The launch was last Tuesday. Missed it, but someone has been public-spirited enough to put on a display in Hosier Lane. See the Breakdown Press website for the background - http://www.breakdownpress.org - here's part of the blurb: Breakdown Poster Series #2 features work from individual artists and arts collectives, from Australia, Indonesia and North America. These artists have used embroidery, woodcuts, illustration, collage, computer-generated trickery, cut ‘n paste, screen printing and scratchboard techniques in producing their newsprint poster designs. The limited edition cover poster was printed by Big Fag Press, a new artist-run printing co-operative based in Sydney, Australia. Some of the artists have worked in collaboration.Some have worked alone. Together they have produced this publication.
At a time when the role of creative activism is as vital as ever, these posters help to breakdown feelings of despair, analyse corporate agendas and provide some hope in a increasingly concreted and controlled world.
These posters were published by Breakdown Press in Melbourne November 2006, to coincide with the G20 Summit and the Carnival against Capitalism protests.
