Stick Stamp Fly

Gasworks Gallery, London

The second of a series of open submission projects.

Stick Stamp Fly is the second of a series of open submission projects at Gasworks following on from Blink, which invited applications from the field of animation in Summer 2006. Stick Stamp Fly looks into posters as a means to communicate an event, an opinion or a rumour, as well as objects of design in their own right.

The posters selected for Stick Stamp Fly share a high level of inventiveness, whether in the message or the design: by giving equal attention to content and form, Stick Stamp Fly brings together graphic and communication design, music, advertising and art.

Stick Stamp Fly is both an exhibition and the stage for events curated around six posters. The exhibition will feature over eighty posters by a variety of practitioners across the country, many of whom previously unknown to Gasworks. While some posters act as a vehicle for uncanny proposals and projects, others range from celebrating “chintz” to announcing products and services of the future.

The opening of Stick Stamp Fly and It’s Going to be a Long Night will set up unique situations by which the content of the posters will be animated, and in some cases realised for the first time, thus transforming Gasworks’s exhibition space into a festival of interventions.
