This is Then Launch w/ Attrition + DJ Mark Cook

For a week in September 2020, Mark Osborne will be showing a set of large scale prints – the first time any of his work has been exhibited.

this is then – a visual record of the Coventry Music Scene 1979-81, runs for a week – from Friday 3rd April to Friday 10th. Work will be displayed in both the venue and in the community space and it will usually be open 11am to 5pm, and its supported by gigs, performances and workshops, that take a journey from this is then, to this is now.

Without Martin Bowes Alternative Sounds fanzine its unlikley Mark would of taken any of these shots. He’s also been fronting Attrition since then – still standing & just back from a tour of Japan – so its great to have him onboard with Attritions first gig in Cov for five years.

Marks Mark E. Smith Fall events got Mark into experimenting with his images – projecting them at the old CET print room & at The Tin which was then the inspiration for doing a show there.
