Meeting Up for a Deal, by Ruggs on Jul 12, 2017 14:17:15 GMT 1, Just done a deal with someone on the forum for a piece of my art. He's paid me the full amount in advance. Luckily, I'm staying with friends next weekend close to where he lives in East Sussex. We're going to firm up a place to meet over that weekend so i can hand over his purchase. Done similar deals before without a hitch.

New Faile print, Size of the Fight, by Ruggs on Jul 11, 2017 11:49:17 GMT 1, I think that looks quite beautiful. Even more so without any margins. Reminds me of the 70's.

Miaz Brothers 🇮🇹 Portrait Painters • Roberto & Renato Miaz, by Ruggs on Jul 11, 2017 9:42:45 GMT 1, They've also raised all the prices of prints by £15 e.g. Miazs' Friend #5 was £250, now £265 ... I think that might be to offset the 'free' postage.

Art Car Boot Fair, by Ruggs on Jul 10, 2017 19:32:52 GMT 1, I don't understand why anyone would want to sell a queue card. It's part of the provenance for the print, that and any receipt of sale. In the future If the person selling the card has kept the print then decides to sell any potential buyer would question the whereabouts of the card and could question the authentication of the print. Plain daft to me. Unfortunately, the Q card handed out do not match the print number they came with. When I collected my print - I showed them my card and they handed me a print in a bag - from a pile. I didn't need to sign anything too! Maybe I should have gone back for another and tried my luck (I wouldn't- that was a joke!) I know they all had the same number. It was a laser copy of 50/50. My point is everyone who got one on the day was handed a queue card. Its an important piece of card. Definitely worth keeping inmy opinion, as is any receipt. Might not be important now but in years to come it might be. I wouldn't buy one without a queue card and receipt (if they gave you one).

Harland Miller Artwork, VALUATION, by Ruggs on Jul 9, 2017 15:55:13 GMT 1, Theres quite a bit of Harland Miller being sold at the moment i am guessing the sellers are thinking his prices are at the top and will start to fall? Or on the other hand I they might be thinking I better buy now before they go beyond my affordability.

Harland Miller Show , by Ruggs on Jul 6, 2017 23:36:12 GMT 1, Just got back to the Suffolk countryside. Had a great afternoon out in hot, sunny London. Managed to get myself a copy of 'International Lonely Guy' from Newport Street thanks to a kind forum member. Met up with lots of forumites. Far too many to mention. Thanks Danny for my drink, I owe you one. I really enjoyed the show. Loved his new works especially 'If', 'Up' and 'Bi-'. Some of them were bloody massive. Got all four of his books signed, thanks to Andy.

Harland Miller Show , by Ruggs on Jul 5, 2017 16:35:59 GMT 1, Sounds like he might also be doing a signing, or releasing something else at the Other Criteria stall too.. "In collaboration with Newport Street Gallery, Other Criteria will host a selection of artists at The Art Car Boot Fair, selling unique works and holding book signings throughout the day. Including Harland Miller, Mustafa Hulusi, Helen Beard, Phillip Allen, Marcus Harvey & Rachel Howard." Unsigned copies of his 'International Lonely Guy' and 'Wherever you are' books available on their stall, nothing more. I'm after 'International Lonely Guy' book if anyone can help me out.

Harland Miller Show , by Ruggs on Jul 4, 2017 18:58:12 GMT 1, I know there's a pre-preview on Wednesday which i'm sure Harland Miller will attend. Just wondered if anyone knows if he'll be there again on Thursday too? The pre-preview has been cancelled and all the money that would have been spent is being donated to the Grenfell fund and to the charity that supports UK Terror Attack victims. Harland will be there on Thursday... Well done to White Cube and Harland Miller. Thanks wenters!

