THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA

Fountainhead Shitter by Milo Butt, 2020
Ceramic and plastic ‘readymade’
43 x 55 x 38 cm

L-13 PROUDLY PRESENTS the one and only, truly original, toilet pan from the L-13 Light Industrial BOG that saw unflinching service from pre-L-13 history to 2020.

It was a component part of the iconic room that had been left undisturbed in its original dark, dank and disturbing state for years as a stark daily reminder of the grimness of life. The room was designated as a work of art in 2010 and awarded to installation artist Mike Nelson as “one of his”.

Since the Covid-19 Lockdown the room has been transformed and updated to fit our new reality of germaphobic cleanliness, caution and sterility.  The toilet has been replaced with a new slimline efficient machine that doesn’t leak, and all the surfaces in the room are now pristine white and wipeable. (see the before and after photos)

We now have the pleasure of re-designating the toilet pan as a new work of art and award it to Milo Butt as “one of his”. Milo was the first Neo-Dadaist to create a painting on the L-13 Finger of God Painting Machine and has since then been on gardening leave. He is honoured to be called back into service in these times of crisis.

COVID-19 MITIGATION STRATEGY contd.
Thanks to all those who have continued to purchase essential art from us.
We have overcome most obstacles in our production process and all orders  to date – except those that need signing by Jamie Reid and The Beast – will be shipped next week. Prints that still need to be signed will hopefully follow the week after.

Thanks for your continued patience, and remember:
DON’T PANIC!!
