About The Work
This edition is a part of a publishing project by Rob Tufnell where artists created new works on the perforated paper commonly used for the distribution of LSD. Typically labeled with elaborate designs, this “blotter” paper provides a medium that at once looks back to the shamanic, drug-induced rituals of prehistory and to the signatory grid of Modernism. Here, Liam Gillick–a conceptual artist who examines how the built world carries traces of social, political, and economic systems–makes a pun on the acronym LSD by spelling out the Latin words for the UK’s pre-decimal currencies, “pounds, shillings, pence.”
