I have always been dreaming to be in an artistic collective. And this happened to me almost two years ago in London when we found The Minesweeper Collective, an international collective that lives in a boat close to the Deptford creek. Since I found it we have been doing many things together. The first time I had a collaboration with minesweeper it has been during an artistic residency on June 2015 with Passion&Pain a project by Wonderbee & Indignata Jones. In that occasion we united our nicknames in INDIGNADABEE and we built our project/label consisting in recycle clothes customized by our own drawings silkscreened patches. During the residency me and IndignadaJ. we painted the main stage and the main door. We created an installation made by recycle hearts and theet that we hung all around the boat and on 28th June we had the event. The second collaboration was on October with Fake&Real and in that occasion we created two big dolls and many paperboats that at the end of the event all together we left them float on the creek. The day after we have been creating an installation. We brought the dolls close to the Penny bridge and few days later someone burnt. A collective experiment. I like the idea to burn the art like a phoenix a new experience can born from the ashes.
On March 2016 with the collective we had an other collaboration and this time printing a book in the sunscreenlab settled in the boat. The book On the Hill of Pig Heart was a preview of some drawings that have been transferred on the wall during an event organised in Colleferro (Rome, Italy) where almost three years ago I opened a Tattoo studio INTOCORE TATTOO with other three persons.
The Minesweeper Collective is connected to the BirdNest a pub in Deptford where inside there The Undercurrent Gallery.
