"Return to Normal."
“The police post themselves at the School of Fine Arts – the Fine Arts’ students poster the streets.”
“Popular power.” The initials of France’s political parties are on the columns of the French parliament.
Street Posters of the Paris Rebellion is the name of a new exhibition opening tomorrow at the Haywood Project Space in Southbank Centre, London. Curated by Johan Kugelberg (who includes 46 posters from his personal collection), the show is a visual record of a moment in French history when frustration over poverty, unemployment, and de Gaulle's conservative rule led to a mass movement for social change. You can view a gallery of selected posters here. Via Creative Review, which has an excellent outline of the rebellion, plus an interview with Kugelberg, here.

I nearly died when I got their e-mail yesterday. I just recently bought two prints from them (they're at the framers), so I'm reluctantly practicing restraint...
I like the third poster a lot. Thanks for the inspiration.
I love these, is it possible to get reproductions of them?
There's a limited edition (only 68 copies!) poster book that's been published to coincide with the show -- more info is here:

It's only available in the UK, though ....
