The Second Annual 100 Rand Show
Sunday 12 November - Saturday 2nd December

The Bin presents the second annual 100 Rand show.

The Show provides a platform for new, up-and-coming and established graphic designers; graffiti and street artists, illustrators and fine artists to work within the limitations of producing work of a high quality yet knowingly retail it for a minimal amount.

The One Hundred rand concept aims at introducing and building the culture of collecting and buying artworks amongst the young art market, which is traditionally overlooked by regular gallery structures.

The first annual 100 rand show was held on the 11th of December 2005. It included work by Nigel Moore, Warren Lewis, Toe, Mak1one & many others and within 2 hours of opening over 90 works had been sold. The show eventually closed as a sell-out.

This year we've extended the artist bill from 10 contributing artists to 16 - 15 listed below + 2 Surprise artists to be discovered at the show's opening on the 12th November.

Senyol
Fortune
Motel 7
Daniel Ting Chong
Justin
Theory One
Loveme
Matchstick
Quanig
MilkitostMOOREDESIGN.CC
COEONE
Haasbroek
Willem Samuel
Kronk

All works purchased are available at the end of the opening day and directly after purchase on the remaining days of the exhibition. This defies the traditional gallery format of waiting till the show has been completed and then allowing purchased works to be claimed.

In addition to the many features of this exciting show The Bin will also be donating R5.00 from every single purchase to The Nazareth house. This is the first exhibition at which our new initiative will be in place.

It is the responsibility of those in a better position to aid in the upliftment of our surroundings. In a developing country where we are confronted with starvation, lack of basic education, high crime and pandemic deceases such as Tuberculosis and HIV Aids, The Bin has decided to become part of the solution. Working together towards narrowing the divide rather than extending it through the continuous blind-eye we turn to the desolation that surrounds us.

Our First organization - The Nazareth House, located in Vredehoek, is a haven for aids babies. Many who have suffered the indescribable loss of both parents. It is our hope that the small donation we'll be able to offer, and the minimal awareness for this cause created through our interaction with the public, will assist in some way.

Los Cojones Del Perro!


Los Cojones Del Perro is a new Cape Town lifestyle label with plenty of balls and a strict anti-sheep mentality. The brand is owned and run by the elusive Mickey Munden, a rather dapper French Bulldog (who you may have seen gracing the lamp posts of Cape Town in an unfortunately unsuccessful attempt to be elected mayor). To own one of the labels highly sought after t-shirts and bags is to own a little bit of Mickey’s unique charisma and charm. Describing himself as a dedicated humanitarian, Mickey has sought, through his imprint Los Cojones Del Perro, to bring a bit of doggy style to the more discerning international fashionista. Every one of his tees is totally one off and unique thanks to the women in the Cape Town townships that customize each and every garment...putting a little bit of them into the tee and bringing them to life!

Fashion is just the start: plans are afoot for a Mickey Munden wine, a diffusion line for puppies and a budget airline. More information is available at www.loscojones.co.za

We've got loads of Los Cojones goods now available on the online store.

We've been doing very regular updates of the online store - loading fresh products and improving the functionality and...
