New Show @ The Herbert "Caught in the Crossfire", by BorntoKiln on Jan 26, 2013 13:38:05 GMT 1, Thanks for the picts coach, Do you know who did the soft rifle? I like that. Very Harriet Hammel's - weapons of soft construction.

BorntoKiln, the red SA80 rifle is in velvet, absolutely stunning detail and was by an artist (female) called Al Johnson, from her series 'Roaring Girls', and is meant to "consider the involvement of woman in warfare". (I'm just quoting from the catalogue). As you say very similar work to Harriet Hammel.

New Show @ The Herbert "Caught in the Crossfire", by Coach on Jan 26, 2013 21:11:01 GMT 1, You are welcome. thanks for the further info WB.
Book recomendation:
I bought this at the show - its very good, and well worth the modest price tag:
www.amazon.co.uk/earth-Peter-Kennard/dp/1854379844/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359231048&sr=8-1
@earth is as revolutionary in form as it is in content. It contains no words: instead it tells its story in the universal language of photomontage, long the favoured medium of radical artists. Peter Kennard is one such, whose work has consistently questioned power structures and injustice, from his anti-nuclear works of the 1980s to his powerful works in response to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. @earth is a photo-essay in seven chapters, combining new works, made together with Tarek Salhany, with iconic images from throughout Kennard's 40-year career. In turn challenging, shocking, unsettling and poignant, @earth makes a powerful statement about the impending eco-crisis, the arms race and the injustices of the power structures dominating today's world.

New Show @ The Herbert "Caught in the Crossfire", by Deleted on Jan 26, 2013 22:30:49 GMT 1, thanx for your kinds words johnnyh, took me ages to source the correct uniform fabric for each letter, which represent british incursions into Afghanistan, from the first Afghan war in 1836 until now! I'm returning to The Herbert on the 19th of Feb to give an artists talk, part of their Illuminations series and I'm really looking forward to having a better look around the city of Coventry, what an amazing history!

I will try to be there. Talking of Coventry history, there was a very good programme on radio 4 this morning (10.30 am). Pauline Black of the Selector talking about Coventry history, interviewing people, and of course talking about the rise of ska and two tone. Well worth a listen on listen again.

New Show @ The Herbert "Caught in the Crossfire", by Feral Things on Jan 30, 2013 0:00:46 GMT 1, There are some pretty savage cuts to arts funding in the UK at the moment and I wouldn't imagine the Herbert is necessary a wealthy museum, so it's great to see them putting on such an interesting and thought-provoking exhibition.
I hadn't made the connection between the exhibition being held in Coventry and the damage which the city sustained in WWII until Coach mentioned it above. Likewise, knowing about the different uniform-materials in War Boutique's piece put it in much better context for me. So thank you chaps for the really helpful posts.
I'd only seen the Haywain and Tony Blair pieces by Peter Kennard before and although they kind of made me smile they never really connected with me. However, the piece in this show really makes me want to go away and find out more about his stuff.
