Modern Toss in action during the Brighton Festival
By Mike Ashworth | May 6, 2009
Once again the wonderful people over at modern Toss have excelled themselves.
Not only have they got an exhibition running at a gallery throughout May, in Brighton, they have also put together a show for Brighton Festival Fringe.
The Exhibition
Their latest exhibition will feature all new work including screenprints, letterpress prints, moving things built from string and wood and a 100 year calendar.
Inspired by the current economic climate the boys from the Toss have been hard at work developing a range of motivational pieces designed to restore national morale and boost consumer confidence.
With that in mind they’re hoping their ‘IMPROPERGANDA’ range of artworks and posters will prove inspirational to anyone who wants to do their bit by buying something and hanging it on their wall.
A new print and re-usable cloth bag to rival the ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ ethic will raise the two-fingered salute to the credit crunch, and their coin-operated interactive pictures will have you digging out your small change to help bolster the national economy.
All this as well as the usual favourites will be here; a series of new ‘Work’ prints, the loveable Alan up to his usual tricks and Mr Tourette who, in an attempt to break down international trade barriers, has started offending clients in a foreign language.
Modern Toss - Buy More Shit or We’re All Fucked, May 1st - 31st, Ink_d Gallery, North Road Brighton.
The Show
An Evening of Edwardian Chamber Filth will feature a hand picked selection of top notch Modern Toss TV sketches, sliced up and re-jigged for your delectation, while a bunch of top rank classical violinists play all the music for it in front of you?!
Hosted by Mr Simon ‘ Mr Tourette’ Greenall and featuring the live vocal genius of Mr David ‘Drive by Abuser’ Schaal plus a sprinkling of special mystery guests, this is the big one for Toss fans. Meet the fucking idiots behind the phenomenon that is Modern Toss.
29th and 31st May at the Old Market.
