Yay!–I can finally show you some more pictures of the new Fictionist CD, which came out on Tuesday (at iTunes and amazon and everywhere else, grab one). I just got my own copy in the mail, so I gave a try at taking some ‘product shots’. Graphic design is by Rob Carmichael and the photo of the band is by Rick Egan.
This is definitely the most involved project I’ve ever been a part of, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results.
John Hughes RIP

Over the last several months I’ve been working with the (lovely and talented) band Fictionist to create artwork for their forthcoming album, Lasting Echo. They unveiled the cover yesterday and the CD release show is on January 29th. When images of the inside are available, I’ll put them up. It was a really fun project and I’m honored to have worked with the band, as well as Rob Carmichael who did the fantastic graphic design. More details soon!

I’m excited to announce my first international solo show. Lots of my collages are on display at Preteen gallery in Hermosillo, Mexico. All pictures are courtesy of the gallery. At the opening they celebrated Preteen’s first anniversary–and congratulations–they’ve had a year full of truly amazing exhibits. Visit Preteen to see more. Quoted from their site:
PRETEEN IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE PIE IN THE SKY YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL; A NEW SOLO SHOW BY NORTH CAROLINA-BASED ARTIST BRANDI STRICKLAND. STRICKLAND’S MINIMAL GRAPHIC ASSEMBLAGES RESEMBLE THOSE OF HANNAH HÖCH IN THAT THEY SERVE AS DOCUMENTS OF DAY TO DAY EPHEMERA AND THAT THEY PORE OVER FEMALE SUBJECTIVITY IN A SCANT AND DELICATE MANNER. ALSO, THEY SCRUTINIZE THE POWER STRUCTURES THAT SHAPE THE VISUAL OUTCOMES OF GEOGRAPHY, TOPOGRAPHY AND MATHEMATICS. THE HUMAN BODY AND NATURE ARE REPRESENTED IN AN OFTEN FRAGMENTED, NEBULOUS AND NOSTALGIC WAY. TEXT BECOMES A MERE ORNAMENTAL COMPONENT MORE THAN A LINGUISTIC OR POETIC SIGNIFIER. HER METHOD OF WORK ALLOWS HER COLLAGE PIECES TO DEVELOP INTO AN ODDLY APOLITICAL ACCOUNT OF QUOTIDIAN LIFE.
