Local Knowledge is partnering with NY-based artist Robert Lazzarini on a new series of silk-screen prints. A percent of the proceeds from this edition will go towards funding Local Knowledge Magazine.

Based on the Motion Picture Association's rating system for movies in the United States, Rated R signifies viewer restriction and mature content. Each print is unique and works with a varying degree of mark-making, which the artist refers to as the language of bodily injury; nicks, scrapes, cuts, and abrasions.

America’s violent past is continually being revisited in our violent present. The fact that Americans are obsessed with it as entertainment says as much about the commodification of violence as it does about the ever-increasing blur between violence in reality and fictional violence. The prevalence of violence across all media adds to this confusion.
