Dust La Rock, the founding creative director of Fool’s Gold and friend of ours, has a new collection where inspired by his fascination with the work of experimental sound collective and multimedia pioneers Psychic TV to create an exhibition entitled B.K. Scum. Using over 30 years of the group’s sleeve art, videos and assorted propaganda as a starting point to forge a world all his own, B.K. Scum is a showcase for Dust’s mastery of symbolism, appropriation, and the power of ritual, fitting in perfectly with the ethos of Psychic TV. For the show, he has created several new prints and paintings, as well as a fully functioning guitar in the shape of the group’s iconic Psychic Cross logo.

B.K. Scum opens this Friday, March 4th at the Mishka store located at 350 Broadway. Mishka will be releasing their own Psychic TV-inspired clothing collection, as well as an exclusive B.K. Scum tee shirt available for purchase at the show. Also, Dust has teamed up with DJ / producer Star Eyes (Trouble & Bass) for a B.K. Scum mix, a collection of Psychic TV music and rarities collected throughout the years, along with exclusive vocals from Genesis. DOWNLOAD
