In the Project Room:
GENERAL STORE: THE FOUR-COLOR PEN SHOW
Curated by Elysia Borowy and Heather Hubbs
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.

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.
