Kriss Créol and Sid Lee Collective were invited to take part of Vinyl CPH. The exhibition is set in motion by a great passion for designer toys - a phenomenon where the established art scene meets urban culture.

The exhibition will run at Danish Architecture Center DAC from the 1st of December to the 2nd of February 2009/2010. It will also be showcased on the website www.vinylcph.dk which will be promoted worldwide.
