NEWSPEAK: British Art Now
 /  (1 of 10)

Exhibition catalog for Newspeak, a show of new British art held at the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, Russia. The show is jointly presented by the Hermitage and the Saatchi Gallery, which will host an expanded version of the show in two parts during 2010.

The catalog's design is influenced by the Orwellian title in addition to the story of Alexander Litvinenko, an ex-KGB officer turned British journalist and fatally poisoned for exposing corruption in modern day Russia. The radioactive poison, Polonium, destroyed Litvinenko over the course of a month. Therefore, a deliberate attempt was made to connote radioactivity, graphic-visual-typographic corruption, and decay throughout the book.

Zine containing celebrity “Tweets” taken verbatim from their official Twitter accounts combined with found imagery. The publication addresses the permanence and often frivolousness of online publishing.

Through juxtaposition and visual metaphors, a running
commentary is conducted and delivered with a bit of sarcasm.
