‘Department of Reclusive Paranoia’ - A Report

Posted on May 13th, 2007.

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.May 11th - June 17th - Tuesday - Sunday (12:00 - 18:00 hrs)V!P’S International Art GalleriesWestelijk Handelsterrein, Van Vollenhovenstraat 15Rotterdam, The Netherlands010 2251120 - info@vipsart.nl, www.vipsart.nlAlso check: Department of Reclusive Paranoia @ SlowlyDownward.com
