The printmaking studio Sticky Fingers was formed when the lead guitarist and founder of The Cambodian Space Project Julien Poulson was introduced to local screenprinter Heng Visal at The 1961 in Siem Reap. At the time, the point of the studio was simply to produce gig posters for and shape the visual look of The Cambodian Space Project, a psychedelic rock band from Phnom Penh that has been leading the country’s cultural revival.

乐队The Cambodian Space Project的创始人和主吉他手Julien Poulson在柬埔寨暹罗的The 1961认识当地丝网版画家Heng Visal，然后成立了版画工作室Sticky Fingers。刚开始，工作室的重点只是在于制作演出海报以及优化The Cambodian Space Project的视觉呈现效果。来自金边的迷幻摇滚乐队The Cambodian Space Project一直志在引领着这个国家的文化复兴。

IdleBeats is a Shanghai-based independent screenprint studio, founded by the Chinese artist Nini Sum and the German artist Gregor Koerting. They are well-known at home for their fresh and soulful print art, and their love of exploring different art mediums. In addition to making prints, Nini and Gregor also create illustrations, paintings, comic books, sculptures, and other kinds of experimental artwork. Last year in November, IdleBeats initiated a collaborative silkscreen exhibition series Tale of Two Cities, the first of which featured the print studio Frenchfourch from Paris.

位于上海的独立丝网版画工作室IdleBeats由中国艺术家Nini Sum和德国艺术家Gregor Koerting创立。他们因充满灵魂的新兴版画艺术，以及探索不同艺术媒体的热情而在国内享有一定知名度。除了版画之外，Nini和Gregor也创作了一系列实验性作品，包括插图、绘画、漫画、雕塑等。去年十一月，IdleBeats发起协作性丝网版画展览系列——“双城记”，其中首站以来自巴黎的印制工作室Frenchfourch为主打特色。

This year’s edition of Tale of Two Cities sees Phnom Penh’s Sticky Fingers and Shanghai’s IdleBeats come together to collaborate on a colorful and fun print entitled My Boy. The artists from both sides designed and printed the silkscreen prints all in the course of one searingly hot day at Julien Poulson’s studio in the sleepy town of Kampot, Cambodia. Incorporating found Khmer typography, iconic pop art from Cambodian packaging, and multiple layers of bright bold colors, the print is a delightful and eye-catching mix of both studio’s visual styles.

今年的”双城记”展览由金边的Sticky Fingers和上海的IdleBeats携手，共同创作出色彩缤纷鲜艳和充满趣味的版画作品:《My Boy》。两边艺术家来到柬埔寨Julien Poulson的工作室，在这个寂静小镇Kampot异常炎热的天气下，设计并印制出最后成品。作品中融入了高棉的版式设计和柬埔寨包装上的标志性波普艺术，并大胆用色彩层层叠加，同时融合了两个工作室的视觉风格，既赏心悦目且让人眼前一亮。

My Boy can now be purchased at the Neocha Shop. Each print was screen printed in four layers of red, yellow, blue, and black, on 300gsm unbleached Earth paper, in a limited edition of 40. If you live in or happen to be in Shanghai, the opening of this year’s edition of Tale of Two Cities #2 will happen this Saturday, December 10th.
