Jody Barton comes to the bookstore with a brand new Tarot deck with completely new ideas, artwork and metaphors in keeping with the dismal and comic age in which we cower. Laugh, cry and hurl as you utilise these exquisite esoteric fortune telling cards to re-order your own disordered life(style) into something yet more baroque and disassociative. Meet the artist and writer of this romantic deluge Jody Barton, get him to sign your cards, pummel him for insights into the fog you call ‘your life’ and be a good member of society, turning up to awkwardly meet other people with obliquely similar interests. Drinks, salty snacks, maybe a playlist - Jody might even ‘talk’. It’s gonna be a gas.

Jody: "I'm totally devoted politically and emotionally to the right of all people to self-determine their identity and to live their lives in the peaceful way they want to live them. My entire practice as an artist is dedicated to this and I have worked for many organisations and individuals in support of these ideals. The content of my work in The Rotten Tarot is also in accordance with these beliefs. You can be assured that it is part of the future - not the past."
