Subersive anti-Olympic sponsor art is springing up all over London. fantastic stuff!
The activist art fraternity are getting really busy and there is going to be spome really imaginative stuff about the place.
What a shame if this takes the shine of some of the slick branding!

Revers graffiti piece created by Moose Curtis and dedicated to the survivors of the Bhopal Disaster
In Moose’s own words:
“I was being filmed by CNN when I made the piece, ( its just rainwater fired against wooden stencils on some really toxic looking sea wall lichen) it represented the horrid ring of poison created by the original pollution and the take over of Union Carbide by the drug company (Dow Chemical) who are the poison on the other half of the eternity ring. I talked about what little I know about the disaster, while they filmed, but they edited the whole thing out just having me say at the end of the film that ’ I really liked it and it looked good”.

SWOON visited India and, as part of her trip, made a special journey to Bhopal in the hope of understanding a little more about what had happened there, why it has never been put right and why there are still so many people suffering.
Purely by coincidence she found herself at the Sambhavna clinic, our clinic, and was inspired enough, by the activities of the clinic, to use photos of it as the main part of her contribution to the ‘Skullduggerous’ show.
We’re totally stoked that SWOON should have found herself at the clinic and decide to use it in her work!!
After a few days betting over the launch of our ‘Skullduggerous’ show, it’s time to get on with loading up some more stuff… We still have quite a few great works to get up online so watch this space..
Street artists get angry and creative about the killing in Bhopal - great group show at Pure Evil Gallery, London.
