TRANSMISSIONS: Duggie Fields

By Christabel Stewart, 16:29 Thu 23 Nov 2006

Following on nicely from Pablo Bronstein's celebration of the surface appeal of postmodern architecture comes a look at some recent films by "one of the earliest manifestations of Jencksian post-punk art in Britain, the adolescent historicist neo-kitsch of Duggie Fields."* In a presentation of his digital films during a performance night, "Live Humans" at The George Tavern -though not live themselves- the audacity and energy of Fields' hard-edge post-Pop figuration - the benchmark of his owrk for three and a half decades (see pictured invite card from 1971) - stood out as the liveliest contribution. Fields is currently in vogue at Commes des Garcons' London Dover Street Market where his imagery appears on badges and T-Shirts.
