| Remarks | THE NUCLEAR POSTERS contains 17 intelligent, provocative and affecting political posters within one beautiful publication. Breakdown Press has published this powerful collection of posters by artists, designers and writers breaking down the nuclear industry in Australia and celebrating creative dissent. Published at a time when the Howard-led Liberal Government was taking Australia down the nuclear path with the pedal to the metal in the lead-up to the 2007 Federal Election, THE NUCLEAR POSTERS brought together the work of committed artists and campaigners to spark debate about the role of the nuclear cycle in Australia. The posters chosen for this publication build on the history of the political poster movement and act as an oppositional force to this vicious nuclear cycle. ARTISTS: Aris Prabawa | Arlene TextaQueen | Benny Zable | Bretton Bartleet | Deborah Kelly | Graeme Dunstan | Jessie Boylan | Josh MacPhee | Kevin Buzzacott | Lou Smith | Mathew Kneebone | MITCH | Peter Kneebone | Rodney Dekker | Rose Turtle Ertler | Russell Kerr | Simon Bent | Tim Growcott | Tom Civil | Van Thanh Rudd Breakdown Press in conjunction with JBSeed (John Butler’s philanthropic arts fund) chose two posters from The Nuclear Posters for an oversized A0 rock poster campaign in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide in the lead-up to the Federal Election. |
