Loved this. Great night. Unfortunately some of the art was a bit ropey. Gee Vaucher, Guy Denning and Dale Grimshaw saved the show in my eyes.

I looked. I grasped. I made an informed decision on what I was looking at and why all the art had been put together and then I left. As I say some of work was a bit 'ropey'.

I have a few pictures but didn't hang around too long as I had to shoot off early. I'm sure Gwenie or another will post some once the hangovers have subsided. I'll post some pictures over the weekend if nobody else does in the meantime.
On the art side of things, I found the exhibition very interesting and will pop back when it's less busy to take a proper look. Most of the art apart from the artists you mentioned Smellmyfinger was from members of the punk bands, so was very early art school efforts and more history of the era than anything else. I myself found the show refreshing and intriguing. Well done Signal, I know a lot of work went into organising the event.

Will the art that is for sale go up on the website for those of us who don't live in London to get a chnance to see it and maybe buy???

Here is the exhibition page for the show. www.signalgallery.com/punk.htm

No offence Signal, but I did find this a bit disapointing, nice from Polystyrene but really, really, expensive at 2K??

Charlie Harper was a barber before singing in UK Subs wasn't he??? Nerd fact number 2...I read some where that UK Subs (There's a burning sun and it sets in the western world/ But it rises in the East and preddy soon it's gonna burn your temples down...Warhead, Warhead....) have the gold medal for the highest number of people playing in the group, incredibly, even beating The Fall.

I guess anyone under the age of 40 need not bother reading the above as they probably will not know what the hell I'm on about!!!

what are the dimensions of the dennings?

I'm under 40 and well aware of the Uk Subs, warhead is one of my favorite songs of there's.

lies - rumour has it that you are really 41 ;D

LV Child is now sold!

Unfortunately, I have to sell prints I like in order to afford others i,e. new Eelus and framing. At least that's what the other half tells me.

Here are the dimensions for the Denning pieces
All in her head - 50 x 23 cm
Trying to remember - 35 x 46 cm
The dreams of children 1 (the girl with the pin earring)' - 25 x 48 cm
The dreams of children 2 (another idea chokes and dies)' - 24 x 44 cm

Sorry you're a bit disappointed Nacional. This has been our most popular show. A unique collection of artwork by the widest range of Punk musicians - from the hardcore Anarcho politics of Penny Rimbauds (Crass) piece, to the very glamorous world of Adam Ant. The show's not so much about sales, but about a celebration. Got it

The show ends tomorrow. We'll be celebrating with the rest of the gin with some of the artists, so feel free to pop along.

I think you'll find that some of the works are very reasonably priced and many are of very high quality. No doubt about it, Poly is a legend and the decision to ask 2K was hers, not ours. Same for Penny. Several of the works are Not For Sale.

Anyway, come and have some gin tomorrow and we can battle it out with the artists.

Past tense, I think. Most Punks are now middle aged and with mortgages.
