The ingrates at OMSK have been kicking art tin cans around the block  
for twelve years now and have decided to put those dozen eggs in a  
basket, called OMSKBOOK. No nostalgia here though, NO, instead one  
hundred and fifty two pages of utterance and outburst from  
established and emerging artists who use film & video, live art,  
sound, text and other means.

The book includes work from 74 artists, critical essays and  
conversations on itinerant art practice, a CD of sound acts that have  
performed at OMSK and a DVD featuring a two hour programme of  
artists' moving image.

On June the 30th OMSK will be launching OMSKBOOK with an event at the  
South London Gallery. This free evening begins at 5:30pm with a  
Talkaoke round panel discussion involving artists, academics,  
critics, supporters and OMSK members. As the event progresses the  
discussion will move into the garden as the night fills the gallery  
space.

The launch will include many of OMSK's seminal acts from the last 12  
years: live art from The Max Factory (renowned for the bodily  
excesses of their performances), Robin Deacon (of 'Colin Powell is a  
nice man' fame), Woodrow Kernohan, Dot Howard, who accosted previous  
OMSK audiences with a fake pregnancy. Sound comes courtesy of  
Electric Assembly, the animated vocoder pop of Bristol based Super  
Group Extreme, and sticky vinyl from DJ OMSK and DJ MissInTheMix.  
Film & Video artists screening at the launch: a premiere from Andrew  
Kötting, plus Jennet Thomas, Annis Joslin, Blunt Productions, Steven  
Eastwood, Oriana Fox and more.

The extraordinary OMSKBOOK will be sold at the launch for £11.99.  
Come down, partake of colliding forms of contemporary art, say your  
piece, perhaps even dream up the durational performance or video you  
plan to show at the next OMSK, and grab a limited edition book,  
surely soon to be collectable. Oh yes.

OMSKBOOK is edited by Clare Moloney, designed by Anita Steinstad and  
funded by the Arts Council
