Click on the cover below to read the captions and read the press release below and take a look at what fun we had... < PRESS RELEASE
Selling significantly fewer copies than OK!, heat and Hello combined, anti-celebrity humour magazine hate takes a witty, irreverent and sometimes downright vindictive look at the rich and famous and a nation obsessed with them. Written and art-directed by Calvin Holbrook and initially printed entirely for free using colour printers at IPC Media, hate was launched in 2002 at the forefront of the fanzine re-revolution. The White Cubicle provides the perfect setting for the first hate exhibition: the worst toilet journalism, salacious sleaze and perverted picture stories lifted from previous issues will be blown up and adapted for the cubicle walls in a fluro cut and paste howl of rage. In addition, the show will incorporate original drawings by Calvin and the recently exhibited collage, the David Beckham Fantasy Football triptych. A limited edition of Darius Calorific Cumshake posters will be up for grabs and the artist will also be producing a very limited numbered mini edition of hate featuring its best bits so far, only available on this special night. Following the recent spate of reforming 90s pop bands, hate is delighted to confirm that both Bad Boys Inc and Big Fun will be performing live on the night.* Calvin Holbrook was born on the Isle of Wight in 1977 and lives and works in London. Calvin works as an artist and this is his third show this year following exhibitions at the Covent Garden Film Studio and Space studios. Extending the hate ethos of questioning celebrity culture, Calvin primarily works with collage, incorporating his journalistic skills of wordplay to corrupt existing texts in an attempt to create humorous pieces.
