DAVE BUONAGUIDI IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA

Dave Buonaguidi

Jealous North

02 Feb 2022 — 27 Feb 2022

A myriad of marvellous works by Dave Buonaguidi will once again be adorning the walls of JEALOUS  this February for an exhibition full to the brim of wonderful maps.

We are delighted to be exhibiting a brand-new series of maps that feature Buonaguidi’s signature typography illuminated with exquisite gold leaf which will dazzle visitors and passers-by. As travel restrictions disappear, Buonaguidi’s maps remind us of the world’s geographical wonders waiting for us. Norway, Italy, South America, even Everest are ALWAYS a good idea, and so is the Real Hackney Dave.
‘Dave Buonaguidi Is Always A Good Idea’ is a solo exhibition of expertly hunted vintage maps of sought-after locations across the globe. Buonaguidi redesigns and recontextualises maps through the use of text overlays of heart-warming (and sometimes crude) phrases. This artist touch gives each work a new chapter of life and significance to its inheritor.
To mark the opening of Buonaguidi’s exhibition at Jealous North, a new print edition will be released dedicated to the local community and faithful clients of Jealous North. The edition ‘Crouch End Is Always A Good Idea’ features a street map of a much-loved pocket of North London overlaid with Buonaguidi quintessential typography in beautiful 23k gold leaf. This new edition will be sure to make everyone know that indeed, ‘Crouch End Is Always A Good Idea’ especially when you’ve paid a visit Jealous.
