Tim Head, ‘Equilibrium’ (1975)
Laurence Hamburger, ‘Frozen Chicken Train Wreck‘ (co-published by Chopped Liver Press and Ditto Press 2013)
“I began collecting South African tabloid posters in 2008 with no other purpose than to preserve them. I thought they were funny, clever and true. Composed in a local vernacular of shebeen English, these statements are part of the texture of our urban fabric; so familiar as to almost disappear. The newspapers themselves were not keeping an archive, and however ephemeral they might seem I thought there was a relevance in them that was not being recognised; something uniquely South African.”

Tobias Rehberger
Tobias Rehberger, ‘We Never Work on Sundays’ (1994)
Rehberger – from memory and with scant regard to technical accuracy – drew icons of 20th century design, including pieces by Marcel Breuer, Alvar Aalto and Gerrit Rietveld. He then took them to Cameroon and, working with local artist Pascale Martine Tayou, employed Cameroonian craftsmen to make replicas based on the drawings.
