October 16, 201213 yr Mylo Xyloto artwork exhibition for Kids Company 16 October 2012 12:00 pm Original work by Coldplay and Paris to be sold in aid of charity Coldplay and Paris are pleased to announce an exhibition of original Mylo Xyloto artwork to raise funds for Kids Company. The exhibition will run from 29 November to 2 December at Proud Galleries in Camden, London. The show will feature three original paintings on canvas by Coldplay and the band's Mylo Xyloto artwork collaborator Paris, as well as the original 7m X 2.5m graffiti wall that became the album artwork. A second wall painted by children from Kids Company and Paris will be displayed alongside Coldplay’s larger wall. Also at the exhibition will be three high-quality prints of the Mylo Xyloto album artwork (each a limited edition of 8 and signed by the band); three high-quality album artwork prints (each a limited edition of 650 and signed by Paris); and unseen photographs from the Mylo Xyloto world tour taken by Roadie #42. These prints have been produced by Album Artists. All of the work is for sale - both at the exhibition and online at Album Artists' website - with 100% of the proceeds going to Kids Company, a children’s charity which reaches out to over 17,000 vulnerable young people in the most deprived areas of London. Said Chris Martin: “Kids Company is a phenomenal organisation that is very close to our hearts. While we were making the last album we did quite a lot of painting with our friend Paris. We built a special wall in our studio and sprayed it, wrote on it and threw things at it until it eventually became the artwork for Mylo Xyloto. This exhibition will be the first time that the wall has appeared in public." Will Champion added: “The big wall and the three paintings are all one-off Coldplay/Paris originals. The money raised will make a big difference to some of London’s most vulnerable children.” Camila Batmanghelidjh, Kids Company founder / CEO, said: “The support Coldplay have given us over the years has been amazing. Art plays a major role in Kids Company’s work with vulnerable children: kids who have experienced trauma often find it easier to express themselves using art materials rather than words. Our recent award-winning exhibition in partnership with the Royal Academy demonstrated this very powerfully and poignantly.” The Mylo Xyloto exhibition will take place at Proud Galleries, The Horse Hospital, Stables Market, Chalk Farm Road, London NW1 8AH. Entry is free and it will be open from 11am to 5pm each day. For the full list of available works, click here. Anchorman

October 16, 201213 yr Author Coldplay for Kids Company We met Coldplay backstage at the MTV Awards and showed them the print project for The Killers, suggesting they do the same with Mylo Xyloto. Coldplay agreed, on the basis that the project was run 100% for their favourite charity Kids Company. With our colleagues at Art4Music we printed 25 very high quality prints of the album art for Mylo Zyloto which each member of the band signed, arranged for the band to paint and sign 3 canvas paintings, and printed 2,000 prints of the album art, all signed by the album artist Paris. Proud Gallery very kindly gave us their Camden Gallery space to launch this project on November 28th, where as well as all of the above works, we will display the 7 meter long original Xylo Zyloto wall and a collection of never before seen images of Coldplay on tour by Miller, their tour photographer.

October 17, 201213 yr Author It's Chris. Why would they post a picture of Will, Jonny, Guy and Paris on Coldplay.com? I was right! October 17, 2012 - submitted by Jordan, Netherlands Q. Hey O, I was wondering, on the picture of the graffiti wall you can see Will,Jonny,Guy and? Chris or Paris? It's hard to see and Chris doesn't have that much curls nowadays. I would be grateful for your answer! Greetings from Holland The Oracle replies: I agree it's hard to see and hard to tell who is who. It could be anyone! It's not though; it's Chris, Will, Jonny & Guy - left to right.
