Top Deck
This Thursday, 12th January, will be the launch of Top Deck which is a collaboration between photographers Will Robson-Scott and James Pearson-Howes. The collaboration is in conjunction with Utile and Mother London.
“Top Deck, is a series of images made over the course of two years on the top decks of east London buses giving a new a perspective on the monotony of the every day commute. The work will result in a newspaper publication and a two-week show at renowned advertising agency, Mother.
Foreword for the publication is written by journalist Justin Quirk, who writes for the Guardian and is the editor of HOUSE magazine. Here is a little excerpt:
In popular myth, Margaret Thatcher reportedly said that any man
still travelling by bus after the age of 30 could consider himself a
failure. The quote is almost certainly apocryphal, but it stuck in
the public consciousness because it sounded like the kind of thing
that an arch-conservative would say; cars were the preserve of the
rich and successful, whereas buses were how the poor, the failed
and the antisocial travelled around the city. If there’s any truth in
that distinction, then it damns an awful lot of people in London.

The publication, which is a limited addition off 500 copies, will be on sale here, http://topdeck.
PETRO & EGS: T.F.W.M.D.
Petro & Egs have a show at the MAKE YOUR MARK GALLERY in Helsinki which opens tonight, 3rd June, and will run until the 30th June.
For over 2 decades, both Petro & Egs have been a strong influence within graffiti and continue to have a unique, distinct style which grows stronger over time. Expect solid works from both these artists at this gallery show.
Kind Regards still has a very small selection of zines and prints available from a show we did with Petro back in February 2010.
Please contact us at: wearekindregards@gmail.com for further info.

A nice selection of images can also be found over at GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS
Gone Wandering
Kind Regards is proud to present “Gone Wandering”
Paul Klee, famously, said, “A line is a dot that went for a walk….”
”Gone Wandering” is a collaborative project that presents free-transformation of found material
into a ‘three-dimensional drawing’, to be experienced both mentally and physically.
Through collaborating the artists attempt to push and pull the wandering line into unforeseen territories.

Big Mother Earth
Kind Regards presents Big Mother Earth a group show with work from Arnar Ásgeirsson, Styrmir Örn Guðmundsson
and Jan s. Hansen.
Ásgeirsson and Guðmundsson are currently undertaking a Masters Degree at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam,
while Hansen is graduating from a Masters degree at the Royal Danish Art Academy in Copenhagen.
For this exhibition, the Danish and Icelandic cultures will come together in a collaborative yet individual way.
A series of drawings, sculptures and video installations will give the viewer a unique experiencerepresentative of the 3 artists.
The work will make reference to fairytales and sagas but will also deal with morality and dualism.
Although the work presented by each artist will be unique in its own right, showcasing them together will be
both complimentary and interesting as a whole.
There will also be a publication made which will be released during the exhibition.
