Anthony Burrill, Buro Destruct, Karl Maier, Leandro Castelao, Noma Bar and Ryan Dixon are among the artists showing at More Is A Bore – a new exhibition of minimalist graphic art which opens later today at The Ship Of Fools gallery in The Hague, Netherlands. While it isn't quite ready to open to the public just yet, we've got some snaps of the show taken this morning as the final pieces were being hung...


Two pieces of work by Büro Destruct on the wall and another work awaits hanging


Three works by Leandro Castelao - who will give a talk at the gallery space (see flyer below for details)


Anthony Burrills work in the show was produced when he was generating ideas for the cover of our April redesign issue


Above: two works by Karl Maier waiting to be hung. On the wall, two pieces by Noma Bar who will also giving a talk at the space during the show

I'd love to see this exhibition in the UK.
I think I could spend several hours just staring.

A big admirer of all this work. Simple yet effective. And some pieces are so strong, they are witty and amusing instantaneously . Lovely stuff! ;)

Looks like a brilliant show! Not sure I agree with the name of the show but I'm all for the argument of less is more.

The Dutch online design magazine Fontanel (http://www.fontanel.nl) has published an interview with Noma Bar today: http://fontanel.nl/special/interview-noma-bar/

Why show us an exhibition that looks awesome, the majority of whom cannot attend?
CR is a British mag non?

@A
It's made in Britain, yes, but we've always covered international work. Be a shame – and rather narrow minded – if we just restricted our coverage to the UK...

@A

I see your point.. frustrating. but what Mark says makes sense. I mean I would feel some what left out if I only knew the happenings within the the UK design scene. Also maybe some can make it and wouldnt have otherwise known. I have since emigrated to Australia and have no chance of making this exhibition. However still I read as I have found no other that compares to a good read of CR.

@Aleks
Thanks for that. Yes, as you've proved in commenting from Australia, our readers come from all over the world too. Glad you're still checking CR out...

@ Mark and Aleks

Totally get what your both saying and obviously CR will have international readers especially in an ever globalized world, from a purely 'what exhibition is on' point of view-Im just jealous i cant attend

The tash posters look awful - why are they displaying those? Anthony Burrills work should be given more space - that's the kind of innovation we want to see.
