Unauthorized Philip Jeck release
You may have seen a release by Philip Jeck on the Belgian label Sub Rosa [‘Host’, Sub Rosa # SR194]. This release has been withdrawn. It was not authorised by the artist.
New: TouchShop and Listening Eye
We have a new TouchShop, which is credit card secure, and has been redesigned. Although you have to go through the usual login procedure the first time, we hope you find it has been “sexed up” a bit and is more serviceable. It is certainly far easier for me to update, so hopefully the information there will be more accurate and more up-to-date than before. But of course any suggestions are gratefully received.
This new site has been designed by Philip Marshall, who has also designed the David Sylvian site.
Listening Eye offers 26 signed and numbered iris prints of photography by Jon Wozencroft. Many have been used for Touch artwork over the years; here they come as A3 size (420 x 297mm, inc. border), uncropped, on matt paper.
The pictures are dispatched by “signed for” special delivery in a poster tube.
They are signed and numbered by the artist in sequence, and cost ｣199 each including worldwide delivery.
The 26 selections are intended as a counterpoint to their sound origins, and removed from that context, what they may have in common is the idea of an “uninhabited space” that stands quietly apart… evoking a sense of place that is progressive rather than a temporary stopover.
If there are any other Touch images you think we should add to the site, please do let us know…
Happy browsing
