About The Work
This edition is a part of a publishing project by Rob Tufnell where artists created new works on the perforated paper commonly used for the distribution of LSD. Typically labeled with elaborate designs, this “blotter” paper provides a medium that at once looks back to the shamanic, drug-induced rituals of prehistory and to the signatory grid of Modernism. Here, David Shrigley–known for mordantly humorous cartoons accompanied by handwritten comments on life’s absurdities–fails to reach excellence even while writing the phrase “Strive for Excellence,” the final word awkwardly divided over two lines.
