'Where's the Party' Four-Colour Screenprint

£195.00

This four-colour edition is screen printed on heavy-grain A2 paper and individualised with unique details in spray paint.

Each print starts with the iconic acid yellow of the universally recognisable smiley face, sprayed by hand before the screenprinting process begins. Rich reds and metallic blues pick up on the chromatic welded metal form of the artwork, while black and fine greys firmly anchor ‘Where’s the Party’ to the page.

This artwork has been handcrafted by the artists in London. From building the printing press to finishing every piece with original details showing the artist’s hand, each piece is part of a limited collectable edition and unique in its own right. Each piece is signed and numbered by the artists.

Collection Details

This Limited-Edition Print collection and its relation to the original sculpture consider the visual ephemera of rave, art, and free party scenes. Flyers, posters, and wristbands often remained the only documentation of the music and togetherness that occurred, and the designs and aesthetics featured on these, over time, become icons and symbols of this subculture.

As the sculpture physically moved from clubs to artist studios, creative communal living spaces to festivals for different installations, it has become a harbinger of a spirit of dance music, community, and creativity. Its placemaking and presence signify the establishment of a space with the sounds and people it brings with each new installation.

Through the intricate process of screenprinting, the metal form undergoes a transformation, taking on an iconographic nature. This ritualistic metamorphosis from steel to paper imbues the prints with a tangible essence of a sonic and spiritual experience. The form and colours of the metal droid, now reproduced, become recognizable to those seeking similar music and connection frequencies.

Project details

Sidney Seymour and Alex Wreckage, sculptors, renegades, and general artistic maniacs, first created ‘Where’s The Party’ from a 66 Austin FX4 Black Cab and a Royal Enfield Motorcycle frame.

This twisted, amorphous metal drone, a homage to the pursuit of pleasure, tunes, and freedom, was first shown at the London Acid City exhibition at FOLD London. The show celebrated music history, rave culture, and the STAY UP FOREVER record label.

From there, it crashed the party at Glastonbury Festival 2023 & 2024, installed at Glastonbury on Sea, looming over the festival and revelling in the smoke, shenanigans, and sonic solidarity of the community and the incredible artists that create the Pier each year. Glastonbury on Sea rose from the fumes of Joe Rush and Alex Wreckage’s, of the Mutoid Waste Company, creative alchemy. The chaos is controlled by the talented madman Liam Hayhow, and it is fueled by artists from across the globe who convene annually to make the experience possible.
