Kennard 's 2011 project was @earth , a story without words told in the language of photomontage . It takes the form of a small book priced at £ 9.99 , published by the Tate Gallery , which Kennard believed was a reasonably cheap and accessible way of getting his message to young people outside the artworld . The book contains a variety of images from Kennard 's 40-year career and , as a result , attracts the criticism that its targets are too general . Kennard 's reply was that he wanted " to encourage people to think about their own situation and activate , but I 'm not trying to tell them to do this or that . I 'm just trying to show how I see the world at the moment . " The idea has expanded to a re-appropriation and re-distribution of his images through online platforms such as Tumblr , Facebook and Twitter . G8 Protest Posters is the latest of these projects that shares images " designed for protest " . Created in 2013 in reaction to the 39th G8 summit in Enniskillen , Kennard has encouraged the public to " print , Tweet , Facebook , email and share these images as a sign of protest " . He sees online distribution sites as " a valuable addition to the dissident artists toolbox . G8 is a charade masquerading as a serious conference , my posters attempt to rip through the lies and point to the world as in fact it is . " Kennard has also executed a number of guerrilla street installations and has said " if world leaders insist on assaulting our lives and livelihoods , let 's hit back by assaulting their eyes . " The first major retrospective of Kennard 's work was held at the Imperial War Museum for a year from May 2015 . The show then moved to mac birmingham in 2016
