Saw this mentioned on another mailing list:
Ex-KLF man, Bill Drummonds latest project involves a silent anti-war campaign. Packs of 'Silent Protest' playing cards, being produced by Penkiln-Burn - his publishing outlet of, are now available in selected bookshops across London. Drummonds initial plans to be silent for year were rejected in favour of the more manageable task of being silent for a day, supported by a visual aid explaining your protest hence the idea of producing a pack of 52 playing cards featuring 52 short statements, questions or single useful words instead of the normal suits. Drummond is doing a special presentation to an invited audience at the Marx Memorial Library in London, Oct 29. There will be a further presentation at The Foundry, on Londons Great Eastern Street, after which artist Tracey Sanders-Wood will release 1000 helium filled balloons. Attached to each balloon will be a randomly selected card from a pack of Silent Protest. Anyone who retrieves one of the balloons and returns the card will be sent a complete pack
In a statement Drummond said, The world seems to want to go to war. I don't want it to. I might not be able to manage more than a day of silence but if I got these Silent Protest cards printed up and distributed to bookshops, maybe other people would do days of Silent Protest which would soon mount up way past the 365 days that I originally envisaged.
To attend Bill Drummond's Silent Protest presentation on Oct 29 at the Marx Memorial Library in Clerkenwell, email silentprotest@penkiln-burn.com with your name and postal address. 50 randomly selected people will receive an invitation.
