LuckyPDF
LuckyPDF is an artist group based in South-East London, UK that has been running since 2008. LuckyPDF is made up of the artists James Early, John Hill, Ollie Hogan and Yuri Pattison primarily, with an extended network [1]. They create internet video programs typically showcasing other artists work[2]. Their website is similar in that their homepage also displays work by other up-and-coming artists. Most of the work they show is video art or performance art with many of the artists from London and of their generation.
One of their more well-known projects is the sale of their mailing list or 'luckypages,' which is a directory of all of their email and Facebook contacts still on sale for 249.99 GBP.[3]Though it was only sold to those already on the list, their aim being to cement those people together and highlight the group of people. Their personal aim was to shed themselves of 'who they knew' and to be judged on the quality of their content.[4]
In late 2010 they collaborated with Auto Italia South East[5] to realise the project From LuckyPDF TV: This is Auto Italia Live, consisting of five, one hour long TV episodes performed and broadcast live over the internet and to a studio audience.[6]
LuckyPDF have had residencies at SPACE Studios Peckham and the Woodmill[7], both in London, UK.
In 2011 they exhibited at the Internet Pavilion at the Venice Biennale[8] and were commissioned as part of Frieze Projects at the Frieze Art Fair 2011 alongside artists Bik Van der Pol, Pierre Huyghe, Christian Jankowski, Oliver Laric, Peles Empire, Laure Prouvost and Cara Tolmie.[9][10]
