LOST IN THE WOODS

December at Material brings our winter show Lost In The Woods, an exhibition of work from a selection of artists including -amongst others- members of Le Gun and East London Printmakers.

The exhibition will run from 29th November through to 29th January 2010 and will also run in conjunction with our friends Deep Elem performing at The Globe on 10th December. Inspired by their song titled "Lost in the Woods" we will also have the original artwork from their album cover in the exhibition and their album is available to buy on vinyl from Material.

For more information, please contact us or check the website for updates.

TWO BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED NEW COOKERY BOOKS FROM PHAIDON NOW AVAILABLE AT MATERIAL.

NEW IN: SAGMEISTER MADE YOU LOOK

Just as film, art, music, and literature have the power to move people, Stefan Sagmeister's innovative work shows that graphic design, too, can cut to the emotional quick. His desire is to transform stale thinking, and Sagmeister: Made You Look does just that.

Compelling, honest, and intensely personal, Made You Look covers 20 years of Sagmeister's graphic design. With a text by design historian Peter Hall and annotated with Sagmeister's own writing, the book features images from the studio archive, as well as specific influences and reference points for his projects and ideas. Fully illustrated with a red PVC slipcase and silver-gilded pages, this monograph is a compilation of practically all the work Sagmeister and his studio ever designed up to 2001, even the bad stuff.

2000 LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME

Published to coincide with Neal Fox's exhibition at Gallery Daniel Blau in Munich this year, the new book 2000 Light Years From Home is 64 hardback pages of Fox's inkings, following his Grandad's ghost on a phantasmagorical bender through pop culture, plus writings by Richard Milward and Amah Rose McKnight Abrams.
Neal Fox is a London based artist/illustrator. Born in 1981, he studied at Camberwell Art College and the Royal College of Art. Since graduating with an MA in 2005 his commercial illustration clients have included the Guardian, the Independent, the Times, Random House and Pete Doherty's band Babyshambles.
The book is available to buy in store or via mail order from Material for £30 and is a wonderful read.

Just Arrived... NEW TSHIRTS BY AMMO

"Uno, Dos, Tres...Lucha!"

"Cassette & Pencil"

"Beards are Weird"

Dave Hughes of Ammo & Koodooo Magazines has just produced a new range of tees featuring 3 different designs. The T-shirts have been printed using water based, non-toxic ink. They've also been screen printed by hand in the UK. The T-shirts are 100% cotton and have a vintage wash effect and come with a relevant badge. They are £20 each and available to buy from Material but you have to be quick as there are limited numbers! Once they've gone there's no guarantee Ammo will re-print any of the designs so if you like a certain T-shirt get it quick as it may sell out.
