The forty-fifth project of fig-1, the year-long exhibition programme organised by Mark Francis in which each project occupied the same Soho address for a single week before giving way to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe occasion was the London presentation of \u003cem\u003eStill \/ Moving\u003c\/em\u003e, the collaborative film produced by Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe in the late 1970s. Made before Mapplethorpe’s mature photographic practice had fully emerged, the work records a shared period of production between the two artists. By 2000 it had already become an historical document as much as a moving image, returning to public view through a programme concerned with contemporary exhibition rather than retrospective display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brochure adopts the same economy as the programme it announces. A black cover reduced to names, title, and dates unfolds into a single film still accompanied by Smith’s text. Promotion and publication become difficult to separate. The exhibition continues briefly as printed matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced for five days of circulation, few examples appear to have been retained. Most fulfilled their administrative purpose before disappearing. Those that remain now function differently: not as announcements of a future event, but as surviving evidence of an exhibition, a collaboration, and a particular moment within London’s independent exhibition history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping and handling included in the listed price.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"fig-1","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53804418367826,"sku":"MAPPLETHORPE-FIG1-INV-2000","price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/Mapplethorpe_Robert._Smith_Patti._Show_invite_Still_moving_London_fig-1_gallery_Soho._2000_1c3fe0cc-61a3-4e28-b560-ee1a1ac82953.jpg?v=1781968242","url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/products\/patti-smith-robert-mapplethorpe-still-moving-fig-1-london-2000","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
