GALLERY TURNS ON AND DROPS OUT.
GALLERY GETS FRESH FOR THE WEEKEND.
MULTI-DIMENSIONAL HOLOGRAPHIC GALLERY.
This issue is mostly unreadable as it is printed in lime green on fuschia pink. The centre pages are a collage of optical illusions, horrific images from the Vietnam war and a cartoon of Alice in Wonderland riding a cross-eyed walrus along Peel beach. It contains interviews with Donovan, Syd Barrett from Pink Floyd and the Bay City Rollers.
Gallery unleashes its inner Loadsamoney with an issue dedicated to dosh, birds and why Maggie Thatcher is number one. Every single person in the magazine (including babies) has a mullet, and the magazine comes with a sample can of hairspray with Fido Dido on it.
Gallery magazine returns to its roots for this one off publication. Re-live the days when human life existed above water and was forced to work for a living with this historical review of Gallery’s illustrious history.
Features: Kung fu fighting - tips on opening your own dojo / twenty different ways to make fondue / banks - there seem to be a lot of them about at the moment / gorgeous polyester fashion shoot / adverts for shag-pile carpets, hula hoops and asbestos sheeting / LSD: we ask all twelve constables whether they’re ready to expand their minds
Features: sushi - yes, it really is raw fish / Ferris Bueller’s Day Trip to the Sound / interview with Pat Sharp, man of the year / report on breakdancing contest / how to install satellite TV and what you can look forward to on all eight channels / mobile phones of the future - one day they’ll fit in your briefcase / walkmans and ghetto blasters reviewed - which does Kajagoogoo sound best on? / Wall Street - why we should base our entire economy on the money-making miracle that can’t possibly go wrong
Once downloaded to your internal data glands, this souvenir issue will then be available to experience as a VR matrix or to home-print in vintage pseudo-paper for those beings who delight in retro-style physical sensations. Readers in cryo tanks and pan-global consciousness farms have the option of experiencing the issue as a concentrated neural burst, and for the first time Gallery will be available as an info-enzyme that can be consumed by octospecies and other cephalopeople. Whatever your means of consuming Gallery, you will be momentarily convinced that you are a vintage, unmodified human being for the duration of the reading experience. Features: virtual tours around the Mars colony / how humankind could have prevented the catastrophe of 2025 / the sixth gender: what you can do to experience it for yourself
