Shynola

Shynola is the collective name of a group of three visual artists based in London who have collaborated on a variety of projects, including a number of music videos.

This article is about the group of artists. For other uses, see Shinola (disambiguation).

Shynola was formed by Gideon Baws, Chris Harding, Richard Kenworthy and Jason Groves in 1994 at the Kent Institute of Art & Design.[1] They collaborated on a number of art projects at college, including an exhibition at a London gallery in 1996 called "Shinola".[2]

The name Shynola is a reference to Shinola, a wax-based shoe polish from the early 1900s.

In 2008, Shynola member Gideon Baws died at age 33.[3]

gollark: > One inadequately solved design problem was the need for heavy shielding to protect the crew and those on the ground from acute radiation syndrome; other potential problems included dealing with crashes.[2] ah yes.
gollark: That is not much of an issue. The carbon dioxide production from them is. If we ran out somehow, it would be possible to synthesize more (with energy input, obviously).
gollark: Also, I think there are some nuclear plane concepts? Generally they use the heat from the nuclear stuff directly in some way.
