Good fun at the Secret 7″ private view last night at Now Gallery and great to see my vinyl sleeve alongside all the brilliant contributions while trying to guess the tracks and artists.
Secret 7” takes 7 tracks from 7 musicians and presses each one 100 times onto 7” vinyl. They then invite creatives from around the world to contribute artwork for the vinyl sleeves. The visual artist and track inside are a mystery until the record is sold. All money raised will support War Child’s work in conflict zones around the world. To see all 700 sleeves and to place your bid, go to @peggy or peggy.com/secret7
The tracks…
Aurora – A different Kind of Human
Celeste – Stop This Flame
The Chemical Brothers – Skipping Like a Stone
Hozier – Swan Upon Leda
Paul McCartney – Pipes of Peaces
Siouxsie and the Banshees – Lullaby
The Specials – We Sell Hope
Contributors include Anthony Burrill, Babak Ganjei, Bob and Roberta Smith, Gregor Hildebrandt, Jamie Hewlett, Jean Jullien, Kate Gibb, Morag Myerscough, Paul Smith, Rachel Whiteread, Rob Ryan, Stanley Donwood, Tacita Dean and many more.
The auction and exhibition closes on March 17th.
