Green Patriot Book Call for Entries!

keep buying shit you don't need, seagulls love itDesigns wanted for Green Patriot Posters book to be published in Fall 2010 or Spring 2011 by a major publisher. We are looking for designs that put some urgency, vibrancy, strength and/or optimism into the sustainability movement (i.e. The movement to fight climate change; the movement for energy independence. Whatever you want to call it). The more energy in the poster, the better.

Go to http://bit.ly/bBaj3Z for a fuller brief, specs, etc.

Best way to submit is through the site directly. When we get down to production and if we have selected your image, we will ask for higher res at
that time.

Designers who have already contributed include:

Michael Bierut, Shepard Fairey, DJ Spooky (aka Paul D. Miller), Village, Rob Giampietro, Nancy Skolos, Jon Santos, Mike Perry and more.

The book will include essays by Michael Bierut and Steven Heller. Green Patriot Posters will be included in the Cooper Hewitt National Design
Museum’s Triennial in May 2010.

The catch is that we need ‘em quick. Best if within two weeks (by March 15) when we make our first round of cuts.

Project M Detroit

Project M Lab is an amorphous group of people who travel to different cities all over the world, identify an issue and work to create some kind of solution or intervention. I know, it sounds lofty but our presence was actually quite modest, humble and not so didactic. We purchased an empty lot and built a horseshoe park on it and organized a tournament. I was invited by Jeff Caldwell (VegaProject) and John Bielenberg to participate as an advisor and had the opportunity to work with some really great people.

Queen’s Nails Projects presents the group exhibition: Alter Ego (A.K.A.)

Queen’s Nails Projects presents the group exhibition: Alter Ego (A.K.A.)
Exhibition dates: Aug 13 – Aug 31, 2009
Opening reception: Thursday August 13, 8-11pm
Gallery hours: Wednesday – Saturday 3-7
Address: Queen’s Nails, 3191 Mission St, San Francisco

Queen’s Nails is pleased to announce Alter Ego, a group exhibition about truth in fiction.

The term “alter ego” signifies a second self or a split personality.  Often, this type of identity construction is indicative of a certain pathology, such as in the case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr Hyde by Stevenson.  In this case, the second self is created because the desires of the individual fail to fit the strictures imposed by civilization, and thus create the imposter as an outlet.  Alternatively, a second persona is often created as a way to access new communities, ideas, and activities otherwise unattainable in one’s normal form, such as in the case of Superman. Without the identity of Clark Kent, Superman would be unequivocally an outsider.  Whether we invent masks for ourselves because we fear the ramifications of our actions without them, or whether we don a new hat for personal amusement, escape, or growth, or just to fit it, the fact is that living in a bifurcated world of invented mindsets identities is both prevalent and pervasive.

The featured artists in Alter Ego, all share the fact that they have constructed identities and personas for themselves as artworks, apart from their “real” persons.  These alternative identities exist for many reasons, for pleasure, as rebirth, due to psychosis, or for utility, and we invite you to come and explore this psychological investigation.

Alter Ego features new work by artists: Anne McGuire A.K.A. Freddy McGuire, Tom Borden and Eric Gibbens (A.K.A. Khyssup Muistardeaux), Jaime Cortez, Jon Santos, Jordan Essoe, Vita Hewitt (A.K.A. Chuck), Kristin Lucas (A.K.A. Kristin Lucas), Lizabeth Eva Rossoff (A.K.A. Kelly Flynn), Linda Trunzo (A.K.A. Sonni Trunzio), And Neal White (A.K.A. The Incredible Randy)
