loan from collectors and that some might be for sale if an offer was made at the right price.

[thesewalls]

most things are for sale at the right price. show looks intergalactic. congrats to all those who got/get to see it in person.

[skanky]

The large Happens Every Day is one of my fav pieces ever !
