Shop is a weird and wonderful multi-disciplinary creative space which offers a complete creative service. We work in all areas of art and design including graphics, screen print, web, multi-media, film and fashion design. We also have an extensive track record of organising and hosting exciting events. Feel free to sign up to our mailing list below for updates:
This Saturday (14th August) we have our second screening of Trash Humpers. Before the main feature, we will be premiering a short film by DJ Rubbish and DJ Johnny Crump called The Order To Come. Here’s the blurb:
The audio design behind The Order To Come was to challenge the way we hear music and to brake some fundamental rules of music production. The goal was to create a piece of “Art” rather than a “Mix Tape”, and hopefully construct something that wouldn’t fit comfortably into any specific genre.
The music comprises chopped-down pieces of audio, put together to allow interest through its indifference, using ambitious samples, scornful styles and dejected lyrics.
Ultimately, this was to become a piece of video art.
The visuals use the original audio from The Order To Come as a creative starting point, following its tone and rhythm to create a visual collage that is both evocative and provocative and spans generations and continents. Viewers enter a sensory dream world where nothing is certain and the barely visible is free to create meaning of its own. The intensity of the music is compounded my the hypnotic repetitious imagery.
Years pass in seconds and memory turns to dust as Johnny Crump and DJ Rubbish present their vision of The Order To Come…
The screening last Saturday was great! Warp Films were very happy and even suggested we have another screening in two weeks time. We have happily obliged and can now proudly announce that we will be having a second screening on SATURDAY 14th AUGUST. As before, doors will open at 7:30pm for an 8:00pm start. Last Saturday we had to turn people away at the door so we recommend booking your tickets in advance by clicking here.
We are very saddened to hear that Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt plans to abolish the UK Film Council. However, it’s reassuring to see that 28,000+ Facebook members share our thoughts.
We are delighted to announce that Shop is responsible for the “official” campaign website opposing the decision. It’s easily the quickest turn-around on a website we’ve ever done! The result can be found at www.savethefilmcouncil.co.uk and goes hand in hand with the Facebook group started by Oliver Powell on Monday. So get yourself on the site and follow the simple steps to help save what’s become an integral part of British cinema.
Regenerate Clothing (who’s headquarters are currently based at Shop) will be exhibiting their new range next month at the Berlin Fashion Week. For more information please visit http://thekey.to/ . The above video was produced by Fourmost Films (who are also based at Shop).
Warp Films, the company that bought you This is England and Four Lions are taking over Shop for a night on the 31st July to screen their latest film Trash Humpers by Harmony Korine. The film will be screened across different rooms in Shop on various piles of old, rusty TV sets. White Lightning (or equivalent) and Tennents Super will be the special (classy) drinks for the evening.
Doors open at 7:30pm with the very generous entrance fee of £4 (free for Shop members). BOOK YOUR TICKETS HERE.
