'Department of Reclusive Paranoia' - A Report

Stanley Donwood & Dr. Tchock's exhibition at the Rotterdam Art Gallery V!P's, entitled 'Department of Reclusive Paranoia', opened on Friday May 11th and runs until June 17th.

On Thursday May 10th, Stanley put his final touches on the
exhibition. Before the doors opened at 19:00 hrs to press and guests,
Stanley sat on top a ladder and hand wrote a text, translated into
Dutch for him, on a large sheet of paper. Later in the evening, he
finished the Dutch inscription ending it with the only non-Dutch word:
'I N H A L E R S'.

The exhibition features Stanley Donwood's artwork from the OK
Computer era through his more recent London Views, which was used for
Thom Yorke's The Eraser, as well as the original large format Kid A
paintings of mountainous landscapes. Inspired by a Guardian UK
front-page photograph of the Kosovo war, Donwood was upset in a way war
had never upset him before.

Exclusive
to 'Department of Reclusive Paranoia' at the V!P's Gallery are numbered
and signed exhibition books (limited to 500 copies), 250 (numbered and
signed) poster prints and 50 men and women's lingerie sets in a very
nice box.
