Don’t expect jingling
bells, carol singers or a Santa’s Grotto this year at Signal for Christmas.
After a year of jubilees and twinkling medals, we really felt the need
to redress the balance with something not festive at all. So we asked
our resident Punk legend Gaye Black (aka Gaye Advert), who’s always in
favour of a good dollop of the dark side, to curate this one with malice.
All the artists in the show have been given strict instructions not to
have a good time and have been chosen for their penchant for the quirky
anyway. Expect the worst!
The line-up is:
Ben Edge – front man from the neo-punk band ‘Thee Spivs’ and damn talented
artsist
Brian P – Extraordinary artist from Australia
Carrie Reichardt - Renegade potter and mosaic artist
Dale Grimshaw – dark & moody gallery/street artist with a punk past
Ella Guru - a founding member of Stuckist movement
Espira – Purveyor of edgy/controversial images
Gaye Black – The legend herself! Many shows this year, including USA,
London and Berlin
Jason Atomic – Cartoon artist from London and much more
Jowe Head – Punk legend from the influential 70s punk band the Swell Maps
KEELERTORNERO - collaborative artists producing surreal collage and paintings
MyDogSighs – Known for painting on crushed tin cans and more
Rufus Dayglo - comic book artist of Tank Girl fame
Sophie Lo - Parisian artist/designer – iconic poster & album design
Tom Spencer - Tattoo stained glass artist and bass player in a number
of noted bands including the Loyalties
Wreckage International – From Mutoid Waste
