Opening this Friday, February 5, 2010 is an interesting art exhibit at Art Ecology? Called “Post No Bills: Art is Not Illegal” the show features street art, something that Art Ecology is a big supporter of.
“Post No Bills” will feature the concept of street art, Art Ecology believes that this genre is valid and rising in our area, and opens it’s doors to it for exhibition. The focus of the show is on the opportunity for street art to be practiced and viewed in a safe environment. Louisville has a strong, expanding, street art scene that is long overdue for a break and some recognition and “Post No Bills” will do that. The gallery will be open to installation by anyone who wishes to participate by wheat pasting, sticking, stenciling, or painting their images in the gallery, as you would on the street.
The show will also have a social aspect in that the equity of placement and message will have to be balanced by the installing artists as it would in the street, space is limited and overlay is inevitable. Also the communities reaction to the concept and the work will be a focus, and Art Ecology will be a safe open forum for these and all concerns surrounding “Post No Bills: Art is not Illegal”
Sounds very cool. Would love to hear from people who have participated by painting or otherwise adding their art to the space. I’d also love to know if they are scheduling any discussions or lectures on street art its place in the community and the battles between street artists and property owners.
