Artefact

Poster
Joy Division
1980

This screenprint was created for the soul reason that I was into the band and at Art College at the time. I sent Factory several copies purely out of interest and received a copy of "Closer" in return. The other copies of the print were given away to friends. I've kept this one.

“it's good... very JD! did it count towards your course work or was it 'extracurricula'?”
“Thanks, Mat! Yes, it counted as part of the coursework. At that time, we were only doing 1 day-a-week on screenprinting, so the whole project was a bit sprawling, starting with planning, rough sketches, etc., through to making the separations that the screens were made from.
I still have the separated "film-positives", but the screens were destroyed after the run of 12.”
“Hello thebook, thank you for this fantastic poster. We are the only one Joy Division/cold wave/postpunk site in Poland. We would like to make a short interview with you. May I ask you to agree and send me your e-mail address? Regards,”
