Cymbals and the signs
This appeared while surfing the blogs today, with my dissertation in full swing it's hard to think creatively. This for the hoards of Cadbury's Gorilla fans has a huge impact. To me it aims at exactly the right audience. The younger generation that have gained an affinity to a brand that shows gorillas are great.
Long live the gorilla playing the drums I say.
Idea Store/Lost
So... CRAP went to The Idea Store today in Tower Hamlets. Basically it's a library that has free internet and looks not bad, the trouble we got lost horribly on the way there, and the way back! It's in Bow(ish) area, north of Bow Road tube and nowhere near any other tube. Took ages to get there and on way home we ended up getting lost, going past the Blackwall Tunnel, some flats we looked at 6 months ago and the 2012 Olympic site. Yes we got that lost we ended up in Stratford! Pudding Mill Lane DLR to be exact.
This fun thing of today was that this end of London is very new to me, a bit out the way and scary, in a good way. But the best bit by far was seeing that Wal&Jai's Creative in London blog was blocked by the library server, because it contained porn...hmm really?!
Kessels Gallery Opening NIght
The KK outlet are holding their gallery opening this Thursday:
KK Outlet presents: Never Knowingly Understood. The Art Of The Shoreditch Twat
For a period in the early 1990s, when the dotcom boom was still a boom Shoreditch was the epicentre of all things hip in the United Kingdom. Media luvvies thronged the area dreaming up gorilla marketing campaigns and drinking coffee. Essential reading, for finding out what was going on, as well as lampooning the new local residents was The Shoreditch Twat magazine.
Conceived in 1999 as a a listings magazine for Shoreditch nightclub 333, it quickly grew to become an irreverent, satirical fanzine. By 2002 it had grown so famous that Channel 4 Television and Talkback commissioned a one-off comedy show based on the magazine, which went on to win special mention at the 2003 Montreaux Comedy Award. The magazine survived for four years and thirty-one issues, during which time it survived three libel threats, sixteen defamation of character charges and seven fist fights.
Never Knowingly Understood presents an overview of the artwork of the magazine in all its low-quality glory. It opens at KK Outlet on the 4th of December at 7PM and runs from the 4th till the 31st of December.
