Dear Friends of Corporate Watch,

We are organising an exhibition of subverts and counter corporate art to

Corporation'. The film is due to be released on 29^th October. 

The exhibition consists of 12 posters featuring spoof adverts, subverted 
corporate logos, cartoons, billboards and other artwork from a wide 
spectrum of artists and organisations including billboard 'alterations', 
internet graphics and spoof corporate posters.

The exhibition includes work by stencil-wielding Banksy, the cartoonist 
Polyp, and the Russian designer Artle Bedev. It also includes work from 
campaign / art groups like San Francisco's Billboard Liberation Front, 
Canada's Adbusters, Subvertise.org, London's Reclaim the Streets, People 
& Planet, Rising Tide, the Coalition against BioPiracy, StopEsso, 
McSpotlight, Action Aid and Corporate Watch.

The exhibition is organised in collaboration with Action Aid Space, The 
Ecologist and Metrodome Film Distribution.
