Pick Me Up 2012


The third edition of Pick Me Up, the always-anticipated graphic arts fair, opened at Somerset House last week.  

The PMU selection exhibition is back, introducing 20 of the best emerging practitioners working all over the world, from Whitley Bay to Queensland.

PMU is also hosting a fine cohort of collectives, with literary treats from the likes of Nobrow and Cachetejack, and galleries including SOMA and Ship of Fools setting up shop.

This year’s studio residents are the multifarious Peepshow Collective who have established their Museum of Objects & Origins; a collection of objects, prints and drawings from a bizarre invented past.

There’s also a jam-packed programme of residencies, events, screenings and workshops.

There’s still a chance to catch the show tomorrow.  But if you can’t make it, we’ve been along and gathered some of our favourites for you...
