Cat and/or art lovers who live in London, or plan to visit, may want to check out LOLCat Teh Exhibishun (not a typo – that’s how it is spelled), which is open now until February 15 at The Framers Gallery. The event was put together by Soapbox & Sons.
“This is the LOLCat Exhibition, which is all based around the notorious Internet meme, LOLCat,” curator Jenny Theolin told the BBC. “I started off on Twitter. I Tweeted out as a curator,” Jenny Theolin and low and behold, they all pounced on the idea and it was amazing.
“[The exhibition] includes typographers, poets, photographers, you name it, we’ve got it.”
Forty-nine exhibitors have their work on display; 50 percent of the proceeds go to the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.
