PoslerFerguson is set to present Paper Wars, an exhibition of the Death Machines series of paper reproductions of classic weapons systems at Portobello Road's Craze Gallery. The exhibition features a series of one-off pieces by an international selection of artists and designers. Using PostlerFerguson's paper AK-47 kit as a starting point, each participant has recorded a personal reaction to the tension between the AK-47's blend of seductive aesthetics, robust design and murky morality. Participants include Ben Wilson, El Ultimo Grito, Oscar and Ewan, Pixelgarten, Hiroko Shiratori, Paul Wysocan, Inkie, BASE23/DC|DE and more.
Also featured is a new addition to the Death Machines series, the Oerlikon anti-aircraft gun. First produced by the Swiss company Oerlikon Contraves in 1914, it was either sold to or stolen by all sides during WWI and WWII and continues to be used today.
Paper Wars will be up at the Craze Gallery from 15-21 May, open from noon until 8pm daily. Craze Gallery is located at 253 Portobello Road. Info via Slamxhype
