Project Zoltar, the multi-platform creative collective spearheaded by Dan Macmillan and Kieron Livingstone, celebrates ten years since its inception. A deliberately disruptive entity, Project Zoltar was born as an antidote to the dying art of British eccentricity.
First formed with a shop in London’s Soho, Project Zoltar has since existed as both a widely acclaimed international fashion label as well as an underground artistic collaborator. Fusing both fashion and art, Project Zoltar has continually infiltrated creative institutions over the last ten years, with on-going and ever-changing showcases of guerrilla artwork. To celebrate, Project Zoltar has created its first comprehensive collection of work to date with an accompanying one-night London-based exhibition; a cardinal silk bound, gold-embossed book, echoing the craft and design of ancient religious texts, documenting the continued machinations of this art, fashion and design house.
Project Zoltar has produced many notable collaborations, including a major commission by Nike in 2010. They have exhibited the work of Marlon Richards, famed photographer Mick Rock and New York surrealist painter Robert Hawkins. The Project Zoltar clothing range, designed by Macmillan and Livingstone, has also been fuelled by collaborations with notable designers Bella Freud and Anita Pallenberg.
