Placards used at the big TUC anti-cuts demonstration last March are to go on display at Turner Contemporary from Saturday 17 September but organisers have a small problem: they don't know who made them all.
Guy Atkins was one of the team from Goldsmiths, University of London, which helped organise the Save Our Placards project (I wrote about it here) when 50,000 people marched through London, protesting at government spending cuts.
Hundreds of placards were left at the project tree in Hyde Park and 12 of them will go on display as part of the Nothing in the World But Youth at the exhibition in Margate.
Atkins told me: "We're trying to track down their creators to tell them about the Turner show and tell their stories of the demo and life since. So far we've got 6 out of the 12."
So if you created this placard of George Osborne as Edward Scissorhands then first of all, congratulations. Second of all get in touch at saveourplacards@gmail.com or through Facebook.
The Margate exhibition looks well worth a visit in any event with more than 200 works exploring the excitement and creativity of youth. But one of you people out there could have created an exhibit which is going on display alongside works by Henry Moore, Peter Blake, Sarah Lucas, David Hockney, Andy Warhol, Mark Leckey and a young JMW Turner no less.
