Democracy

As you are no doubt aware, Dirty Mouse is supporting Democracy, a challenging new graphic design exhibition forming part of Design Event, the North East’s annual design festival. The new Democracy website has recently gone live, and is now open to submissions. The site is aiming to create the ultimate democratic exhibition, “We’re inviting designers and illustrators to submit their visual interpretation of the theme of Democracy and only those with the most votes will be featured in the exhibition.”

Concrete Hermit collaboration with Tate Modern

On the 25th July, East London Gallery Concrete Hermit steps onto a bigger stage after being asked to supply a range of exclusive T-shirts and screen-prints for the Tate Modern. In a move that demonstrates the Tate’s interest and commitment to breakthrough illustration, work by three Concrete Hermit artists has been commissioned and will form part of the ‘Tate Modern Series’.

“We were approached by the product development team at Tate Modern who wanted to showcase the type of work we’ve been doing through our shirts and books at Concrete Hermit” explains Director Chris Knight. “It’s a fantastic opportunity for us to bring the work of these artists to a wider audience. Hopefully the project will reward the Tate’s willingness to engage with contemporary illustration and design and be the first of many collaborations.”
