ORIGIN STORY / CHICHESTER
It started with a sign.
AntiRecreation grew out of the Chichester Anti-Recreation Partnership (CARP): a straight-faced one-person campaign using spoof civic signs to raise a smile and make local problems easier to talk about.
What began around Chichester became the visual language behind a wider store devoted to everyday British absurdity.
