Flying Over England

<h2>In the late 1980s and early 90s Mike Pendegast spent seven years travelling up and down the country to different raves, clubs and similar events,&nbsp;collecting all the flyers of those events along the way.</h2> <p>Across this book Mike documents an incredible generational movement that still carries so much weight even to this day.</p> <p>Mike goes on to show us that such powerful&nbsp;memories can never be buried or discarded, and flyers&nbsp;are an artistic history of the subculture. This was a scene that sprang from austerity into an underground, an anti-establishment movement that must be recorded as a significant era that, some may argue, altered the course of history.</p> <p>1991&ndash;93 was the golden age of rave art with flyers developing from photocopied, black and white scribbles of the late 80s to highly elaborate works of illustration.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/560162/reach_n-1544807754.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p><a href="http://www.flyingoverengland.co.uk" target="_blank">http://www.flyingoverengland.co.uk</a></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/560163/new_dimension_n-1544807777.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p><a href="https://mixmag.net/feature/this-book-contains-all-your-favourite-rave-flyers-from-the-90s">https://mixmag.net/feature/this-book-contains-all-your-favourite-rave-flyers-from-the-90s</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.thewire.co.uk/galleries/rave-flyers-1991-1993" target="_blank">https://www.thewire.co.uk/galleries/rave-flyers-1991-1993</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>This project will be released in limited edition of 500 copies :</h2> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/560708/RAVE_COVER-BOOKS_PRES-1545128107.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <h3>- Book 1 will be&nbsp; over 150 pages of flyers.</h3> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/560709/RAVE_BOOK-FLYERX3-1545128132.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/560572/RAVE_BOOK-FLYER_INT_2-1545053412.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <h3>- Book 2 the story behind the era as lived through Mike&#39;s experiences.</h3> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/560710/RAVE_COVER_BOOKTEXT_2-1545128152.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/560553/RAVE_BOOK-TEXTE-INTERIEUR-1545049851.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Team behind the project</h2> <h3>Mike Pendegast</h3> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/561084/RAVE_PORTRAITS_3-1545309100.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>BA(Hons) Music Performance, graduating with 1st class honours.
