8.0 Maple Wood Skateboard with screen print and 1 3/4 drilled hole.
Artist Nayland Blake has produced a new limited edition skateboard on the occasion of Printed Matter's participation in Frieze New York 2022. Boards For Glory is their tribute to skate culture and public sex. They write: "Skaters and Cruisers remap the public terrain to suit their purposes beyond the boundaries of the law. This is a platform and a peephole." Since the late 1980s, Nayland Blake's influential body of work has explored themes of play, eroticism, and the subjective experiences of desire, power, and loss. Inspired by feminist theory and queer subcultures, Blake addresses the contradictions of representation in sculptures, drawings, performances, and videos, particularly as it relates to their own identity as a nonbinary multiracial artist.
