Emerging Artist for Punk and Nightclub Inspired Interior Commission
Acid House Designs
I am looking for an emerging artist, illustrator, street artist or graffiti artist to help create artwork for the toilet and utility room serving my new Acid House Designs studio in Edinburgh. The studio is being built within part of my home, but it will be a working interior design studio and a showcase for the Acid House Designs approach. The builders are currently on site, and the room should be ready for the artwork in around three weeks. I want the entire studio and adjoining toilet/utility to become a genuine portfolio showpiece that immediately demonstrates how different Acid House Designs is from a conventional interior design practice. Although this is a small room, it is an important part of the overall project rather than an overlooked functional space. The design is inspired by punk venues, nightclub toilets and spaces covered in accumulated graffiti. I am not looking for a single polished mural. The idea is to create a layered mixture of loose lettering, tags, doodles, symbols, stickers, handwritten comments and deliberately rough mark making across tiled and painted surfaces. The attached reference image show the general atmosphere, but the finished artwork should be original rather than copied from them. It would only let me attach 1 image here, but I can provide more examples on request. The wording will be an important part of the project. Some messages should subvert the hostile, crude or miserable graffiti often found in public toilets, using unexpectedly kind phrases such as “You look lovely today.” However, the tone must remain funny, scruffy and irreverent. It must not drift into sentimental motivational slogans or anything resembling “Live Laugh Love” wall art. I would also like to include strange, deadpan non sequiturs and oddly specific observations. A favourite example is the mysterious phrase “Toy Story 2 was ok”, which appeared in numerous Bristol toilets and venues around fifteen years ago. That unexplained, understated absurdity is exactly the sort of humour I enjoy. Ideas that go beyond this initial brief are very welcome. I would be particularly interested in finding a creative way to incorporate the ceiling into the artwork. This is a genuine paid commission, although the available budget is modest. Materials will also be covered. The selected artist will receive full credit and can use images of the completed room for their portfolio. If the collaboration and finished work are a strong fit, the artist may also be featured in the planned Friends of Acid House Designs section of my website, which will highlight people and organisations I have particularly enjoyed working with. I would also be keen to explore future paid collaborations with the right person as Acid House Designs becomes established, although neither of these possibilities is intended as a substitute for payment for this commission. I am particularly interested in hearing from students, recent graduates and emerging artists based in or around Edinburgh. The precise scope, materials, schedule and creative approach can be agreed together. Please apply by directly by email to heydude@acidhousedesigns.com. Include a brief introduction, links to examples of your work, your location or ability to travel to Edinburgh, your availability and an indication of your proposed fee. Many thanks, Harry Matuszewicz Milne Acid House Designs acidhousedesigns.com
