New Rule Collective presents Come Out To Play, an illustrated tribute to 1979 movie classic,The Warriors!
Thirty five years ago this week saw the release of the heroic tale, following the outfit from Coney Island as they battled their way through 27 miles of enemy territory. Focusing on the array of street gangs that the Warriors must encounter, and fend off on their journey back to Coney, we have assembled 24 outstanding artists to take you on an illustrative adventure into New York’s toughest and most feared gangs! From The Hi-Hats, The Baseball Furies, The Electric Eliminators to The Turnbull AC’s! Each participant has been assigned their own individual gang, to draw inspiration and create their personal interpretation.
The exhibition will be a platform to display all the illustrated work, along with additional physical pieces designed by the artists, ranging from original paintings, sculptures, screen prints, t-shirts and taxidermy. All of which will be on sale exclusively at the exhibition.
All of the work from the exhibition will also be compiled and published in an A5, perfect bound book, the first 100 of which will be a hand numbered, limited edition. The book will be sold as part of the exhibition, but we currently have pre-orders up on sale at Kickstarter
