C'mon then, tell us all about it. Mostly photography? What memorabilia? Other special rooms as with Blur:X?

Mostly photographs. But the photography is really good and a lot of the images we are already familiar with. Anyway, they look lovely all blown up and big. The prints are available to buy and depending on the photographer, they are in edition of 15 up to 50.

The also had the boxset on display and then a big room playing the boxset dvds. Made me very tempted to buy the boxset but as I don't want any sort of disc anymore I'm resisting the temptation so far.

If you have an opportunity to get to the exhibition I highly recommend it.

I live in east London and was planning to go today, but I've got too much on. I'll definitely get down there in the next few days, though. What was the price range for the prints? I'd like to buy one or two...

I tweeted a few pics. My handle is 'vernlondon' if you want to see.

I'd be interested to know thw price of the pribts also if anyone knows.

I'm hoping to get there on Saturday, went to blur x back in the day, but this seems more photo based then that was.

Didn't the person who posted say that prints were availible for as little as £15, that's a far more realistic price than the £500 - £1000 for the prints at the Stone Roses exhibition I recently went to in Queensway.

It will vary according to edition number and photographer. In my experience you are looking at a price range of £300-£800.

Anyway, I requested a price list last Friday so should be getting it soon.

There is absolutely no way prints will sell for £15. You must be thinking of the exhibition poster, which is on sale for a fiver.

Perhaps read it wrong, thought this meant £15 - £50 ????

by **damon4president** » Tue Jul 31, 2012 3:50 pm

it means that there are between 15 and 50 copies of each, depending on the photographer

Made it along to the exhibition yesterday during a lovely post-Margate day in London. While it is not as varied or as exciting as Blur:X in 1999, there are still some really interesting images to see. I was the only person in the gallery when I visited so I took the opportunity to snap some pics while I had the chance. So, here are a few of the pics I took of some of the most interesting items. All the photos are displayed in glassed frames, so it's almost impossible to avoid reflection and glare but I have cleaned them up as much as possible in photoshop:

The bill-poster style display outside the Londonewcastle Project Space gallery:

Early band logo mockups and the very first use of the final Blur logo as we know it:

First photo shoot for Food Records:

Early single artwork:

Initial test shoot for Modern Life Is Rubbish:

Early Parklife album concept mockup:

Girls and Boys single artwork with Dave Balfe's hand written notes:

HMV parody illustration created after 1995 Brit Awards success:

Two of Blur's 1995 Brit Awards:

Graham's sketches and final artwork for UTW / The Puritan single:

Blur on Primrose Hill in 2009 at the famous "and the view's so nice" grafitti:

Blur in 2012 (now my new favourite photograph of them):
