Rock Posters Tour at Archipelago feat. The
Firehouse Kustom Rockart Company (Chuck Sperry & Ron Donovan)
To mark the opening of the new
screen printing studio at Archipelago, the gallery is staging a two-day show of highly collectable US and British Rock Art
posters. The show will feature the work of the prolific rock poster creators Chuck Sperry and Ron Donovan of San Francisco's
FIREHOUSE KUSTOM ROCKART COMPANY - who will be blazing through the UK during the month of June for an incendiary rock
art poster tour. The form is resurgent on both sides of the Atlantic and there will be workshops discussing techniques and
design approaches on the evenings of 17th and 18th June.
Also on view will the work of Sheffield's own
Martin Bedford, who's pioneering designs for the Leadmill during the 1980s and early '90s set a new benchmark for promotional design
for gigs and events in the city.
