Here’s some info about the ‘Forward’ mural that adorns the building next to the Heath Mill Lane car park in Digbeth:
The wall has been painted as part of an exhibition we are putting on. We have invaded B.J. Components a small factory that produces hand made parts for classic motorcycles, we have used materials provided by them and have created 1 piece each based on the theme of Birminghams industry, typography and product design. These pieces have then been donated to and displayed within B.J. Components (the show has no commercial value at all)
Which is modest of them. ‘Them’ being Newso, Juice 126 and Zoot (whose photo it is).
The exhibition was called Forward and was at the Wild Building from 5-8 November (flyer here) but the mural remains.
(Hat-tip – hmm, I can’t remember where I saw this first now, so I’ll credit Brumblr)
Hip hip… hooray!
Yep, on 1 December 2006 Pete Ashton posted an interview with Rob Youngson, little suspecting (presumably) what the website would become.
We’re not having a party (actually tonight we’ll be out celebrating Capsule’s 10th birthday) but if you can make it down, please say hello at the Kings Heath Big Party on Saturday where CiB will be running the mulled wine stall from about 10am-6pm.
Here’s to another few years, eh?
