Mechanical Ballet – Fernand Leger (1924)

March 10th, 2010

Mechanical Ballet by Fernand Leger (1924). Amazing to think all these edits are done by hand with the print and a splicer – no Premiere or After Effects here…

COUNTER-OBJECTS

We’re very pleased to now have a few prints for sale at the excellent Counter-Objects.co.uk. The shop is from the same people behind the (equally excellent) book store Counter-Print.co.uk, which is well worth a visit if you’re after rare or vintage art and design books.

I received my copy of the rather tasty Folkways earlier this week. Beautifully designed by Spin (of course), published by Unit Editions, and a bargain at £7.50. Lovely. Highly recommended.

The beautiful work of Len Lye.

UPDATE: As you will see from the comments – Roger Horrocks has written what looks to be a great book on Len Lye (which also includes a DVD of some of the films). Available to buy in the UK from Amazon, and there are some further links for international orders in the comments.

We have a few spreads in Flashback, the new book from Vict:onary documenting the wealth of designers partaking in this new-fangled Retro design malarkey. Due to the amount of content in these books the results are often mixed, but overall, this one’s a nice addition to the book shelf and probably worth seeking out if you’re into this kind of stuff I think.

Sixpack France have just released a very limited number of our Lucifer jackets into their webstore. Following on from our Lucifer T’shirt, the design is a homage to the satin jacket featured on the hero of Kenneth Anger’s 1972 film Lucifer Rising, and features a fully embroidered back panel! Nice cheerful jacket for Spring.
