Peter Kennard 🇬🇧 Political Photomontage • Print Release , by monstris on Jan 13, 2011 3:28:48 GMT 1, If you thought Banksy's 'Crude Oils' was something special, Peter dropped missiles into Constable's Haywain in 1980 and instantly created a powerful anti-nuclear statement. A statement so strong that Tate have included that along with a good number of Peter's pieces in their permanent collection.
Now Peter has a new book, @earth, coming out on Mayday [01 May 2011]. It includes new works alongside pieces from his 40+ year career.
I've seen it from its inception and the images never lose their punch.
You can get it on preorder from Amazon:
www.amazon.co.uk/earth-Peter-Kennard/dp/1854379844
And you can find out more about it by 'liking' it on Facebook:
www.facebook.com/atearth
Peter's also on Twitter:
www.twitter.com/at_earth
Not bad for a man who's about to turn 62....

Love the Constable piece, but the Blair Photo Op is very powerful

....as has Banksy - but he's done his in the form of a new drawing.... If that sort of thing matters to you.
.... if you're not too familiar w Peter's older stuff, here's what Tate has:
www.tate.org.uk/servlet/ArtistWorks?cgroupid=999999961&artistid=10184&page=1
....right. that's my bit of PR done. hope you like the book. it really is rather special.

"The impetus for this photomontage was the proposal to hone US nuclear cruise missiles in the East Anglian countryside. It was also a response to a Ministry of Defence leaflet, which portrayed the missiles in delicate watercolours as a harmonious part of the landscape. Here Peter Kennard combines two existing images to create a critical new meaning. He takes John Constable's painting The Hay Wain (1821), an idyllic depiction of the East Anglian countryside, and superimposes thrree nuclear warheads on the hay wagon. The subversion of a familiar icon of pastoral England achieves a chilling effect."

Not everyone has a long term art culture. I was not aware some artists did the same 25 years ago and it is always interesting to get that kind of background info for a good perspective, so I thank the author of that thread.

Peter Kennard 🇬🇧 Political Photomontage • Print Release , by monstris on Jan 31, 2011 19:23:39 GMT 1, Peter's speaking at Tate Talks tomorrow, 01 February from 1130-1600h. It's free. And he's sharing a platform with Jazzie B. Innit.
www.tate.org.uk/britain/eventseducation/talks/23425.htm
"How is ‘Britishness’ defined, and how can it be critiqued? How has culture shaped the nation’s ideas about itself? Is ‘Britishness’ relevant in contemporary society as a cultural form, and how has it adapted during different historical periods? Can it still exist and function as a collective concept?
The second in a series of seminars examining ‘Britishness’ in relation to art and culture explores its changing role and how different ideas, diasporas and diverging cultures have influenced a sense of national identity.
Sonia Boyce, Peter Kennard, Faisal Abdu’Allah and Jazzie B (Soul 2 Soul) discuss the influence of politics, subversion and subcultures on our collective and national consciousness.
The seminar will be chaired by Dr Raimi Gbadamosi, focusing on the 70s and 80s as a period of divergence in the characterisation of ‘Britishness’ as a cultural mode."
