Human Branding opens at 19:00 on the 12th September 2003 at Showroom

Human Branding is a reading, not a battle cry. Human Branding is a way
of communicating, not a manifesto. Human Branding is a mechanism, not a position.

Human Branding is an examination of the ways in which some contemporary artists use figurative human(oid) forms in a logo-istic way, a way of rapidly communicating complex information to us in the same way that many other logos or trademarks might.

Human Branding consists of:

Exhibition - Showroom MAMA

Featured Artists:

  • Luuk Bode
  • Barrett-Forster
  • DJ Chantelle
  • Jemima & Dolly Brown


Exhibition - Human Branding will take place at two locations
