MEGALOMANIA: 33 Years<br />
of Posters made at the<br />
Megalo Print Studio<br />
1980-2013<br />
7 – 23 MARCH<br />
An exhibition and book of posters held in the Megalo<br />
Print Studio archive, from its opening in 1980 <strong>to</strong> the<br />
present day, offers a fascinating insight in<strong>to</strong> the lifestyles<br />
and passions of the <strong>Canberra</strong> community. Megalo was<br />
first housed in a tin shed at Ainslie Village, providing<br />
screen printing services and equipment for artists and<br />
community groups.<br />
The early posters include callouts <strong>to</strong> rallies, promotions<br />
for local theatre, music gigs and exhibitions, political<br />
viewpoints and other clues <strong>to</strong> what was engaging<br />
<strong>Canberra</strong> residents at that particular time. Over the course<br />
of its 33 year his<strong>to</strong>ry, the Megalo archive has grown <strong>to</strong><br />
include over 800 prints.<br />

To celebrate this novel aspect of local heritage, Megalo<br />
will exhibit some of the best posters in its archive and<br />
will also launch the accompanying book Megalomania: 33<br />
Years of Posters Made at Megalo Print Studio, comprised<br />
of delightful pictures, insightful essays and plenty of<br />
laughs.<br />
