Maurice Einhardt Neu Gallery. A fine-sounding name for a gallery. In Paris, perhaps. One of those places where you're offered a glass of champagne the minute you walk in. Not the dirty little screen printing workshop I found. But that's what Maurice Einhard Neu Gallery is, at least as long as it's part of the London Design Festival. Correction: part of the Anti Design Festival. The ADF introduces this under the heading of events / shows as "daily poster print and installation". To me, it's just a workshop. But I mean that in a good way.

I've just been to the London Newcastle Project Space, the ADF's main venue located right next door. So I've had quite a lot of so-called 'Anti Design' already. The term defies me. Is it supposed to mean something like non-commercial spur-of-the-moment-design? Rebellious, unpredictable? Free? Chaos is a must - This much I know, after all those messy installations and cluttered walls at the London Newcastle Project Space. It feels forced and disorganised in a studious way, though, at least at the main venue. At the Maurice Einhard Neu Gallery, it makes perfect sense. Fresh prints are drying on a clothes line, squeegees, damp cloths, pencils and sketchpads are lying about. The ale-bench and table that fill the last bit of room in between a flat-bed press and exposure unit are blotted with paint. Rough black line drawings on smudgy tracing paper are spread all over the place.

The ADF guide announces that everyone can 'come and contribute'. I look at the drawings and prints, at finished posters and work in progress. They don't look as if passersby meddled in here at all. No goldfish mixed in, no doodles in the corners. No flowers and stars. The style is raw, progressive, non-commercial. But not un-professional. Rather perfectly punky. I ask, and find out that interventions from visitors do not really go beyond moving mesh and squeegee, that it's actually Harry Malt and his Bare Bones Collective art-working in this likeable mess, producing at least one poster a day.

In the end, all prints will be exhibited, as part of the show 'Uber Collision: Epic Fail', at the Idea Generation Gallery just across the road, alongside other works by the artist collective Le Gun, illustrators Harry Malt, Kate Merry, Chris Bianchi, and many more.

Is that Anti Design? Rebellion? Punk? Whatever it is, it's nice!
