About

  • This site provides a daily account of the various projects currently under development at the Sid Lee Collective. A brainchild of Sid Lee, our creative incubator develops, catalyses, promotes and finances various projects that push the notion of Commercial CreativityTM to its limits, and, we hope, beyond.

    We offer bursaries and support to our artisans to make their ideas happen. We also welcome submissions from external collaborators. Contact us to submit a project or learn more about the collective.

    Also visit Conversational Capital, a Sid Lee blog that offers strategic and creative insight on the engineering of word-of-mouth marketing.

Tender 'N Tasty

Webflyer01front
On the 29th of January Sid Lee Collective Amsterdam presents a finger-licking opening of the exhibition by fine artist Joe Holbrook.

What happens at night when everybody is left wandering home? After the clubs have blasted their last basses, after the fried chicken take away's are attacked by hungry hipsters? The city is left with the residue of nightly escapades. .

“I've been noticing every time you get in a bus or tube in London nowadays somebody is eating out of a chicken box. And nobody really sees it, if you know what I mean?”

In the new exhibition Tender 'N Tasty fine artist Joe Holbrook searches for these residues. He finds vultures roaming the streets, deers wondering around town and heaps of empty and half full chicken boxes. In his realistic painting style Joe knows how to capture the energy and dynamics of his spirit of time. For the exhibition Joe created eight new bodies of work, plus 4 framed drawings that have all been created in his London studio. Joe doesn't only observe and document the world that he sees, he lives that world.
