ART, WRITING, AUDIO AND MORE: STUPLEX 002 LAUNCHES IN LIVERPOOL
You hear it on the streets, in the bars, down the alleyways, from open windows:
“Stuplex is coming! Stuplex is coming!”
You cock your ear to the breeze and hope for a clue to help unlock the meaning of this curious phrase, but the breeze is keeping the secret to itself. Or so you think.
An empty cardboard box tumbles along the pavement and rolls to a stop just ahead of you. An empty cardboard box just waiting.
A box just waiting to be filled.
What is Stuplex?
- Stuplex is an evolving collaborative project created by writers, artists and musicians in Liverpool, UK. It originated as an idea in a pub and now exists as an artefact you can buy.
- Stuplex is art, essay, sound, verse, fiction and more; each item is handmade, curated with loving care, and beautifully packaged inside a collectible box.
- Stuplex is produced in themed editions, in a variety of formats, and published when it’s good and ready.
- The theme of Stuplex 001, published in May 2014, was Decay.
- The theme of Stuplex 002 is Decadence.
