London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

I have two prints for sale, they are large prints limited edition prints I had up in various exhibitions which have now ended and are the following specs:

2 x images printed using archive inks onto archive paper
professionally mounted on aluminum
Dimensions: 38 x 24 inches each so are fairly large and require being hung on batons (supplied with work)

These are the images:



The images are for sale separately at £175 each or as a pair for £300

They are editions of 1 and will not be printed at this size or mounted in this way again.

This is your chance to own the art work that nearly got me thrown out of Uni, caused me to have a prize awarded to me and then taken away and almost certainly was the catylist for me not being allowed to do a PGCE at a certain unnamed University.

If anyone is interested in buying them please pm me I will deliver within reason (London and south East England)

Thanks

Nick

If only I had some disposable income, those are very nice. Where are these taken?

wow - how did it do all that?

it planted crack on him then called the cops

The Uni were not too happy about the way I gained access to this location ie without permission. The location is a sewer known as Labyrinth which runs under London's very own Notting Hill

....and you told them beacuase?...

Very tempted. I really like your work. Have you done anything in se london? I also really liked the monkey head thing you did.

Really? Fuck sake, I went art school and as long as you didn't murder anyone they would applaud you for your efforts to make good art. Law abiding artists? Whats the point?

^ innit.

turns any decent criminal minded artiste into a masseuse ;p

You have to respect the purpose of art.

loving the avatar, Lemon

I did not tell them, I specifically made the point of not including this information in my work, however when it was awarded a prize someone questioned it, part of the prize was to have the work exhibited at the university and they would not allow me to have the prize due to the fact I did not have permission.

I have done the Clapham south Deep shelter, and the River Effra in Brixton as well as various smaller drains.

This was my argument, I am one of the first people to document the sewers and hidden spaces within the drains of the cities we live in, the only recorded well known photographer to do this was Nadar back in the 1860's. I argued this point to them and they basically said I should not be allowed to recieve my degree as I had breached various codes of ethics and rules stated by the University. I pointed out that no art has ever progressed without boundaries being pushed, they did not want to hear about it. Oh well the work ended up in various exhibitions outside of university, and I have moved on. I have an interesting reputation at the Uni now, and when receiving my degree from the Dean of the Uni was greeted with the words: "ahhh Drain boy" so I guess it kinda got me known.

it's political correctness gone mad, is what it is.

anyway, yes - there's no such thing as bad publicity. you should tell the story to some sympathetic paper or news programme, could be some more mileage in it.

oh sensible offers are welcome by the way

Very nice, shame i've not got the £.

Kinda living upto your name there ;)

beautiful work Guerilla.

no ££ :(

Thanks guys, if anyone knows anyone who might be interested I am basically trying to make my money back on what it cost to print them so I can buy Christmas Presents for the family.

Thanks for the kind comments

Nick

Now down to £150 each or £250 for the pair

sounds like you were sabotaged by Mr. 2nd Place

Jebus, that takes me back to my childhood seeing that shit everywhere when I spent my holidays in Poland.

I'm stupidly tempted by the left hand one, are they in Brighton or London? I'm in Brighton...

They are both in Brighton.

I would love to - I like them a lot but I don't have the money :(

Guerilla,

They are fantastic and should be applauded. The 'rules' the system had put before you, essentially discrediting your work due to misguided permission rights is disgusting. You scared them, which basically says you are doing the right thing.
Thank you for sharing them with us, Well done.

ver ynice but no funds. have you done the underground river in deptford? i bet there's some mental stuff down there

yes I have done them

Thanks I love my work to encourage discussion positive or negative its all good to me

Guerilla. you live down in Brighton? those are some smart looking photos. me and a friend had similar beef taking photos in the concrete place in Shoreham. you been there?

yeah been there years ago, and pop back whenever I can.

photos are on here: www.guerillaphotography.fotopic.net

Print on the left is now sold. Right one is still up for sale.

do you have any others hanging around you want to sell

Hey Nick, I've been waiting for six weeks for you to bring the battens over so I can mount the print I bought off you to the wall.

What gives???
