description

Eight cards / postcards plus an introduction and title card from Johnny Spencer's information panels series housed in a printed envelope, published in conjunction with Anthony Wilkinson Gallery, London. "Johnny Spencer's Information panels mimic the delivery of 'fact' as presented in a museum or gallery while gently mocking their faceless voice of authority. In these panels Spencer explores random subjects to do with our culture and history (such as; 'The History of Men's Underpants,' 'TV Detectives' and 'Birth and Death'). Considered, pared down and assembled as knowledge they present a idiolectual, unique and often amusing view of a fast disappearing 20th Century. The eight cards enclosed are a selection from a long list of subjects begun in 1995. The cards are reduced in size from the original but true in all visual details including the laminate." -- from the introduction. Includes exhibition history.
