MORE DARK THAN SHARK - FEATURE
BRIAN ENO & BETTE ADRIAANSE: WHAT ART DOES - AN UNFINISHED THEORY
Drawing on his experience as an artist, Brian Eno is releasing his book on art, made in collaboration with Bette A. What Art Does examines the function of fictional worlds - such as pop songs, detective novels, soap operas, shoe tassels and the hidden language of haircuts - and suggests a new theory of art.
What Art Does is a full colour illustrated hardback book, initially available in a limited edition of 777 signed copies. Each copy comes with its own unique slipcase hand painted by Eno and Bette A. This limited edition (now sold out) is available exclusively from Metalabel for North American collectors, and Enoshop for collectors in the rest of the world. A black and white PDF will also be available for seven days from initial release for £1.
Hardback and ebook editions will be available on general release from Faber on January 16, 2025.
All profits from the limited edition and PDF go to Earth Percent and The Heroines! Movement.
Earth Percent is a charity that channels funds from the music business to organizations that do the most impactful work around the climate emergency, from GreenWave, involved in the farming of eco-friendly regenerative ocean crops, to Client Earth, who take legal action against the biggest polluters. Earth Percent was co-founded by Brian Eno.
The Heroines! Movement is a worldwide non-profit collective of grassroots teams making story projects and school programs around local women role models, encouraging all children to dream big and to chase those dreams. The Heroines! Movement was co-founded by Bette A.
