In 2009 Ben Moore took a Stormtrooper helmet and suit made by Star Wars prop maker Andrew Ainsworth and made it pink and in doing so created the world’s first ever Pink Stormtrooper.

Staged performance art as the Pink Stormtrooper in street demonstration / riots including a “Stormtrooper Strip Tease” in front of hundreds of amused demonstrators in parliament square, December 2010. On 2nd April 2009, The day of the G20 Summit when the city banking sector were instructed not to wear suits into work Moore chose to attend the demonstration in the city wearing a bright pink tailored suit designed for him by Marc Wallace complete with pink brogues, tie and Pink Stormtrooper helmet. Images of the Pink suited Stormtrooper went viral and became synonymous with the G20 demo and one of Art Wars most notorious installations. Other notable exhibits include “Trojan Whore” featuring the Pink StormTrooper at the Tate Modern. With the support of Art Below, Art Wars is often showcased on billboard space in the London Underground, and has also featured on billboard space in Berlin and New Orleans.

Damien Hirst says of Art Wars: “I saw a cartoon  where a Stormtrooper is sat in a chair with his head in his hands looking depressed with a thought bubble coming out if his head saying “those were the droids we were looking for”. So many people today can find that funny and it really shows you how massively all encompassing and ubiquitous Star Wars is.”

Various performances and installations can be viewed on artwars.net and include ‘Tate Storm’ 2008 where Moore entered the Tate Modern and stood uninterrupted for over 4 hours convincing visitors and staff that he was a piece of sculpture.
