SWINDLE is a new piece of work for 2012 by Redhawk Logistica that is brought to life by its context and through interaction with people. SWINDLE and the punk art collective MSFAC have recently completed a residency at Edible Eastside.
The project features lettering inspired by typography from the graphic designer Jamie Reid, who created iconic artwork for the Sex Pistols. A low-tech approach was employed to make the 3-D letters using cardboard, papier mache and paint.
This summer, SWINDLE spent a day in Digbeth at the Warwick Bar Fete, which generated photos picturing people and the letters, re-arranged in any way they wanted. Last week, Redhawk Logistica took some photos at Eastside Green with art collective MSFAC and SWINDLE, the results of which can be seen below.
The quickly evolving skyline tells its own story, from contemporary high rise to heritage buildings under a brooding sky. The white line of hoardings reflects the themes of boundaries and occupation that MSFAC have been concerned with during their residency at Edible Eastside, where this photo has been turned into a large paste-up on the side of a shipping container.

Jayne and the team at Edible Eastside recently enjoyed some fame appearing in the Birmingham Post.
Restaurant critic Richard McComb visited Edible Eastside at Warwick Bar, and sampled some the cafe delights cooked up using fresh produce grown mere metres away.
A fantastic project, Edible Eastside are partners of Digbeth Residents Association, and are continuing the area’s rich food heritage. The banana warehouse, which once stored fruits imported from the Caribbean, the old 1930s’ Typhoo tea factory, and the Custard Factory, which once produced Bird’s Custard are all on our doorstep. The Bond, also used to be a bonded warehouse and housed an ice house; Italian ice-cream makers used to cycle along Fazeley Street, delivering their sweet treats to the city centre.

Regular readers of our site will already know of Edible Eastside, and the fact that the organisation has entered into a strategic partnership with Digbeth Residents Association.
Edible Eastside is an urban garden situated on a derelict industrial canal side space, which has been transformed into a temporary garden, run as a social enterprise by a team of volunteers.
Edible Eastside will rent plots to people and restaurants, run a café using the food grown, offer training courses and sell produce. The space was developed with Digbeth-based designers, k4 Architects, who are the masterplanners for the Warwick Bar area, where the garden is situated.
The landlord, ISIS Waterside Regeneration, offered the space at a peppercorn rent, and “are extremely excited to be setting in motion projects which will breathe life back into the area.”
Add in a tie-up with Fierce Festival, who will be running a performance installation at the site, and you have yourself a veritable community hub just waiting to be launched!
We strongly encourage anyone with an interest in Digbeth to come along to the launch of this fantastic new project on Sunday – here’s hoping the sun is still shining for the BBQ!
