Seripop at Bongout!

Our Seripop buds are touring europe and did a mini Exhibition in the Bongout Shop in Berlin

Opening Saturday, Juni 7th at 7PM
From Juni 7th till June 28th 2008

Seripop is a whacky and prolific duo of graphic designers from Montreal. Renowned since 2001 for their handmade DIY-psychedelic-punk noise rock concert posters (Lightning Bolt, the USA is a Monster, TV on the Radio, XBXRX, An Albatross, Wolf Eyes, Black Dice…), they have adopted silkscreen printing as their favourite medium. It seemed normal that we should invite them to make the Bongout showroom their home for a few weeks.

Seripop ist ein abgedrehtes und arbeitswütiges Grafikerduo aus Montreal. Die seit 2001 für ihre handgemachten DIY-punk-psychedelischen Konzertposter für Noise-Rock-Konzerte (Lightning Bolt, the USA is a Monster, TV on the Radio, XBXRX, An Albatross, Wolf Eyes, Black Dice…) bekannten Grafiker haben den Siebdruck als bevorzugte Ausdrucksweise für sich entdeckt. Es schien uns also geradezu logisch, sie für ein paar Wochen in den Bongout- Showroom einzuladen.

Dave and I are very excited about all of the work and think this may be one of the best Baby Robots ever. As you may or may not know this is an auction show and we have work starting at prices as low as one dollar. A great opportunity to purchase an amazing piece of work for a low price. So please join us for the first Baby Robots of the Year. Where/ Chicago at the Co-Prosperity Sphere 3219 South Morgan Street, Chicago Illinois, 60608 . on May 16th. Biding starts @ 7:00 pm and concludes @ 10:00pm, and if all goes well you will be leaving with your very own baby robot. See you there, for more info please go to http://gbr.siamesebirds.com/

The show is a one-day event that happens during the year in which all of the art is auctioned off at very affordable prices to allow everyone a chance to own a great piece of original artwork.

Studio Visits

Jeremy Uglow Drawing


While Reuben Kincaid has been visiting holland for the last week, I have been busy doing studio visits in the cheese state. I visited the Kincaid house in Whitewater, WI, where Jeremy Uglow showed me some of his new paintings he's been making for his future solo show in the fall. The show still needs some work, but I think with some hard work over the summer it's going to be great.

Leah Evans Studio



Later that afternoon I visited with fiber artist Leah Evans at her studio in Madison, WI. Her show will be in July and August at the project space. She will also be at the 57th Street Art Fair in Hydepark on June 7th and 8th, and at the Bucktown Arts Festival on August 23rd and 24th.
