Step into almost any central London phone box and you can contemplate up to 80 cards inviting you to be tied, teased, spanked or massaged.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Even if a police crackdown, the internet and the increasing use of mobile phones suggest their days are numbered, tart cards are still so pervasive they are now regarded as items of accidental art and have something of a cult following. Once on the periphery of design, tart cards have influenced the work of many mainstream artists such as Royal Academician Tom Phillips and Sex Pistols designer Ray and Nils Stevenson.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">In conjunction with </span><a href="http://www.stbride.org/" style="font-style: italic;">St Bride Library </a><span style="font-style: italic;">and </span><a href="http://www.uktype.com/index.php?home" style="font-style: italic;">Type</a><span style="font-style: italic;">, Wallpaper asked designers – from students to superstars – to find the tart hiding in every type and create their own graphic numbers.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">The cards will also be on show at KK Outlet*, London, from 22 June. The over 400 cards will include designs by Erik Kessels, Anthony Burrill, Neville Brody, NB:Studio, Spin, Value and Service, Fernando Gutiérrez, Ian Wright and Noma Bar.</span></span><br /><br />Below is the invite to the show:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOYd-QT4LdP7DMH2qQbUCRUx8E_vDQZW-uZZtVMvYxUJxROqagnwUm59yaDl5mPR4E4uHdZO_Hktb9RpxerNmUsMAz7liGTYc7d1ZHDvTQ-HcdacBC2XgMDO-LEcl9lkNyVC9_-3tK9lR2/s1600-h/Picture+52.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346910540637844530" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOYd-QT4LdP7DMH2qQbUCRUx8E_vDQZW-uZZtVMvYxUJxROqagnwUm59yaDl5mPR4E4uHdZO_Hktb9RpxerNmUsMAz7liGTYc7d1ZHDvTQ-HcdacBC2XgMDO-LEcl9lkNyVC9_-3tK9lR2/s400/Picture+52.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 527px; height: 742px;" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">In among this plethora of brilliant, witty graphic designs we would like to highlight the serious issue that lies at the heart of the world of tart cards – the plight of trafficked women in the sex industry. </span><a href="http://www.wallpaper.com/art/a-response-from-mike-dempsey/3451" style="font-style: italic;">It is a subject touched eloquently on by Mike Dempsey of Studio Dempsey,</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> who is a volunteer at the Helen Bamber Foundation which helps rebuild lives broken by human rights violations. While our exhibition is an ode to the graphic qualities of the tart card phenomena, Dempsey's design is a pertinent reminder of the sinister world that lies beneath every card.</span></span><br />--Wallpaper Magazine<br /><br /><a href="http://www.kkoutlet.com/">*KKOutlet</a> is a shop, gallery and communications agency. It specializes in making, presenting and selling innovative communication solutions. It is the London office of Amsterdam communications agency, KesselsKramer. The exhibition runs from 22- 29 June 2009<br /><br /><a href="http://www.wallpaper.com/sex-issue/tart-cards">See all 450 cards here.</a>
