Page 1 of the 4 page project

When invited to contribute to the debut issue of the new art magazine Victoria - a free broadsheet of contemporary art, Iain and Jane produced a truly topical and accessible photographic project. A four page, centre spread 'pull-out', featuring an Oasis tribute band - Oasisn't. The issue was launched and widely distributed at a time when every mainstream magazine and newspaper was filled with images of 'The Gallaghers'. Iain and Jane arranged a 'special' acoustic set from the fake Liam and Noel at the launch party for the magazine at the Groucho Club. The band were then whisked away in the back of a black cab to be interviewed by The Sun!
