I went to the Jason Munn rock poster exhibition at A Pop Up Gallery at 161 Tory St after seeing it on Nightline last night. It’s the most polite exhibition I’ve ever seen, full of immaculately screenprinted indie rock posters which have never seen a club wall. The bands, and therefore their posters, are distinguished by their utter, utter bloodlessness, and I know that because I have most of them on my iPod.
Oh, dear.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s immaculate graphic art and the printing techniques are fascinating, but it decidedly does not rock. At all. Very, very Massey School of Design.
