HERRODS 2013 | Competition | WINNERS, by Agent Provocateur on Dec 17, 2013 17:52:15 GMT 1, Thanks monkeyface, I think it came out really well beige... I'm thinking of liking the first post as well now, considering in the rules employees of Herrods and their families are allowed to!
Only kidding, just imagine if I announced the first name outta the APHQ competition hat was me!

Best new piece in 2013 and plans for 2014, by Agent Provocateur on Dec 16, 2013 23:33:22 GMT 1, Been slightly less frantic this year for me but just as much fun. Best fun of all has been creating a Salon Hang in our hall. Also two lovely Banksy originals arrived but keeping them under wraps. These three are certainly high up in my list of Y2013 arrivals. Next years list is simple and very focused...... Conor Harrington
Hmmm that's a very lighearted and low key mention of 2 Banksy originals arriving this year.
Admittedly your camoflauge is pretty stunning, the Neate drool worthy, Borf fascinating and Bast just plain badass and nasty buuut...
I'm still gonna hav to return to two Banksy's arriving this year and ur keepin em under wraps? So not in your bestest purchases of the year?
Go on give us tease, photo of a detail, r they new or old paintings... I wanna know more!

HERRODS 2013 | Competition | WINNERS, by Agent Provocateur on Dec 16, 2013 19:31:26 GMT 1, UNANNOUNCED RANDOM RULE CHANGE -
As the first post is feeling so well 'Liked' I think there should be a 1st, 2nd and 3rd freebie/prize giveaway for three people's names removed from the hat.
Nowt else has changed, KEEP 'Liking' THE FIRST POST, it just means there'll be 3 prizes. I just need to come up with the other two prizes and will post photos here when I've come up with them!
The 1st name out of the hat gets to choose which out of the 3 things they want. The 2nd name out of the hat gets to choose from the two remaining things. The 3rd name out of the hat doesn't get a choice and will be sent what's left!
Is that as clear as mud!?

HERRODS 2013 CLOSED, by Agent Provocateur on Dec 16, 2013 17:34:43 GMT 1, Also hung propped today was a unique 'Warning Sign' frame that's had pride of place at APHQ, it's approx. 650x450mm and never been aired in public...
It is available for purchase, the price is ยฃ250 plus P&P, but haggling is a necessity.

The Herrods xmas bizzare Wealth & Safety Dept. getting overzealous... a little blast from the Herrods 2012 past. Dave asked how much it was if someone wanted to buy it, not sure if he was taking the p*ss I told him to make it up as he went along (and maybe slip in the phrase 'wud look amazing floated in a white box frame', cue blank expression!).

HERRODS 2013 CLOSED, by Agent Provocateur on Dec 15, 2013 13:35:53 GMT 1, Just had a chat with Dave, he was a bit late getting in today as he was watching Mandela's funeral.
I asked him what time he thought he'd be closing today and he was pretty sure he'd be open 'til 4, possibly later, but not certain. So I think if you arrive before 4 you're safe, after and you're playing with fire.

HERRODS 2013 | Competition | WINNERS, by Agent Provocateur on Dec 13, 2013 19:45:07 GMT 1, Right, bit of a competition, freebie, giveaway type thing, just in case people would like more stuff they didn't know they wanted and will have little idea what to do with when they get it. And hopefully it'll be simple to enter with no long lists to annoy the 'last 100 posts' users.
One of the freebie giveaways...
Herrods xmas bizarre 2013 - Launch night goody bags 12.12.13 by aprovocateur, on Flickr
Just in case you actually care what's in the hand sprayed 'errods' bag; 1x Herrods stencil on card ed. of 10, 1x Herrods XB 2013 Flyer, 1x Herrods xmas bizzare sticker, 1x Herrods sticker, 1x Selfishges Gold Shiny Shiny Bling Bling disloyalty card ed. of 90, 1x GBH bumper sticker, 1x Danger Wrath of God Risk sticker, 1x Free Speech sticker, 1x Happy Hour sticker and 2x Shop badges... so to sum up, a useful brown paper bag, loads of stickers and other stuff.
Another of the freebie giveaways...
Herrods xmas bizarre 2013 - Beige Vase and Flowers by aprovocateur, on Flickr
A study in beige, has beige ever looked so unbeigee, 'Herrods Beige Vase and flowers' (detail posted far, far down this page).
And the third freebie giveaway...
Herrods xmas bizarre 2013 - Pud by aprovocateur, on Flickr
Herrods Pud, from a mini edition of 4 (signed, numbered and dated), as part of the incessant and repetitive marketing campaign Herrods adopted this year to p*ss everyone off. It's sprayed on very thin flip chart paper (bit like newsprint) and around A1 size... something you really want to frame and hang all year round.
How to enter [edited] - 'Like' THIS post to be entered in the competition to win one of the three freebies pictured above.
Entry closes 12 midday GMT Monday 23 December 2013.
I will pop all the names in a woolyclava and Mrs AP will don the sequined competition outfit to pick 3 winners. The 3 winners will be contacted in the order they were drawn from the hat, asked to choose their freebie (see 'Unannounced Random Rule Change below' for full details) and their postal address, once received the nominated freebie will be dispatched.
There will be no correspondence regarding the competition, we also reserve the right to change the rules at anytime without prior warning, our decision is final and Herrods employees and their families can enter

ps. and if you want to amuse the 'last 100 posts' users, and keep this thread at the top so everyone can ignore it, pop a surreal, funny or tangental post below... think Monty Python meets Mr Bean.
[edits: getting slightly less concise but hopefully y'all still understand!]

HERRODS 2013 CLOSED, by Agent Provocateur on Dec 13, 2013 16:54:24 GMT 1, Thanks for the comments, will try and take some more photos at the weekend, but if anyone pops in feel free to post any photos you take.
A postscript regarding opening times... seems like Dave got a bit bored today and was already packing away at 2:30, so I missed him to drop off the printed artwork list at 3:30!
It should be pretty safe at the weekends, Saturday is probably his main day, between 10:30 and 4:00. Sunday a bit later opening and earlier closing I think.
Hmmm maybe a live webcam feed would be a good idea so people can see what Dave's up to.
Do you all get the feeling the operation is run by cowboys!

HERRODS 2013 CLOSED, by Agent Provocateur on Dec 13, 2013 10:21:34 GMT 1, It's a tricky one stradled, so I'm erring on the side of caution. Junk&Gems is run by Dave, he's a quality bloke, but because of the nature of the establishment he sort of gets there around 10-10:30 in the morning and has to decant loads of stuff on to the street. Then at the end of the day everything in reverse, so he begins the clean up around 3-3:30, finally locking up round 4 (but that's all conjecture, I leave it up to him).
Here's the very loose opening times I've put on the website for anyone else that's heading along...
-
FRI 13 > MON 23 DEC 2013 | LONDON @ Junk&Gems 3 Upland Road, London SE22 9EE
Opening times: Mon 10.30 - 4 Tue 10.30 - 4 Wed CLOSED Thu 10.30 - 4 Fri 10.30 - 4 Sat 10 - 5 Sun 11 - 3
Due to the nature of the premises these times could vary 1/2 hour 'ish each way when opening and closing. Around midday should be safe.
