A Cock or Two: They Continue to Preen

We are one of the featured artist in the 2010 biennale of Sydney. These new limited edition prints of the artworks refer directly to artists, gallery owners and to the history of Cockatoo Island where the artworks are located.

This artwork ironically refers to the birds that originally inhabited the island and the insular, self-congratulatory nature of art exhibition openings.

A Cock or Two: No Danger of Attack

This artwork is located next to the sea and parodies a shark warning sign. It is a reference to the white, rich private gallery owners that feed off the artists works but rarely are prepared to take a creative risk themselves.

A Cock or Two: Fatigue, Cynicism, Existential Pointlessness

Referring in a pragmatic and satirical manner to the experience of walking around a huge exhibition. This artwork offers a positive reminder of why we are all prepared to put up with the experience.

A Cock or Two: A Prison, A Gallery

Cockatoo Island once was a prison similar to Alcatraz. This artwork wryly compares the 'confidence trick' used by criminals in the past to the ones used by the artists to appear in the exhibition.

A Cock or Two: A Pilgrimage

There was once a shipbuilding facililty on Cockatoo Island. This artwork paradoxically portrays the artists as 'empty vessels' - a person without a brain who speaks loudly without saying anything of any depth. Taken from the English idiom "The emptiest vessels make the loudest sound".

Pray

Originally produced at the time of the first gulf war, we wanted to comment on oil as the reason for military action. We used Saddam Hussein’s dubious justification – a war of christians against muslims. Therefore Jesus, rather than a halo of goodness, has a Shell oil logo halo. This limited edition print was commissioned by the Design Museum to coincide with the exhibition Friendly Fire. Dimensions: A1 (594 x 841mm)

You Can’t Bomb An Idea (Flyposter)

This specially commissioned poster was originally produced as a fly poster at the time of the second gulf war.

This limited edition print was commissioned by the Design Museum to coincide with the exhibition Friendly Fire. Dimensions: A1 (594 x 841mm)

America’s Own Weapons of Mass Destruction

Using a phrase that was ubiquitous at the time of the Iraqi invasion – the meaning of ‘weapons of mass destruction’ has been twisted to highlight the damaging effect that America's multinationals are having on the social cultural and political aspects of all societies. Each limited edition 646 x 920mm screenprint is hand printed on quality deckle edged art paper, individually signed by Jonathan and limited to one hundred only.

You Can’t Bomb An Idea

This print illustrates the pointlessness of trying to destroy any kind of ideology with bombs, be it capitalism or islamic fundamentalism. The print has no top or bottom – it can be endlessly turned to give equal prominence to either opposing ideology. Each limited edition 646 x 920mm screenprint is hand printed on quality deckle edged art paper, individually signed by Jonathan and limited to one hundred only.
