The latest exhibition at Projekts gallery titled ‘This is for you’ is a show made up of collaborations with Artist Paul Roberts’ Monsters Monsters.
The idea for the project is devilishly simple, drawing up a hit list of artists Paul Admires, he sent them doodles, paintings, patterns for plush toys and toys themselves with instructions for them to let their imaginations run riot.
Among the Artists are names like Jon Burgerman, Micheal Sieben, Ian Stevenson, The Outcrowd Collective, Travis Millard as well as some up and coming hot new talent, resulting in over 50 individually pieces from all over the world (see flier attached for full list). Projekts is happy to invite all their friends to the gallery on Friday 6th June for a special preview of the work.
Show runs; Weds 4th-Sun 22nd June Opening night: Friday 6th June 7-9pm
