Studio G · Strand, Cape Town
Cast in bronze. Built in words.
Studio G is the publishing house of artist G, and the custodian of The 420 Code. The bronze and the books are made in the same room. One enquiry into the human experience, worked in different media.
The expressions
Six expressions. One life.

The editions
The printed record.
Every book is free to read online, and the text online keeps moving. The printed editions are the record as it stood on the day it was printed. Original copies, from the studio, signed. For the shelf, the gift, and the long night with a pencil.
The studio
One studio. Two practices.
Everything here is made in the same room. The sculptures and the books are entwined. The sculpture asks the question with the body. The writing asks it with the structure.
One record exists. Try to deny it. The denial is a record. Everything else is consequence, and it ends in one line.
Don’t be a cunt. Be kind.
