Lunchtime_revolution

We’ve had a call from the British Museum.

They’re planning to feature our Lunchtime Revolution campaign for Pizza Hut in one of their exhibitions. I think that’s a first for us.

They’re looking at Chinese revolutionary art through the decades and how in the 80’s, 90’s and 00’s it’s had the political sting taken out of it and artists and even big brands are now being inspired by it. The curator told us:

The appropriation of revolutionary imagery by such a ‘Western’ global organisation like Pizza Hut is quite striking – it mirrors the ‘Great Criticism’ works by Chinese artist Wang Guangyi (who juxtaposed images from Chinese propaganda posters with Coca Cola, Nikon and other big brand names).’
