Pick Me Up: Contemporary Graphic Art Fair
April 13, 2010 | Levent OZLER
Pick Me Up is the first contemporary graphic art fair in the UK.
A selection of the most innovative and avant-garde graphic art and design galleries, collectives and publishers will present affordable work by the world's most cutting-edge graphic designers and illustrators.
Concrete Hermit, Evening Tweed, Le Gun, Landfill/Manymono, Nobrow, Nous Vous and Peepshow have been invited to Somerset House where they will create unique and creative exhibition spaces.
Art work by some of the best known names in the industry will be for sale as well as work by the most exciting emerging artists.
The fair will be presented alongside a unique programme of events and live performances, including an open studio with the celebrated paper designer Rob Ryan who will be moving his paper cutting studio and printing presses from East London to Somerset House so visitors can follow the entire process of the creation of Rob Ryan's prints.
Print Club London will run a screen-printing workshop with guest designers drawn from the great and the good of the graphic design world.
Each day of the fair invited graphic designers including Jonathan Barnbrook, Angus Hyland, Michael Johnson, Morag Myserscough and Scott King will be screen-printing one of their own designs live in the workshop.
