PRESS RELEASE 12/9/03

ATTENTION: ART, GRAPHIC DESIGN, BOOKS

Perplexed/ Perplexed No.1

Perplexed is the Cube Cinema's publishing Imprint, established to release a
series of open themed projects and to involve and inspire involvement among
artists, photographers, designers, performers, and the never ending array
of creative people associated with the Cube Cinema, Bristol, UK.

The aim is to keep the direction as open as possible, and eventually to
include a catalogue of not only tangible products, but events and more. It
is also intended to inspire collaborations by providing an output for the
over-flowing pools of creativity that the Cube attracts.

Perplexed no 1 is a perfect example of such a collaborative effort:
A postcard set of Adam Faraday's photography [adamfaraday.com], produced as
limited edition sets [100 copies]. As well as being a joint effort between
Adam and the prolific and multi-talented graphic designer Motorboy, it also
proudly features the artistic input of Cube curator Lady Lucy, in the form
of an illustrated forward. Further releases in development include:

*A book of xerox artwork compiling works by a plethora of musicians,
performers and assorted Cube conspirators. Artists so far expressing
interest in contributing include: Tom Greenwood, Jeffrey Lewis, Kimya
Dawson, David Ivar Herman Dune and more.
*A cdr release compilation of cover versions and responses to the Crowded
House song “Don’t Dream It’s Over”.
[a response to the assignment based art project by artists Miranda July and
Harrell Fletcher, learningtoloveyoumore.com assignment #24]
*The history of The Cube programme design [in long-term development].
*A release celebrating the personal and album artwork of the many musicians
who pass through the Cube to perform.
*”Number Free” an audio release created entirely without monetary cost to
anyone involved and given away free. Currently scheduled as release number
three.

Previous releases

*The prototype release [number 0], for the Perplexed imprint was a limited
edition run of t-shirts and hoodies for The Cube Cinema, featuring the
illustrations of Lady Lucy [ladylucy.tk]. Released in the spring of 2003,
this release sold out within a matter of weeks.
