CNDP Mass Extinction Cull, by Strange Al on May 24, 2007 16:57:15 GMT 1, โAs people consume the commodities or image-objects of the spectacle they become part of the spectacle, making rebellion against it hard. Even the most radical gesture gets recuperated into the spectacle and turned into a commodity, negating its subversive meaning - โIt is a question not of elaborating the spectacle of refusal, but rather of refusing the spectacleโ. Everything becomes a commodity, even TV, radio, the internet, books, ideas, thoughts, desires, stamps and limited edition prints. โRebellionโ is sold back to us as an image that pacifies us.โ The PMG.... as copied from something on the web.
Rather than continue being complicit in the arrangement of selling rebel chic lifestyle consumables to you, the Child Labour Force, The Management and The Artists of the CNPD are now on strike until further notice. As posted on: www.cnpdonline.com/

The editions are popular but pale beside the hysteria of POW releases etc plus there is now a lot more to choose from. Bizarre really as some of his stuff is superb. I think he might also be getting a bit bored with the whole thing and move more into one offs. Would be interesting to get the inside track though

Correct: - Update from the C.N.P.D. 'James Cauty meanwhile, is working on a series of paintings and large mixed media pieces'. JC was also spotted at the recent Dan Baldwin show in Brighton so it will probably involve skulls.....

CNDP Mass Extinction Cull, by finsburyparkranger on May 26, 2007 21:42:08 GMT 1, The whole cull concept was so unnecessary. All he needed to do was make less prints than he thought he could sell, sell them, then do it again. It was a simple concept he never seemed to want to employ. The whole business of having an edition that no one knew exactly how many prints were in the edition caused the novice to stay well clear because they didn't know how rare each print really was, even though the editions were often rarer than people thought. Madness. Maybe he always presumed he could sell more than was actually the case. Maybe he just likes just burning money? ;D
Best of luck to him though, the worlds a far more colourful place because of mr cauty.

My thoughts exactly, I think he will do some one off pieces as discussed previously but the limited edition print market for Cauty is now becoming a cliche, exclusivity and agitation do not sit comfortably, that is what Cauty has always been about and to be honest I hope he gets back to.
