He has created ceramics, furniture, toys, interior designs, and public sculptures that seem to at once reference and parody influences such as Bauhaus, Futurism, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco. Peter Shire is an LA-based artist whose work eludes all attempts at categorization. He has three D&AD Awards and won the London Design Medal in 2013. Saville’s first monograph was published by Frieze in 2003. His achievements were celebrated in “The Peter Saville Show” at the Design Museum in London (2003), and his first major show in a contemporary art museum was at the Migros Museum in Zurich (2005). Over the past decade he has served as the consultant creative director for the City of Manchester. His radical designs seemed to break all the rules, omitting information about artists or titles, fundamentally questioning modes of consumption and communication. As a founder and art director of the legendary independent UK label Factory Records, he accessed a mass audience through pop music, best exemplified in the series of record sleeves he created for Joy Division and New Order between 19. Peter Saville is an artist and designer who has made singular contributions to art and culture.

Andy McCluskey says “electronic music is our language…we took alternative music into the front rooms of every house in Britain.” During their career OMD have sold an astonishing 25 million singles and 15 million albums, all while remaining uncompromising and unwaveringly innovative. These electronic pioneers are equal parts conceptual art project as they are pop stars.

The group has appeared a staggering twenty-nine times on “Top of the Pops.” Most recently OMD performed in front of 35,000 people at the Rewind Festival, as well as a series of performances with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra in celebration of their 40th Anniversary. Their debut single, “Electricity” was released on Factory Records in 1979, and 1983’s “Dazzle Ships” is now regarded as an experimental classic. Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) was founded by teenage pals Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys, who have retained their friendship over an impressive career spanning four decades.

The exhibition raises awareness of this important style of painting and design while presenting new work created by contemporary artists Natalie Lanese, Carrie Schneider and Miho Shimizu informed by dazzle camouflage. From the release of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark’s 1983 concept album “Dazzle Ships” in collaboration with designer and Factory Records co-Founder Peter Saville to 1980s Italian design and architecture studio Memphis from wartime “Dazzle Balls” to Op Art and Pop Art from Pee-Wee’s Playhouse to contemporary artists working today across the globe dazzle camouflage has become one of the most highly-appropriated and widely-recognized design tropes. Invented by British artist Norman Wilkinson in 1917, dazzle camouflage has heavily influenced popular culture in recent decades. In celebration of the advent of dazzle camouflage during World War I, MOCA Tucson presents an expansive, museum-wide exhibition exploring the influence dazzle camouflage has had over designers, artists, and musicians of the past one hundred years.
