We’ve mentioned a few of Mibo’s retro patterned products here before. The latest edition to their ever-growing list of Mibo products are these limited edition screen prints.

Designed by Madeleine Rogers, they are inspired by traditional Polish papercutting and the results are folk art pieces with a Seventies look to them. There is a choice of two designs; Welsh Rabbit or Chicken Stock. They are each limited to 100 editions, measure 30cm by 30cm and cost £19.50.

Visit the Mibo website to buy.

Prints are often a sound investment, especially when it’s the work of Sir Peter Blake – as is the case with the I Love You silkscreen print, available now from CCA Galleries.

Based on Blake’s pop art work from the early 60s, the print is bright and bold and limited to just 175 worldwide (the first 25 are already spoken for, but you can request any of the other numbers – stock permitting).

For authenticity, the 595 x 820mm print has CCA’s publisher stamp embossed in bottom right hand corner and a certificate of authenticity – but not the gallery’s website url as seen on the one here. Unframed, it will cost £795.

The ICA has been holding a series of talks looking the various curatorial approaches that have been taken in the institution’s history. The latest in the series is entitled "Higher State of Consciousness: The Psychedelic Event" and addresses the organisation’s reaction to the psychedelic scene. 

This will be with particular reference to the 1969 performance by Soft Machine and the ICA’s “Mid Summer High” event. The talk will address the question of whether the intellectual position of the curator was undermined by drugs and flashing lights or if it allowed artistic experience to be fully realised. Stirring intellectual stuff indeed!

If you fancy a stimulating evening of debate, it takes place on Tuesday 25 June at the ICA in London. Further details can be found on the ICA website.
