Flogging A Dead Horse - 18th March, by Steal From Work on Mar 2, 2011 18:41:08 GMT 1,
Steal From Work (12 Days of Xmas, Not A Penny Off The Pay, Crimes of Passion, etc) return with Flogging A Dead Horse, a new group exhibition featuring some of the best (and some of the worst) urban, street & contemporary artists in the world.
We haven't produced a show for two years, in fact we'd all but retired from doing shows, but we decided it was time to return. But why now? Well, we've been sitting back, checking what everybody else is up to and quite frankly we're bored. The urban-street-contemporary (God knows what to call it) art scene has got really safe and tedious. Too many characterless galleries producing lifeless exhibitions. Too many curators afraid to take risks. Too many events with zero quality control. Too many artists happy to churn out the same piece again and again. In short, far too little excitement...
So we're taking it back to the chaotic, rule breaking, breathtaking vibe behind our very first group shows to produce Flogging A Dead Horse (and we guarantee it won't please everyone).
The Artists In a scene where artists are almost mega-brands and the very mention of certain names are bandied about like golden tickets guaranteeing gallery success, we've decided to keep all the artists a secret until opening night!
Commercial suicide? Maybe, but who cares, it's not supposed to be all about the money. Is it???
Venue The Showroom 31 College Green Bristol BS1 5SP (at the bottom of Park Street - click here for map)
Opening night Friday 18th March - 7.30-9.30pm
Then open Sat 19th - Sun 27th March - 11-7pm
FFI www.stealfromwork.org/events/flogging-a-dead-horse/
P.S. If you like your art safe, easily packaged and are a fan of boring shows, or if you think that just because you can use photoshop to make an 'edgy' stencil you're an artist - this isn't for you, best stay away.
Otherwise see you there. x

Flogging A Dead Horse - 18th March, by jakek on Mar 20, 2011 17:07:38 GMT 1, Has anyone else been to the show?
I popped along and really enjoyed it.
I've not idea who was behind all the work but the humour was spot on and the exectuction was fantastic.
To answer some of the questions on the thread the show is a piss take on what the "scene has become" - obey prints but with ebay instead, another "failed" stencil, a screenprint of susan boyle given the d*face treatment and pieces based on banksy, warhol, hirst, eine and haring.
The banksy colour range was a very funny piece - colour charts with different colour ways for different collectors - from forum fans to z list celebs.
It's well worth popping in and having a look around and a very sharp observation on what street art has become.

Flogging A Dead Horse - 18th March, by jakek on Mar 27, 2011 22:11:51 GMT 1, Jono was saying he was going to do one today but didn't get around to it - i don't know if he sold everything off later today.
It was all brilliantly produced so would they would look good on the wall, and i doubt anyone could tell the difference between the real thing!

Flogging A Dead Horse - 18th March, by gnobziw on Mar 28, 2011 1:44:53 GMT 1, love the d-face susan boyle title - 'the last untouched celebrity' !!! f**king hilarious. and the Faile piece was awesome . did anyone see the hand sprayed on paper version .. an absolute steal.
ps i heard a rumour that some of the piece were actually done by the artist lampooning themselves !! the mind boggles .
