To mark the launch of the new Editions section on minimalux.com, co-founder and creative director, Mark Holmes has produced a series of 6 artworks. Common Parts is the result of a brief to only use existing materials and pre-made forms found within his immediate environment, together with unrestricted access to the contents of the Minimalux component shelves. Familiar industrially made product parts are subsequently removed from their original functional context and combined with concrete bricks to create objects that playfully reference elements of brutalism and minimalist art.

A fitting item to begin the series has been created in reference to the portable cell phone, first launched in 1973 by Motorola and nicknamed the ‘Brick’ because of its size and weight.

The Instamatic series of easy loading cameras made by Kodak from 1963 onwards introduced a generation to the concept of 'point and shoot’ and low-cost photography.

Referenced in this, the largest piece in the Common Parts series, is the iconic form of a classic home movie projector which has become symbolic of film and motion pictures from its birth to the present day.
