Upstart bring creativity to election

Election posters aren't normally the most inspiring of communications: logo, candidates mug shot and 'VOTE No.1' in a large ugly font. But a team of artists and writers calling themselves 'Upstart' are planning to bring some creativity and ingenuity into the medium over the course of the current campaign.

They plan to achieve this by reinterpreting the spaces commonly used for displaying election campaign posters in Dublin City and are calling on all artists to submit work for this exhibition.

Upstart's aim is to receive 500 submissions from writers and visual artists, photographers, painters and graphic designers and these works will be duplicated and 1000 pieces will be printed as election size posters and be erected throughout Dublin city.

This year's lamposts have the potential to be a little more thought provoking than usual and hopefully a little less of an eyesore.
