Daditionary Series by Jason Filipow

Jason Filipow, whom we had previously interviewed here, recently releases a series of prints in which he calls the Dationary Series. Each print is a unique 1/1 edition inspired by re-appropriated Dada and Seditionary imagery and rhetoric. Jason goes on to explain that: “Each print is a challenging visual and conceptual balancing act between order and chaos; an ambiguous, but compelling, narrative without logic.”

The prints measure 18″ x 24″, are hand stamped on the back, and are priced at $25 apiece. They are available in Jason’s online shop. Jason also lended some interesting insight as to why he stamps his prints on the back as oppose to signing them at the forums over on TheGiant.org: “I don’t really ‘believe’ in the whole artist’s signature thing (or the ‘magic’ of the artist’s hand); it seems somehow a little presumptuous to me. I have always been uncomfortable with it, and I believe it can be downright distracting visually. I think it’s more interesting (or challenging) to authenticate/symbolically complete the work through some removed, distanced or disinterested fashion. I am sure there are collectors/etc, that won’t ‘invest’ in work that’s not actually signed (read autographed), or that a signature adds ‘value’….blah.”
