Art Posters
Eva Merz (New Social Art School) distributes free art posters in order to promote a project about women in prison. The poster features a reproduction of the picture: The Hopeless (Situation) - Girl in suicide outfit being restricted by prison wardens, painted by Eva Merz after a film-still from a BBC documentary shot in Scotland’s only women’s prison. The posters were initially printed for the exhibition What are they doing in there? (SWG3, Glasgow, June 09) - the first manifestation of a long-term project about women in prison and the criminal justice system.
New Social Art School is a socially engaged, politically inspired collaborative arts project, producing books, posters, stickers, video, public art and events.
