Wrongteous

Leo Fitzmaurice and Paul Rooney at the Launch of Wrongteous 
 
A new publication from Art Editions North, Wrongteous is a limited edition 160pp hardback book, with colour plates, which incorporates existing and newly commissioned UK and international visual art and fiction writing. 

Wrongteous was launched at A Foundation, Greenland St. Liverpool on Friday 19th September 2008

The works of visual art and short fiction in Wrongteous – spanning one hundred years, various artistic styles and media – are reminders of the longstanding relevance of subtle but profound unease to the making of art. The works often speak of moral uncertainty and social and personal malaise, but they are never sensational or gratuitous, and use seemingly traditional forms or techniques to speak of deeply troubling modern anxieties. The intention is to allow the works within Wrongteous to create relationships with each other that are not prescribed by a narrow thematic conceit or any simple geographical or formal connection between the artists or works. The collection is edited by artists Leo Fitzmaurice and Paul Rooney.

 Kafka - Comes to the Playhouse
Not the promotional picture for Metamorphosis.  But if you have never seen or read Metamorphosis then the Playhouse has a real treat in store early next month especially if you like your stories to have a people turning into beetles. (Not those beatles.) This is a truly fantastic story and has had rave reviews after showing in London's Westend. Blurb:  - This hugely acclaimed and imaginative production combines jaw-dropping aerial action, a gravity-defying split level set and a mesmerising score by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. There is no way that this version is ever going to be better that the musical version I have been working on for a number of years but I still can't wait and for £8 it's a bargain.
