Taking over The Sandbox, The CarWash and The Platform at 1 Quaker Street, The Art of Flying is an immersive exhibition that dives into the world of fly-posting. Created from an oral history project documenting the stories of commercial fly-posters across the UK between 1973 and 1993, the display explores the spirit of this urban subculture across archive, sound, film and live events. There’ll be photo histories of street fly-posting, first-hand accounts of people who worked “on the brush”, free screen printing sessions with Jealous Gallery, documentary interviews, montages of fly-posting on screen, and talks by artists and activists.
