Brick Lane Exhibit Info and Statement (G8 Mate!).
Adam Morrigan: An explanation of my work.
My work contains naturally processed forms following the simple premise of working with respect. The processes I use are not entered into lightly and all the materials I use are a product of human consumption and demand (obviously).
In response to peoples shock reaction to my use of animals I feel obliged to offer this explanation.
“All synthetic and processed materials have a relative cost (Including Human) and we as adults can if we choose make conscious decisions regarding the materials we use.
Often decisions are made without full understanding and therefore, due to this fundamental flaw, without consent.”
Porn Economics is a study of what and who is for sale, attempting to demonstrate the duality of dynamic by exploring the relationship of the Bunny and the Knife.
It also has a price tag of £8,000,000.00 which may seem a lot but “Money is only a concept, choice is real.”
Road Kill Janus and the Duality of Haute Couture is irony in the extreme.
Road Kill Janus Welcomes you to the shadow of Haute Couture, fur and all.

Road Kill Magna Carta: A work in progress...
It seems that our right, of trial by our our peers,
Is undermined by bereft, and sanguine-us ears.
Well remember the truth, we are what we eat,
And Road Kill like us, can choose to be fleet,
When we choose, to choose, and say what we want,
We wont say it with guile, it is honest, upfront.
Like a Red square Glaswegian, of human right lore
We'll stand and we'll fight, till deaths at the door.
Wat Tyler, and Diggers and Miners and Poets,
The right to live justly, is outstandingly,
Pro-gist.
So remember, remember, the truth at your feet,
Politician's mix words, with deadly deceit.
And know in your fears, we cannot live justly
In a land without Cause, or Council or,
Justice.

Avec le trou,
Who said art and the zeitgeist couldn't be fun. I had a very intimate experience working with this piece from start to finish, so to speak. I love what I do but understand why some would choose to give the power of making away. From Road Kill Art and "Road Kill The Last Supper" to "Ignorance is Bliss and "Avec le Trou" and "Holy Cow" amongst others. With my talented obsessive compulsive artistic friends the N:A ART Collective is doing it for themselves.

This could be a good thing! Cheers Earnest.. N:A ART is Born
Art and a meeting of Mind vs Minds
If you thought Art had finally lost itself to the prescribed media of “Box, Tick, Funding.” well think again. Like the legend of the Concrete Poets of the 1960’s, Stroud now boasts a rising force, freeing itself from the formaldehyde arts factories of the Damien Hirst empire. Like Poet and Artist John Furnival of the afore-mentioned Concrete Poets, its a “Frog, Pond,Plop” of independent continuity, standing in stark contrast, to the current curricular idiom of compliance.
Who or what is this new found joy? It’s The NA ART Collective.
After meeting with their members, before the opening of their Premier Exhibition “A Slice of Me at The Boys Club” being held in conjunction with and part of the Stroud Valley Arts Site 08 event. I was given the opportunity to engage with their hidden artistic experiences and have been fortunate enough to see, at first hand, aspects of their exploration.
To be honest I found it a welcome relief to the normally dull trudging, of ego wading, I’m normally faced with.
My lasting impression:- NA ART are self reliant, non compliant, artists fighting for freedom of expression and creativity, against the backdrop of unprecedented conservatism in the arts. A Conservatism which has plagued the past decade with mediocrity, an effect of the prescribed modernity placed upon it, in the never ending fight for funding.
When asked questions relating to their media, and being served questions over what they aim to achieve. I am faced with the phrase “it’s easier not to, so why not”. It’s a common saying in our initial conversations. But I am welcomed wholeheartedly into their world and in spending time with them, I have been privileged to learn more of their diverse relationship with
each other and their media.
Paul Grellier engages with a didactic display of dualism in his structural forms. Unleashing, uncompromising conversations with gravity and flow in the condition of hindsight and foresight.
Imogen Harvey-Lewis and her illustrative conversations with subconscious communication and desire. Interweaving the fine line of balance, nuance and intrigue.
Rayner Grant, exposing his love of Leonardo Da Vinci, combining the inclusive left brain, right brain approach to thinking, communication and spontaneous creativity. Reaching into the sub consciousness of childhood’s juxtaposition with form and reality.
Gavin Palmer, who’s stark graphic images somehow capture and contain immense hidden warmth, often lost in the development of the digital media.
Micha Leese, exploring with eclectic, quirky and playful, illustrative designs. Toys with the imagination and allows the journey of a story to unfold through illustrative expressionism.
Adam Morrigan, who’s Socio-Environmental and Political art using Road Kill and other things, picking at the conscience of polite artistic society, with uncompromising and somehow, stunningly beautiful creations.
He says “apparently its all in the mix as if a Phoenix of deliberation has risen from the Ashes of the 21st century and the Saatchi fire, and about time, I was getting a bit bored”
In my last meeting with the NAART they laugh and and discuss the prophetic vision of Douglas Adams with his ultimate book Last Chance to See, co-written with Mark Carwardine warning of the extinction of the Yellow River Dolphin (too late) wild artists could be a thing of the past.

Tate Modern et al and the unsolicited art of the contemporary
Having just enjoyed wonderful public attention both nationally and internationally (check press for details) with my opening exhibition of Road Kill The Last Supper at Centerspace Bristol. I thought, buoyed as I am and truly believing in my work (as do quite a lot of others). Work which is created from my own sweat and tears with no other, added or hidden labour involved. The type of labour say, taking form in an art factory (the succubi of the art world), or associated by-product of such an institution. I prepared myself to ask how I might get a proposal into the Tate Modern ( et al ) constabulary in the proper manner.
So, set and jellied for the purpose, off I went with gusto, and after streaming the telephone number to Tate Modern enquiries with a bit of research on the web, I called and had the pleasure of a very brief but bright conversation with a young man. During the duration of the call, which was about 30 seconds, I was told "You need an agent."
Hmm I thought that's a bit odd, and obviously my miss-understanding of the art process complete. In my naivety I thought contemporary art had to be inspired, accomplished and capturing the zeitgeist of the moment, for the inspiration and imagination of future generations. Well it seems I think that I was wrong apparently I need an agent. 007 maybe he's licensed to Kill. Oh dear, just another Road Kill Moment!
