An interesting exhibition going down in London soon.
“PostlerFerguson is proud to present Paper Wars, an exhibition of the Death Machines series of paper reproductions of classic weapons systems at Portobello Road’s Craze Gallery.
The exhibition features a series of one-off pieces by an international selection of artists and designers. Using PostlerFerguson’s paper AK-47 kit as a starting point, each participant has recorded a personal reaction to the tension between the AK-47’s blend of seductive aesthetics, robust design and murky morality. Participants include Ben Wilson, El Ultimo Grito, Oscar and Ewan, Pixelgarten, Hiroko Shiratori, Paul Wysocan, Inkie, BASE23/DC|DE and more.
Also featured is a new addition to the Death Machines series, the Oerlikon anti-aircraft gun. First produced by the Swiss company Oerlikon Contraves in 1914, it was either sold to or stolen by all sides during WWI and WWII and continues to be used today.”
Well, between it being quiet in the ‘interesting, quirky or just plain odd’ front, and the flu from hell, we are happy to break the drullness with something that is, well, just plain odd.
It’s not through any act of extreme laziness, or even lack of interest that we have not posted for a little while. The truth is there has not been much that has captured our interest or garnered our attention even.
Fraud, plagiarised, copied, ripped off call it what you will. A Hong Kong based publisher has blatantly ripped of dozens of artists and online interviews and put together a book it’s selling for US$100.
