Last year the Manifesto Club ran Attention Please, an online photo album which captured the unnecessary, absurd and patronising safety warnings in public space. We asked our members and supporters to send examples of the kinds of ludicrous signage we all encounter in our everyday lives. By turning our cameras on questionable safety warnings, we began to reveal the extent to which safety regulations affect the look and feel of public space around the world.

We are delighted to now bring a selection of those contributions together in published form. Attention Please will be launched at a Club Night on 2 July. Project convenor and author Tom Mower will introduce the project and a selection of submissions. He will be joined by other speakers to reflect upon the regulation of public space, and what we can do about it.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase. You can also buy Attention Please online, with a credit or debit card.

Speakers:
Tom Mower, author of the Attention Please project, and one third of the design practice St. Pierre & Miquelon
Clare Cumberlidge, founding director of General Public Agency
Tim Abrahams, associate editor, Blueprint magazine
Dolan Cummings, co-founder, Manifesto Club
