The schedule has been back to back with The Connor Brothers all year and doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon. Their controversial #Refuchic campaign is in full swing across the globe, landing recently in Australia after smashing it in London and Berlin a few weeks ago. With all this in mind, we are extremely excited to bring you the brand new works from The Connor Brothers, exclusive to Hang-Up Gallery for a limited time only!

It all started with a short documentary film about a guerilla ad-removing campaign. The Connor Brothers placed their own fake Vogue/Condé Nast covers into original ad billboards and filmed the reactions of the public. Having these horrifying images of
refugees merging into renowned fashion magazines and portraying them like models with the hashtag #refuchic made the public think how shocking the
balance is, obsessing with what celebrities do instead of helping people in desperate need.
Hang-Up Gallery has exclusive access to this short 5-minute film about the project which has generated a huge buzz by filmmaker, Darcy Thomas for Acme Films.
The 25th of May saw London duo The Connor Brothers opening their exclusive show of 'Labyrinth Of Lies' at Willner Brewery in Berlin. Check out what went down on the evening:

"Our artworks are not really about giving an answer or asking a question, they're more about asking the people seeing the art to question themselves". Mike Snelle from The Connor Brothers
The duo has created a politically motivating series of adapted glossy magazine covers. They recreated a cover of Conde Nast's Traveller magazine, depicting the Syrian refugee crisis accompanied with dark ominous texts. These were showcased in their 'Labyrinth Of Lies' exhibition.
In true Connor Brothers style, they have been working tirelessly on exciting new artworks, cultivating from their 'Labyrinth Of Lies' exhibition as well as their current third solo show in Sydney, Australia.
The London duo just opened their show in Sydney and for the past few months they've been raising awareness around the world with their latest refugee campaign, '#REFUCHIC'.

With the duo's third solo show in Sydney, the billboards are seen all around the city, ridiculing celebrity culture and lack of humanity.
