In 2019 for a very short period a bath mat (both small and large) with printed pumpkin was offered for sale. The design was striking since only circa 5% of the surface was used for the image. In less than two months it was taken from the website of Redbubble.

The title of this series “Painted Street Collection” refers to one of Franck Bragigand’s recycling methods. He collects all kinds of objects found in the garbage on the street, which he then cleans, sands and paints. Here he only applied a method of working that he calls ‘Un plan, une couleur’ (trans. “One plane, one colour”), i.e. painting a yellow layer of paint on one side of each cassette.

RODARTE & NO AGE, film by TODD COLE, The Thing Quarterly, Issue 24, [ 12″ picture disc]

RODARTE and NO AGE TODD COLE, The Thing Quarterly, Issue 24
condition mint, comes in publisher’s seal
published by The Thing Quarterly,San Francisco, USA
€ 145,- plus € 24,- Track & Trace registered EU mail
inv. TTQ 000-pr

‘Issue 24 was by Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte, with contributions from experimental punk band No Age and director/photographer Todd Cole. It thematically revolved around the idea of deconstruction, a common theme in Rodarte’s design work. The record’s sound and imagery were repurposed from ‘Aanteni’ (2010), a short art and fashion film produced by Rodarte, which also featured direction by Todd Cole and an original soundtrack by No Age. The film explored similar themes of balance and chaos.

The 12” picture disc on clear vinyl featured two tracks by No Age. Side A featured the ambient 9-minute soundtrack from ‘Aanteni’ with an abstracted film still by Todd Cole. Side B featured a 13-minute live version of the track, “ruined” by looping the sound repeatedly on itself, with burnt remnants of Todd’s same film still. A highly conceptualized inner sleeve and gatefold jacket housed the issue, displaying more of Todd’s imagery.’ The Thing Quarterly, 2014
