PAPER JAM: The Art and Grime of the East Coast Rock Poster

What better place to bring together the work of twenty-seven music-inspired mixed media artists than…Our Nation’s Capital?

Civilian Art Projects, an edgy up-and-coming DC gallery, presents their 2nd exhibition of music posters. Each of the twenty-seven artists from New Jersey to Virginia will show 4 posters. Several pals of Art In The Age are in the roster. Hot damn!

From the curator, Anthony Dihle:

“Both well-established and newly emerging artists are featured. Their methods of production range from high-end offset lithography to silkscreen to Xerox, and their styles are equally varied, from the rock poster standbys of skulls-n-babes to experimentation where text and form are pushed to convey music using symbols and abstraction. Bands represented extend from internationally known acts to garage bands making their debut show. Most of the work is home-brewed, by the artist, and merges the illustration of sound and lyrics with the requisite need for a poster to simultaneously advertise a show and commemorate it.”

ARTIST LIST:

Ana Benaroya, Jordan Bernier, Rick Bowman, Chris Cernoch, Kate Crosgrove, Anthony Dihle (Dirty Pictures), Jefferey Everett (El Jefe Design), JP Flexner, John Foster (Bad People Good Things), Jeff Fry, Tim Gibbon (Dynamite Printworks), James Heimer, Edward Kelley, Daniel Kent, Chris Kline, Nick Kulp (Undercover Zero), Large Mammal, Robb Leef, Drew Liverman, Magick Outlaw, Nick Pimentel (Planaria Design), Gregory Pizzoli, Post Typography, Brian Potash (Devilish Ink), Public Domain, and Warm.

An opening reception will be held on Friday, June 12 from 7 to 9 pm. Haven’t taken a ride on the Chinatown Bus lately? Now’s the time!
