Hat, beard and sunglasses,
maybe still turn one’s collar up, and the possibility to be identified in the crowd drops enormously – indirectly proportional, the possibility to be pushed on stage by the security staff raises… Very shortly after Kid Rock, the second Blues Brother came under my screen: Jan Delay. He filled the concert halls on his tour with his Disco No. 1. The poster was printed with five screens, with day glow colors and lucent silver on very fine, cream white cardboard. And as it has to be for disco, the poster goes up to No. 1 under ultraviolet light! Already the second time, Conor Oberst was served in our house: Right now, Bright Eyes are touring around the world to convince as many people as possible of the quality of their new album “The People’s Key”. And, different from the Blues Brothers, eyes can definitely be seen on the poster for the Bright Eyes concert in Berlin. But these aren’t Mr. Oberst’s eyes glowing here, but the ones that decorate the peak of the pyramid which makes the back of the dollar note a mystery for many conspiracy theorists. A small edition of these was printed with three screens – in ochre with a gold note, in copper and a glazing grey on cream white cardboard. The metalliferous colors reflect the light always differently from different viewing angles. The last posters can be bought here in the shop. In March, I will take a close look at the back of dollar notes again: The Douze Studio will take part in the Flatstock at theSXSW-Festival in Austin. From April on, there will be lots of new surprises here…
