Wallpaper* magazine currently has their ‘Tart Cards’ exhibition donning the walls at KK Outlet in Hoxton Square.
Last night was the private view so Kelly and I decided to take a little trip down there to check it out. It was really nice and we got to hang out with some pretty cool dudes too.
We talked shop for a while with the creative boys Will Thacker and Blake Waters. Also met Yen Ho, nice to finally put a face to the name! Drank some Tiger Beer with Craig Kind from Next Door and Jackson Platt who has just got back from a stint in W&K Amsterdam.
‘Tart cards are the lo-fi promotional tools of many London prostitutes. Step into almost any central London phone box and you can contemplate any number of cards inviting you to be tied, teased, spanked or massaged either in luxury apartments, fully equipped chambers or the privacy of your own hotel room. All this and more is just ‘one minute away’ from the box in which you are standing.
To coincide with the magazine’s first ever Sex & Art Issue, Wallpaper* – in conjunction with Type LLP and St Bride Library – asked designers, from students to superstars, to find the tart hiding in every type and provide their own graphic content.’
More than 400 cards are on show, including designs by Erik Kessels, Anthony Burrill, Neville Brody, NB:Studio, Spin, Value and Service, Fernando Gutiérrez, Ian Wright and Noma Bar.
Exhibition is running until 29 June so hurry up and get yourself down there!
