Timo Ketola 1st draft for TRANSMISSIONS V art commission

Very pleased to be working together with Timo Ketola once again... this time on the poster artwork for TRANSMISSIONS V festival in Ravenna this March (which I am also co-curating). The visual side is a sort of co-art direction, where I will also do the typography (but Ketola does the real manifestation work obviously). Timo permits me to post the drafts. Very very interesting to converse and work together with this man. DAVTHVS!

Here is his personal website.

Will be exhibiting at Whitney Biennial this year on a project directed by Gisèle Vienne. Peter Rehberg and I created the sound design for her "LAST SPRING: A Prequel" installation. Dennis Cooper wrote a great text which is narrated by one of Gisèle's AUTOMAT DOLLS. In the set there is also a large wall drawing which was designed by myself.
