'good artists borrow, great artists steal' - St Marylebone School

Graham Dolphin Graham Dolphin's work appropriates objects
and icons of the fashion and music industries,
reforming them into assemblages that reveal
the obsessions and formulas underwriting the
temporal world of mass culture.
Text works include: every lyric from the Beatles
back catalogue hand written over the iconic
cover of the White Album. In another text
work, Dolphin takes every word from a single
issue of Vogue and scripts them onto a single
page, which has the same dimensions of the
magazine. Film works include: gathering 1,500
images of Kate Moss merged into 60 seconds
and footage of 100 Fashion Shows shown in a
mere 100 seconds.
These compulsive actions transform and
disrupt the surface aspirations of popular
culture and the glamour industry.
