Get Involved

I have to admit that i had low expectations for this months exibishion at the Concrete Hermit when i herd that the subject matter would be the flyer’s from The Social nightclub in central London. That was until the full line-up of A-list designers and artists were announced. The show has over 30 contributors including Ian Stevenson, James Joyce, Dave The Chimp, Anthony Burrill, Jon Burgerman, Lazy Oaf, John Slade, Build, Jeremyville and Kate Moross.

Get involved has to be one of the smallest exhibitions i have ever been to, only using half the wall space in the already tiny Concrete Hermit gallery. Why they choose to use such a small space to exhibit the work of over 30 artists I’ll never know.

The work itself was absolutely brilliant. It seems that The Social nightclub has given every designer complete creative control over each flyer design so what we get is over 30 completely different and diverse pieces based on the same subject matter. In fact this show holds many similarities to the brilliant “If You Could” annual project (this years is shaping up to be something truly special).

The Concrete Hermit will also be selling exclusive prints of all the work shown at the exhibition. Prints are priced at £20 each and come in editions of 10 will all profits going directly to the artists.

Exhibition rating: 7 out of 10

Dispite the lack of space Im glad this exibishion was shown at the hermit because its crisp clean walls and light and airy space really did the artists work justice. Overall this was a decent show with a different and intresting theme, not the best exibishion the hermit has ever produced but defently worth checking out.
