Opening photos from Stanley Donwood’s “Over Normal at FIFTY24SF Gallery
September 3rd, 2010
We had a great night at Stanley Donwood’s “Over Normal” exhibition opening last night in San Francisco. Big crowd that patiently waited out front as we did some last minute cleaning, and a big crowd that stayed the whole night and flowed into Mad Dog later in the evening. Lots of pictures to follow. . . a lot more at FIFTy24SF as well.
Thank you to Stanley Donwood, John Matthias on the OverNormalizer sound installation, Lyndsay Geddes, Indigo, and Duckhorn for the wine.
People have to come to the gallery and check out this sound installation that Stanley and John created… amazing stuff.

Stanley Donwood Giclée and Screen Prints Now Available
September 2nd, 2010Correlating with the opening of Stanley Donwood’s first-ever U.S. show entitled “Over Normal”, FIFTY24SF Gallery is releasing a line of prints – four using giclée printing methods sized 30″ x 21″, and three screen prints on acid-free archival paper of varying sizes.
One of the larger themes of the exhibition is the use of words collected from spam emails juxtaposed with the seven primary colors that Stanley noticed being utilized in billboard advertising to draw in a person’s attention – the screen prints ‘FORGOT WAS SORRY‘ (25.5″ x 26″) and ‘DESIRE ENLARGMENT‘ (25.5″ x 29.5″) feature these primary colors and are limited to an edition of 40 each.
The other screen print and giclée prints relate to the sound installation that Stanley Donwood and physicist John Matthias have accomplished for the FIFTY24SF Gallery exhibition entitled “The Overnormalizer.” The installation mimics the result of a neuron firing in an artificial neural network using two sound sources: a voder speaking the words of Spam, and a single violin played by John Matthias – the result is a haunting, unsettling and somehow beautiful ever changing body of sound. The set of giclée prints are the actual data and raster plots that were used as the starting point for The Overnormalizer and are limited to an edition of 10 each. And the screen print ‘ ‘NEUROGRANULAR SAMPLE‘ (set of 40) superimposes multiple of these raster plot graphs using the primary seven-color palette that is used in the “Over Normal” exhibition showing at FIFTY24SF Gallery from September 2nd – October 27th.
All prints are available in our online store here.

If you are going to be headed to the Over Normal exhibit in San Francisco, starring Stanley Donwood and a sound installation by Donwood and John Matthias, then you are going to get the physical copy of the Over Normal Newspaper, a nice newsprint pamphlet made in conjunction with the FIFTY24SF show.
