An exhibition, a series of talks, an
auction and a publication exploring the paradox
of "designing the undesigned."
Thanks to your support, our final show is already up and running. Come and join us for a drink at the private view, on June 14th. at the Rochelle School (E2 7ES)… Don’t miss it!
Great news! The Pretty—Ugly catalogue has been featured on Manystuff. We have received quite a few orders… so if you’d like to receive one, we’d recommend to act now before they run out! To order your copy (£8 plus shipping), simply send an e-mail to thisisprettyugly@gmail.com.
Many thanks for your continued support! We’re really excited to see how many people have expressed interest in the publication.
We’ve finally gotten around to uploading photos from the Pretty—Ugly events to our flickr page. Check it out!
Presenting the Pretty—Ugly catalogue, as printed and bound on-site at The Gopher Hole over the course of two days. We have here 90 pages of goodness: interviews with OK-RM and We Have Photoshop, a wonderful text by Ken Hollings, each of the donated “pretty ugly” works, and workshop outcomes from Central Saint Martins’ MA Communication Design students.
If you would like to purchase a copy of our catalogue (£8 plus shipping), send us an e-mail at thisisprettyugly@gmail.com!
… while our colleagues from MACD at Central Saint Martins pay us a visit to make their contributions to the catalogue and exhibition…
… and people are still arranging our “Table of Contents” with the objects that they’ve been bringing from home.

The first day of Pretty—Ugly has come to a close, and the walls of the Gopher Hole are covered with the works of our contributors, and the results of many exciting collaborations.
Tomorrow’s our big day! The exhibition is open all morning, and the lectures / auction kick off at 6:30PM. Please remember that, from 530PM onwards we are charging £3 admission, to help us raise (much needed) funds for our degree show.
Many thanks to those of you who participated in the workshops today. And as for those who will be joining us tomorrow: we look forward to seeing you!
Angela, Catarina, and Diana have created some amazing Pretty—Ugly tote bags, available at the exhibition. Hurry over and get your own, they’re a limited edition of 50!
Live from the Gopher Hole! Ann-Ka and Gareth, hard at work on their responses to the Pretty—Ugly brief at our workshop.
Something amazing arrived in the mail this morning: an art portfolio that M/M (Paris) designed for the Givenchy Haute Couture, Fall-Winter 2010/2011 presentation.
Printed in duotone black & white, white silkscreen, with gold cold foil and black overprint. Stunning!
Many thanks for this, M/M Paris.
