Free Exhibition: Hitsville UK: Punk in the Faraway Town, The Graphic Language of Punk 1976-1984
Russell Bestley
‘This exhibition is both a celebration of the wide range of graphic approaches adopted by punk sleeve designers, and an attempt to redress the balance of recent punk ‘histories’ which focus purely on a short-lived series of events based around the King’s Road and Oxford Street. It is based on the mapping and grouping of a wide range of punk-related seven inch single sleeves across the period 1976 to 1984, and seeks to tell a wider, more inclusive story of the punk years.’