Harland Miller Show , by Ruggs on Jul 4, 2017 15:46:07 GMT 1, Anyone thinking of queuing especially for the 50 Harland Miller postcard prints. Be wary of stall holders and their assistants making a beeline for the Art on a Postcard stand upon opening. Same happened when Turps Banana did the Damien Hirst print a few years ago. It was complete bedlam and it pissed a lot of people off. are the queues to get in normally very very long? I live nearby and this is the first one I am going to I imagine there will be people sleeping out Saturday night. People will rock up early Sunday and the queues will be very long by the time it opens. You'll find quite a lot of relatives and friends subtly pushing in.

Harland Miller Show , by Ruggs on Jul 3, 2017 20:45:48 GMT 1, Harland Miller One Bar Electric Memoir Preview: Thursday 6 July, 6-8pm 7 July – 9 September 2017 Mason's Yard
White Cube is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by Harland Miller at Mason’s Yard. ‘One Bar Electric Memoir’ includes two series’ of paintings that continue and expand Miller’s investigation into the relationship between viewer, text and image.
The first series of large-scale works draws on Miller’s extensive archive of psychology and social science books, which date from the 1960s and 1970s. Characterised by their bold and colourful abstract covers, these books embrace a positive attitude and the possibility of ‘fixing’ disorders through a process of self-help. The geometric cover designs not only drew parallels with contemporary abstract painting, but also provided a foil to the darker aspects of social neurosis addressed by the books content. As Miller has commented, they hail ‘from that very particular, positive, post-war era when information was being made more available and being hungered for, too. It was often practical and pre-jargon and to do with fixing things – fixing society, fixing yourself...’.
In Miller’s paintings, three-dimensional architectonic forms in bright, pop colours float against solid saturated backgrounds and are paired with fictional, sardonically humorous titles such as Armageddon – is it too much to ask? (2017), Reverse Psychology isn’t working (2017) and Immediate Relief... Coming Soon (2017). Occasionally, the same title appears on different compositions, highlighting how colour, form and context can change both the rhythm and meaning of words. Similarly to the titles, Miller’s abstract imagery can also be read in different ways. Commenting on the work Armageddon – is it too much to ask?, for example, he says: ‘It’s an image that you see one way – then, when you relax, it flips and, no matter how hard you try, you can’t see it the original way. It’s symbolic of the way you read the title.’ These works reflect a departure for the artist, whose previous series of Penguin paperback paintings were re-appropriations of an existing object. Here, for the first time, Miller creates his own designs, focusing more closely on the impact of the image itself.
In another series of fictional book cover paintings, Miller depicts the outlines of letters in a range of typefaces and bright colours, intersected or layered over each other to create short, enigmatic words such as ‘up’ or ‘bi’. Through a process of isolation, overlaying and re-connecting, Miller creates a sense of depth in the image that deconstructs and abstracts the meaning of language itself. With their bold, saturated colours, these paintings reference American abstraction and, in particular Robert Rauschenberg and Ed Ruscha’s use of vernacular signage and motifs. Miller has said about this series: ‘The idea is to make paintings that are just words, in contrast to the titles of previous works’.
In both series’ of paintings the artist continues to use his own name as author. While the presence of Miller’s name alludes to the actual authorship of both image and text, fact and fiction become blurred, allowing for the artist’s deadpan humour to provoke, question and draw attention to the context and content of each work.
In 2018, Harland Miller presents a five part series with the same title, ‘One Bar Electric Memoir’ for BBC Radio 3.
Harland Miller was born in Yorkshire in 1964 and lives and works in London. Group exhibitions include ‘Fools Rain’, ICA, London (1996); ‘Direct Painting’, Kunsthalle, Mannheim (2004); ‘Summer Exhibition’, Royal Academy of Arts, London (2005, 2006) and ‘The Sculpture in the Close’, Jesus College, Cambridge (2013). Solo exhibitions include ‘Don't Let the Bastards Cheer You Up’, BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead (2009) and ‘The Next Life’s On Me’, White Cube Hoxton Square, London (2012). In 2008 Miller curated a group exhibition, ‘You dig the tunnel, I'll hide the soil’ staged across two venues, White Cube Hoxton Square and Shoreditch Town Hall, in London.
