Following on from the Halloween shenanigans of blood oaths, skulls and smashing pumpkins (literally of course, we played strictly black metal not Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness) Archipelago are proud to present Silver & Black - the third in a series of exhibitions curated by Sheffield artist and all round good egg, Kid Acne. This unique group show unites some of the UK's most prestigious designers, illustrators and graphic artists alongside the rising talents from South Yorkshire to Shoreditch.


Each individual has been given complete free reign, the only guideline was to produce a piece of work using just Silver & Black. Some have used the silver to represent Sheffield's "knife and fork town" heritage, some have interpreted it as a shiny vision of the future. Others more abstract and some just plain dumb!


Whatever their choice, the result is an incredibly striking show of metallic editions incorporating a diverse range of typography, illustrations and graphic design - All of which have been printed in house by resident screen printer and BMX wizard, Josh Bedford.
