Limited Run 3 - the annual print and zine show at OPEN SPACE

Well tomorrow is the day. Our third annual print and Zine show. the show is half hung and looks totally different but just as amazing as the previous 2 years. We have some of the same artists who work has evolved over the past 3 years and some totally new artists who we are very excited to show! Dan made his yearly pilgrimage down to the mean streets of Brooklyn to pick up work. Take a look at his adventures and a sneak peak at hanging the show. See everyone tomorrow!

Art inside the Park - install

After days and days of kalene varnishing all of the pieces and building braces for all the pieces to stand up in the park we were finally ready to load up the truck and bring the pieces over to the park for the install. the day was gray and overcast but luckily no rain. Once we got to the park we realized we had a bit of an obstacle in that the entire park was on a hill. Since our final pieces were made to go in the very flat jeff city dog park we weren't sure how they would work on the hill. but after a bit of organization and moving things around we ended up being very happy with the install. take a look at our final process picts and see for yourself. big thanks to the guys from the jefferson city parks department for helping us with everything and a huge thanks to Carla Steck and Michael DeFeo for having us out for the event!
