S.F.Skancke artworks and video//sound

Some here might be interested in this. This is a book of b/w drawings. 68 pages, a small edition with hardcover and a print and a bigger run of softcover. The title of the book is representative for the contents. Also, this is the start of a new publishing house, The Hydra's Den. It is connected to Neon Black Publishing and Dead Seed Productions (record label). This is a one off book, but the next releases is a series of four books that is somewhere inbetween abstract comicbook//graphic novel and artbook. No words, just drawings. Next book is already in print, and the third is in final stages of digital correction before printer.

A bit on the side of original topic, but this may be of interest to some-video documentation of a recent installation. Wallpainting etc. in a huge old factory.

Another exhibition. 13 paintings in a bunker, illegal show for three hours. Videolink for "proper" documentation below, sound is ok. Installation is with direct sound from the tapespeaker in the video. Most rugged gallery in Oslo. Tape edition coming later.

Pic from recent exhibition in Oslo suburb Lillestrøm. Wall is ca. 600 x 300 cm. A sinister soundpiece by the kingpin of the real northern underground, Tor N, was also present at this exhibition.

These turned out a bit huge, but fuck it, it is a huge wall. Ca 15 x 4 meters.

Thanks. If anyone is interested, there is a new artbook/comic out now. First in a series, two more will come during the winter. The text by the publisher explains more.



"The books themselves can be seen as experimental and futuristic grimoires, and as a rite of passage into a new world, drawing heavily from minimalistic architecture and sigilization, hard science fiction movies and graphic novels without excluding cyberpunk themes, with the likes of Shin'ya Tsukamoto, Alan Moore, Jodorowsky and Enki Bilal. Refraining from the use of text, this series offer multiple thematic layers and various interpretations . With a storyline that begins with a clear narrative and swiftly leads the reader into abstraction, "Remnants of a Broken Dawn" can be seen as a successful ritual in removing reality, or creating another before warping into another, and another...!

I post most of these images without too much words, just as i lurk around the forum from time to time and find information from people more educated than me in a lot of topics, that again leads me to order records and books. I write very bad, so here it goes.
