Future Ghosts of Battersea
As part of this years London Comica event the Pumphouse Gallery in Battersea is hosting a site specific exhibition - 'The Shapes of Comics to Come' which features work by Dave Mckean, Daniel Merlin Goodberry, Adam Dant and Warren Pleece.
Originally destined to be exhibited on the parks bandstand the four pieces above form part of a larger strip that forms a further aspect of Daniel's installation. The bandstand comic strip, which features work by several other artists including Douglas Noble, Ellen Lindner and John Cei Douglas, depicts a fictitious free festival that took place in the bandstand in the 1970's. Amongst the crowd figures from history with some kind of a connection to Battersea assemble for the show.
The more observant among you will thus no doubt spot amongst the audience...William Blake, Malcolm McDowell & Stanley Kubrik (A Clockwork Orange was partly filmed in Battersea), Morrisey, Mick Jones, Timothy Spall, Alfred Hitchcock, Ronnie Biggs, Pink Floyds inflatable pig, a crowd surfing Victorian policeman and some residents from the nearby animal shelter.
The exhibition runs from 12th August to 26th September 2010 and looks to be well worth a visit.
