Mnnk Bro. / Takashi Murakami / Jp The Wavy - Rrose Selavy / Besides It's Always The Others [12" Vinyl]

The enigmatic song title "Rrose Sélavy, Yet It Is Always Others Who Die - MNNK MADE" originates from the collaborative fashion label created by Takashi Murakami and Yuta Hosokawa, inspired by Marcel Duchamp-widely regarded as the father of contemporary art. ("Rrose Sélavy" was Duchamp's famous female alter ego, while "It is always others who die" is the epitaph on Duchamp's tombstone.) Hosokawa's renowned brand READYMADE also draws it's name directly from Duchamp's groundbreaking concept of the "readymade," first embodied by his iconic urinal work titled Fountain, which fundamentally transformed the course of modern art. The vinyl jacket reinterprets this conceptual lineage, featuring new artwork by Murakami that reimagines Duchamp's masterpieces and connects the history of contemporary art to this unique musical project. The release includes three randomly inserted trading cards out of 20 total designs, with a very rare chance of finding a double-signed card autographed by both JP THE WAVY and Takashi Murakami, each individually numbered (limited to only 5 cards).
