ALFRED, BRIAN.: Brian Alfred. Millions Now Living Will Never Die!!!
Haunch of Venison, 2008. 2 Vols. 336pp + 48pp with 350 colour ills. Brian Alfred’s ambitious new project Millions Now Living Will Never Die!!! maps the many and diverse creative influences that have acted upon the artist in the form of 333 portraits of musicians, artists, actors, writers and politicians, a series of animated portraits and a ‘mash up’ soundtrack. The project proposes that personal creativity can be understood as a potentially open and affective process, as the chain of influence extends from artist to artist, from generation to generation. Many of the subjects of Alfred’s portraits are famous figures who have profoundly affected contemporary culture – as well as Alfred’s own practice – including Pop artists Andy Warhol and James Rosenquist, and musicians Miles Davis and Bob Marley. Equally, a number of the portraits represent members of the experimental art and music scenes, such as Squarepusher or Kid 606, figures known only to a select audience. This book, reproducing all 333 portraits in full, thus provides a map or index of Alfred’s creative development. Brian Alfred, Millions Now Living Will Never Die!!!, Haunch of Venison, Berlin, 12 January – 22 March 2008. Wrappers.
