A spoken word CD containing some of the surreal, dream-like stories from John Foxx's on-going novel about London, The Quiet Man, will be released by Metamatic Records on Monday the 27th of July, 2009.

This coincides with a new exhibition, DNA , which features images and narratives from the book alongside work by visual artists, film-makers, illustrators, Manga artists, graphic designers and musicians who have been inspired by the character - and different aspects of Foxx's thirty-year career.

Contributors to the DNA exhibition so far include; Ian Emes, Macoto Tezka, Gary Numan, Jonathan Barnbrook, Karborn, Angelo Cerantola, Adrian Lee, Jeremy Scott, Antonino Cardillo, Craig Hewitt, Flemming Fynsk, Rob C, Andrew Back and Roger Spy. Doubtless more contributors will be announced in due course.

Fab!

Really looking forward to this exhibition

Great news! The Quiet Man gets its official release. Hopefully, the CD will be accompanied in the not too distant future by the book.

Who is doing the 'speaking'? John himself?

At last!

I hope John isn't doing the speaking though - perhaps it's Mark Fisher again?

The Quiet Man is an architectural photographer? It's like something out of a Ballard novel!

Hmmmmm, hang on a minute... wink

I'll second that! Interesting... cool

I was listening to Gary's "EKO" interview with Steve yesterday and he favourably refers to the "proper" incarnation of Ultravox with John as a source of inspiration for music and live shows, and he still does by the sound of it.
