Omnibus in Clapham Common is a community arts centre that has been set up after many years of hard work by local residents. Taking over the space of the old library building a dedicated team has been working to redecorate and re imagine the space to create a dedicated theatrical, musical and visual arts centre for the local area. We first got involved in the project when local resident and artist, Philip O'Reilly, approached us to provide material for window graphics he designed for the building. Yesterday Cllr Mark Bennett, Mayor of Lambeth, handed over the keys to the old library and officially opened the building to the public in it's new incarnation.

Torpedo, nominated distributor for Innova Art in France took a stand at Salon de la Photo in Paris which they shared with online retailer Jimag’in. With an expected 90,000 visitors over 5 days the show was set to be one of the biggest ever and the team on the Innova stand was not disappointed. One of the main attractions to the space was the ever evolving display of images; Torpedo commissioned the work of highly skilled photographers and featured each one on the stand by changing the display at 12.00 each day. Hervé Letellier, sales agent for Innova Art, commented that there was a huge rise in interest in printing images at the show this year, with visitors less inclined to keep their pictures stored on computer hard drives, many were looking for interesting and innovative ways to display their photographs.
