Book
Films In America 1929 -1969 is a wry new book work by Lady Lucy based on a book she found in The Cube Cinema Green Room. A re-appropriation of the first four decades of sound film, 41 film portraits - one for each year - including The Lady Vanishes, Little Women, The Philadelphia Story, Rear Window. The pictures don't explicitly spell out which film each drawing represents, leaving the readers playing a guessing game. Collaborating with Cube designer Richard Starzecki and Old School Cube film programmer Ben Slater who has written a mesmerising piece of text to go in the ltd edition book.

Originally a Cube exhibition, this is the first series of new Perplexed commissions. Perplexed is the Cube Cinema's publishing Imprint, established to release a series of open themed projects and to involve and inspire involvement among artists, photographers, designers, performers, and the never ending array of creative people associated with our place.
