👍🏻👍🏻 #NSThumbsUp / @nsthumbsup for the @joebradley_fc exhibition, 'Day World' @gagosian - closes 15th December Joe Bradley has produced a visual language that oscillates freely between personal and art historical references. Constantly reinventing himself, he cycles through some of the most iconic modes of abstraction, investigating Minimalist questions of colour and form, tapping into the spontaneous gesture of Abstract Expressionism, and creating cryptic signs and symbols in ingenious, lively paintings. #joebradley#gagosian#dayworld#contemporaryart#conceptualart#contemporarypainting#abstract##abstractexpressionism#londonart#thumbsup#friezeweek#dayworld (at Gagosian) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bon634HhdmN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=38zoibpoowb8

Tim White - Dayworld, 1986.

[book-cover]

AUTHOR: Philip José Farmer TITLE: Dayworld ISBN: 0-246-12693-0 PUBLISHER: Granada

Centuries from now, humanity has come up with a strikingly simple answer to overpopulation: a person is given one day a week to live, work, play - and love. For the other six days they are 'stoned', placed in suspended animation until their day rolls round again. In effect, their body lives for seven times a lifetime in a world that has seven different realities.  All seven are worlds of plenty and peace - yet even in Paradise the dark side of human existence is not far below the surface.  There is still passion, ambition and crime, including the major new crime of the 35th century 'daybreaking'.  Because they possess a substance that prolongs life seven times the normal span, a few men and women are able to 'break day', or live seven different lives, one on each day of the week.

Jeff Caird is typical of these near-immortal daybreakers.  Among his lives: on Tuesday his legal personality is a police lieutenant, on Thursday he is a fencing instructor in a group marriage, on Friday he is a writer and on Sunday he is Father Tom, a celibate priest in a wacky, cosmic religion that practises marathon sessions of therapeutic 'confession'.  But Caird realizes that life in these best of all possible worlds is not all it's made out to be.  When he discovers that the authorities are on to him and that his fellow daybreakers are more than willing to kill him if he endangers their secret, a bizarre chase ensures, treating the reader to visions of an astonishing variety of life-styles in a Manhattan far different from today's.  As Jeff is pursued, one identity dissolves into another, and as he juggles his seven roles, he finds they are juggling him ...

Tim White's breathtaking artwork for the 1984 reissue of Dayworld by Philip José Farmer. Reminds me of the album cover of Lost Horizons by Lemonjelly.
