Press release for 'POLSKI' event

For immediate release: A Polish Projection

Polish artist Alicia Rogalska brings her text based projection project, POLSKI to Erdington High Street on Friday the 14th December from 4pm till 6pm.

Shoppers and members of the public will be invited to become part of Alicja’s artwork. Words and phrases will be projected onto them as they pass in front of the projector.

“It’s a chance for people to realise how it feels to be labelled as something, whether they like it or not,” explains Alicja, “Britain is so diverse today that if labels were put on everyone the task would be never ending”

It’s the same old story with a new lead character. Britain and in particular Birmingham is so ethnically diverse we can really call it a ‘global’ city. With the young people of the city today being, third, fourth or even fifth generation migrants we are inheriting a rich culture on a global scale.”

The work follows closely on the heels of Ikon’s recent activity in Erdington town centre and recognises the potential and changing face of the area.

Alicja Rogalska is a participatory artist from Poland, currently based in Birmingham. She is interested in putting art in informal places and creating opportunities for members of the public to engage with her work.

The project is a continuation of her work with Galleri 54 in Gothenburg, Sweden which examines the experiences of immigrants to the country. Her work investigates notions of cultural identity and social perception.

New Marketing Designs

New designs by Ben Scarborough


Tuesday, 6 November 2007

After a meeting and discussion on our plans, the group concluded that the proposed marketing designs needed changes. The feeling was that the images painted a military style, rather than symbolism of travel and migration.
So these new images are more a consideration of the Polish national colours within a European, 'Brockman' style design

Marketing Designs


Here are a few ideas for posters and marketing for the event. Initial thoughts would be nice!
The design are provided by Ben Scarborough. (for free!) Which is ace, as we have no budget for this event.


The ideas for the design are -
To use plain clear font. Catchy headline for the name of the event. In this case we have gone for 100,000 Poles, as in initial and proposed idea generation.
Symbolism to consider within the design would be the suggestion of travel/migration, maps of the countries and colours of the flags, for both or either countries.
