Is Saitch Yer Daddy: Collages by Kosmo Vinyl
Next month sees the opening of an exhibition of 53 collages tracking the fortunes of West Ham United FC over a season; they are all the product of expat football fan and music industry maverick Kosmo Vinyl.
The show’s title, Is Saitch Yer Daddy, is taken from 60s graffito adorning a wall near West Ham’s home ground. Residency in New York for many years hasn’t dampened the ardour for The Hammers of this figure who played key promotional and managerial roles for Graham Parker, Stiff Records, Ian Dury and The Clash.
After each game of the 2011/12 season, he posted a collage using yet another pseudonym, Andy Pepper, as a way of commenting on each result, and it is these which form the exhibition, which runs from April 8-15 at Eb & Flow, 77 Leonard Street, London EC2A 4QS.
