Pirate Utopias
Yesterday we built up some of the boxes for the show, amazing, sun was out, bro’s were chilling…awesome.

Also meant to post this ages ago; i think it’s the opener for the catalogue:
Brothels and colonies are two extreme types of heterotopia, and if we think, after all, that the boat is a floating piece of space, a place without a place, that exists by itself, that is closed in on itself and at the same time is given over to the infinity of the sea and that, from port to port, from tack to tack, from brothel to brothel, it goes as far as the colonies in search of the most precious treasures they conceal in their gardens, you will understand why the boat has not only been for our civilization, from the sixteenth century until the present, the great instrument of economic development… but has been simultaneously the greatest reserve of the imagination.
The ship is the heterotopia par excellence. In civilizations without boats, dreams dry up, espionage takes the place of adventure, and police take the place of pirates.
Michel Foucault.
People should get stoked on this quote…
Also have been working on the website which will sit alongside the catalogue up in here:
