0742 has documented the techno-economic change in the omnipresent layers of
Sheffield's past all reformation leaves a ghost of yesterday he would tell
you. He takes images of the urban paranoia he simply explains as the
metropolis of Sheffield. With this he also take images of nature based in
inner-city landscapes and out the place bucolic landscapes along with empty
abandoned and non-abandoned buildings. 0742 has created an archive 0f 3000
plus images here pretentious artist dot com
He stopped work there in November 2004 (the dots are links) as he felt it
was becoming rather imposing. He positions this archive as a counterpoint of
tactical interventions by often-symbolic occupations of your MIND. His work
now continues at pretentious artist dot com Now working on another project
using a old vidio camera of which he plans to put onto a CD and give out for
FREE. Disposable propaganda for a Disposable Age. Meantime he has completed
work single35mm. We can only watch with interest at his next tactical
intervention. No doubt it will make you THINK and feel a little cold. But
then that's his aim.
At the age of 40. 0742 has been witness to grand projects of urban
regeneration and neglect. He was a part of the now demolished Kelvin, which
become Europe's biggest housing estate following the demolition of Hyde
Park. He lived there as a child. Played and sniffed glue in the former
Infirmary Hospital. Where as 13 year old he walked and part dragged a
relative from Harcourt Road off their head due to a smack overdose. Before
he got to the hospital, he watched her die. He was also a part of the under
culture of Hyde Park. It was at the age 0f 20 scoreing smack from this vast
estate. He watched parts demolished other refurbished in 1992 following the
world Students Games.
This also transformed his birthplace of Attercliffe Common. He has watched
Sheffield become what it has become today. There is a real ease in his work.
He published propaganda for over 9 years with a friend. Which has leaded him
into the world of Digital images. Hand coded Html and in the recent past, he
has introduced himself to CSS. He will no doubt will be placing these skills
into Edition 2 of his http project pretentious artist dot com
We can no doubt expect 0742 or his other ego of Freak Peace to create more
stunning images both still and animated. There is little doubt he has found
a path of self-expression via his work. The future might be a little unknown
and un-expected. Likewise, the work of 0742 aka freak peace is just the
same. We guess he plays upon this fact. You can e-mail him at
worldwarfreeatriseupdot Finally there is someone documenting the ever
changing moods of Sheffield. Of all we can do is say Thank You and hope the
work of 0742 or is that 19896 goes on.
