Formed in 2000, visual design agency Neasden Control Centre work for anyone bright and daring enough to hire them - art galleries, ad agencies, book publishers, bars, clubs, charities, design agencies, shops, musicians and magazines. Their commissions have included Esquire, Big Issue, 4AD and MTV. Named after their headquarters, a rented idyll just beyond the green belt, Neasden are a true collective, each member adding a little something to their designs.

Easily on par with the likes of Silex, this group of young British illustrators has a sixth sense for space and distribution: with the eye of a child and skill of a master they mix a healthy, irreverent punk spirit with extremely skilful, cutting edge techniques in their risky brew of drawing, graphic design, art and advertising.

Neasden have gone underground for almost a year, not going, not seeing friends, not doing anything but focussing on their book project. A bomb of creative activity. Split into twelve distinct chapters based on a different part of the body, the book will include a selection of works by all Neasden artists in their distinct, edgy hand-drawn style, through a variety of mediums including photography, writing and found-objects.

The exhibition at Magma Clerkenwell will feature large collection of their previous work (posters, paintings, 3-D objects & models, objects, notebooks, etc) plus new pieces created exclusively for the show. Check out Übersee 1 and www.neasdencontrolcentre.com for further examples of their work as well a huge A-Z of influences - including yellow Labradors and Swiss girls.
