GENERAL STORE: THE FOUR-COLOR PEN SHOW

In the project room, the communards of Milwaukee's General Store are organizing a sprawling drawing show in which artists can use that reliable old staple of American high school graphics: the four-color pen. No other requirements were given. The list of artists thus far covers the spectrum, from heavyweights Julie Mehretu and Jim Lambie to Matt Greene and Chicago brawler Vince Dermondy (full list of artist below*). This show will open in two states simultaneously-part at Locust Projects and part at General Store in Milwaukee. We'll have a live feed of the Midwestern madness.

*Full list of artists in the Four-Color Pen Show: Scoli Acosta, Lucas Ajemian, Andy Alexander, Kathryn Andrews, Anne Bisone, Alex Brown, Gavin Brown, Edgar Bryan, Valerie Carberry, Henry Chamberlain Sara Clendening Theresa Columbus, Michael Coughlan, Liz Craft, Trinie Dalton, Rob Davis and Mike Langlois, Vince Dermody, David Dunlap, Gabert Farrar, Ken Fandell and Patte Loper, Andreas Fischer, Jason Fox, Nicholas Frank, Rainer Ganahl, Ben Gill, Matthew Greene, Frank Haines, Tali Hinkis, Dan Hug, Jessica Hutchins, Charles Irvin, Stacie Johnson, Jim Lambie, Kyle Lapidus, Xay Leplae, Adam Leech, Eric Lezotte, Rebekah Levine, Marie Lorenz, Teena McClelland, Julie Mehretu, Kim Miller, Lilly Rose Miller, Pentti Monkkonen, JP Monroe, Donald Morgan, Takeshi Murata, David Noonan, Andy Ouchi, Laura Owens, Mike Paré, John Parot, Krista Peel, Scott Reeder, Tyson Reeder, Justin Sampson, Makoe Seawright, Mindy Shapero, Michael Smith, Francine Spiegel, Ben Stone, Bruce Tapola, Mungo Thomson, Kerry Tribe, Pedro Velez, Scott Wolniak, Siebren Versteeg, Amy Yao, Wendy Yao, and more.

On the Façade: and i and i and i and i L.A.-based artist Jedediah Caesar, of Running to the Hills (Locust Feb 2004) fame, is organizing a poster invitational. Dozens of artists were invited to produce and mail cheaply constructed posters. They could announce something or not, make sense or not, disseminate facts or not… There was, in reality, no criteria to follow, except that they be awesome. The posters will be wheat-pasted on to the façade of Locust Projects and left there until other poster pasters and local graf heads work over them and the entire project dissolves into the visual reality of the neighborhood.
