Martyn Cross
Ongoing Project
For The Message Bristol based artist Martyn Cross will provide on ongoing supply of handmade and budget posters to display within the pub. Advertising imaginary bands, dj's, events and menus, the posters will hope to draw upon the low tech, badly spelt but highly individual and idiosyncratic ephemera that can be seen readily in many local public houses.
Taking his customary painting practice as a starting point in the making of these signs, Cross will create a link to a world that is at once both unsettling and laughable. His usual work of vandalised knitting patterns feature characters of a curious bent: these posters will offer an alternative take on their existence.
