Keep Warm This Winter - Make Trouble: Richard Cabut (3AM Magazine) interviews Jamie Reid, the self-styled "socialist druid" who turned the Sex Pistols into an artwork. Quote: "The work bubbles, its cells weaving freely in and out of each other like the organism they compose. The wry and decompressed attitude towards imagery and abstraction exhibits witty unpretentiousness taken to the point of revelation. It moves beyond the living margins, zooming right into a floating, shimmering, half-remembered dreamworld. A murmur trembling on verge of coherence. Perfect for those desperate for sensation in the monochromatic, decontextualised city. Here, everything smells sad and good like it does after a heavy rain. You can't put a price on this sort of stuff." Link
