Our History Private View: 26th September, 6-9pm An Exhibition of original & editioned graphic art prints 1988-2006 27th-8th October Films at Vibe Bar Wednesday 5th October, 7pm
Club Culture could not have been as groundbreaking and forward thinking without the medium of graphic design. Cutting and pasting, before the advent of the digital age, artists working from their bedrooms, some too young to know what they were doing, sometimes being paid in kindness, these images at the time were playing a crucial part in the development of the culture, and now one of our only points of reference to a somewhat fuzzy time. Our history will exhibit and sell editioned signed prints of some of the most famous and ground breaking club-based graphic images from 1989 till the present day. You are invited to read about the artists, clubs and labels these images represented. The exhibition is the first of its kind. It will take the viewer through a historical journey through the images that shaped this period. Our History will be the first to start building a visual historical record of this era.
