BLOB is a book and exhibition project by Eddy Frankel. It's a vile, miserable little short story about a man whose bones disintegrate, published alongside newly commissioned artwork by Rachel Howard, Olivia Sterling, Mary Ramsden, Shadi Al-Atallah, Glen Pudvine, France-Lise McGurn, Emma Cousin, Gareth Cadwallader and Luke Burton.
Those paintings and drawings are the core of an accompanying exhibition at TJ Boulting.
Eddy, Time Out's art and culture editor, approached a bunch of artists he loves and asked them if they'd be up for making work in reaction to this story he'd written. Was he nervous about sending all these amazing painters what is essentially an incredibly depressing wank joke? Yes. But somehow, they all said yes, and produced stunning images to go along with the story.
BLOB is part fiction, part art catalogue, part curatorial project. It's about depression, ageing, anxiety, body dysmorphia and erections, but, you know, in a kinda funny way?
‘BLOB’ the book is launched on March 23 2022 published by Trolley.
‘BLOB’ the exhibition opens on March 23 2022 at TJ Boulting.
