Invader โข Space Waffle ๐ง, by eschiff on Dec 12, 2011 20:17:23 GMT 1, If you are near The Outsiders I would recommend the short film showing downstairs of Invader out for a night on the town. Just brilliant. Didn't get a waffle thought... out of waffle mix. I passed on buying the waffle maker as no one could give me a straight answer of who I should phone if it develops a fault while making breakfast one morning? At least if I buy one from Argos I can get it swapped or refunded straight away! Now if he makes Breville sandwich toaster I could be swayed...
the film made me dizzy!

Be even more interested to see if the waffles stand the test of time!!

What about a Invader steak in formaldehyde for the next release?

Invader โข Space Waffle ๐ง, by absentee on Dec 13, 2011 18:56:44 GMT 1, i agree its a low but only because it's being sold at ยฃ300, if it was released as a bit of fun on the night of the opening for a quarter of the price where alot more people could take something home then all good.
I agree, ยฃ300 is an unbelievable price. A cheap waffle release would've been far better and maybe not have left this bad taste in peoples mouths (forgive the pun)
However i thought the show was ace. The movie downstairs was great and i thought upstairs was a nice mixture of bits. I could've done without the disco ball though, it takes up a whole room and didn't do a lot for me...

i had one. a fresh one. just cooked. definitely worth ยฃ1. Which was ยฃ1 more than it cost. Where the other ยฃ299 (less, i guess, ยฃ50 for perspex) came from, I have no idea.
Ask yourself seriously. 2 questions.
1) Is this a piece of art that I can justify to my children that I spent a chunk of their inheritance on because it was totally unmissable
2) Is this just a piss take. Great concept, but an office in-joke on the whole ยฃ300 thing.

1. I've never spent any of my children's inheritance on a piece of art and I've bought a lot of art. Anyone who's dipping into their savings to buy this probably shouldn't be buying art in the first place. The edition sold out, quickly so the price probably isn't an issue for the people who did buy it.
2. I don't think it's as much of an in-joke as it tied to the theme of the show he did and it's not a stretch how the artist envisions the tiles of the waffle like the work he does on the street. I swear most of the hate for these and the new prints is because they aren't deemed 'flippable' by most of the people complaining. I like Invader, I own quite a few pieces from him and I'd rather own this then the signed maps or signed sticker sheets which he's released in the past which I thought were significantly over priced.
I think it's hard to understand gallery pricing sometimes but they and the artist need to get paid. Is it over priced? Probably. But it's not in any way worthy of the hate it's getting. Some people should head over to that MBW thread to see something that is worthy of hate for just being poor in execution and concept.

Invader โข Space Waffle ๐ง, by Deux Spin on Dec 14, 2011 8:41:20 GMT 1, I think selling the waffles was a genius idea, and the show took his art in new directions. Considering Invader charges about ยฃ150 for his signature (e.g. signed map over standard) I don't think the nicely framed box is completely unreasonable, I was just slightly disappointed to find out they weren't treated to last.
One thing is for sure, when an artist can get away with selling something perishable, you know he's onto something!

I actually prefer the shape of these, almost the same shape as Invaders signature ;D

Invaders waffles are a bit of festive fun at ยฃ1 a pop but a seriously overpriced gimmick dressed up as art at ยฃ300 a pop. imo.

Interesting read on perishable art. On another note, what does it cost to make a woodcut print? Less than a waffle! You are paying for the artist's hand.
