ALINE 117 an exhibition by ANNA BRUDER

ALine 117 by Anna Bruder
  
From Dalston Superstore:
Anna Bruder’s ALine 117 exhibition will take you back to a childlike state of mind by transforming the original interior into
a solely black and white illustrated world.
Thick black marker pen out lines, set against a white backdrop, illustrates Anna’s world of naïve yet humorous and clever representation of domesticity and every day life.
A playful environment is created reminiscent of simplistic youth.

A contemporary pop artist, with touches of the graffiti and graphic image likened to Keith Haring and Jean Paul Basquiat, Bruder utilises her experience and great skill in set design and prop-making to create an enchanting and charismatic world.

ALine 117 is the first exhibition of this series of works from Bruder, her intent is to develop her ‘world’ in any given context, whether it be a gallery, an old bus or a school in Zambia. The 2D monochromatic adventure begins!

“Welcome to our Kingdom; sit on the throne of my dreams and be my King''.

''I will show you our territory, walk you through our empire and expose our possessions.
This is our kingdom: our realm of action and control. Our beliefs, our obsessions, our
thoughts, our way...”
MMU signifies a higher consciousness of love and enlightenment, adverse to status and
materialistic values. Stay true to yourself, embrace your passions, don't judge and don't
question yourself. Learn from tragedies, accept torment and embrace enchantment. We
open our minds to all new experiences, and to generate our dreams into existence.

MMU stands for an awareness and understanding of bringing artists together with the
vision to amalgamate our passions and fantasies. We believe in alchemy, we believe in
altruism and we believe in making art to teach and to cultivate freedom of expression.
We represent our childhood dreams; finding yourself with open hearts and minds through
new unworldly magical experiences. We are MMU.
Our mission is to bring people together, to nourish their potential and to set themselves
free.

‘Note from the Dalston Superstore curatorial team’
‘Kingdom’ is the debut exhibition from MMU, a collective of artists from many different
backgrounds, ranging from illustration, installation, fashion, photography, sculpture,
painting and styling, collating to produce works under the concept that is Kingdom.

of looking creatively at the world, raising awareness for an alternative path to future
utopian hopes.
