Loud Flash was an exhibition of Punk posters from the start of the punk revolution in 1977, incidentally this coincided with the Queen's Jubilee.
After compiling a 'checklist of punk' using the posters on show as sources I felt there was definitely something very 'un-punk' about the exhibition- each poster encased in a plastic wallet arranged in fairly neat rows in a crisp white space. I think the show would have had much more impact viewed in the dingey basement of an old pub or in a derelict factory... but it was interesting to see the rebellion smothered in this space.
