Information

This poster accompanied an exhibition of buttons and pins (enamels in the UK) covering the diverse and historical scope of badges at the Midland Group (Arts Centre) Nottinghan in 1979. A UK (and maybe a World) first. 

The exhibition poster was designed by Brian Love, a collector and contributor, and the exhibition was organised by Vinny Cleary, another collector and contributor. 

Many other individuals loaned items as did a number of badge companies including Tantra, Fattorini and Better Badges. 

It was comprehensive and fun.

Additional Information

ERP, or Enterprise Resource Planning, refers to a software system that helps businesses manage their most essential operations, such as supply chain management and payroll. ERP began as a manual process, but entered the digital realm in the 1960s, coinciding with broader computer usage in homes and offices. SSDT stands for SQL (Structured Query Language) Server Data Tools, which help manage databases.

Although partially obscured by the model, this button says “PINUPS” across the background. Pinups is a queer zine published by New York-based photographer Christopher Schulz. Each issue is printed in monochrome and features one or two models, usually hirsute and full built men in their twenties. A Pinups design feature is that each issue can be unstapled and the pages tiled to make a wall poster. This pin shows one of the models from Pinups No. 8, published in 2009.
