Most people know David Shrigley's work but this installation covered two massive walls so it was pretty impressive. It was just a load of print outs of some of his hand rendered text and illustrations.
"Shrigley is known to countless fans for the quirky vignettes with goofy drawings and maladjusted aphorisms that have appeared in newspapers, magazines and his own books. Insisting that hes 'not really interested in telling jokes as such; most of the time I'm trying to be serious. For me everything has to have some kind of humour to it because that's the way life is. It's funny and its sad and bad at the same time'."
I particularly liked this poster for the barn dance. It's on Sunday at 8pm in the barn btw. Unfortunately I couldn't find a picture of my favourite piece. I really wanted to print it out and stick it around my flat. It simply said:
'Dear neighbours,
Please keep the fucking noise down
you inconsiderate bunch of stupid cunts.'
If I wrote it out again, it might seem rude haha!
