This globe-trotting exhibition of anti-war (and pro-peace) posters descends upon London for its UK debut at the Foundry. What began as a collection of 14 graphic protests prior to the invasion of Iraq has burgeoned into a full-scale catalog with handmade prints from more than 130 artists. Imagery ranges from political satire — such as project founder John Carr's The Monster, which depicts Bush and Cheney astride Halliburton's metal monster — to lyrical simplicity, as in Christopher Ryan's reworking of a broken arrow in Power to the Peaceful. The show also includes new work by Robert Del Naja, Winston Smith and Gee Vaucher.
