Loose Lips Series
Singular:Fissions Exhibition at the Diefenbunker
Carp, Ontario
July-October, 2000
The Loose Lips Series is the first of three series I created for Singular:Fissions, an exhibition in a decommissioned Cold War bunker outside of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on the theme of fear and the Cold War. The series employs 1960's style hard-edge graphics in the creation of faux anti-communist propaganda. Place at crucial junctures in the bunker, the back-lit posters cautioned bunker personnel that enemy spies are lurking. Most visitors took them to be original to the facility.
Each of the posters was housed in a light
box measuring 34" x 27".
