Free Spirit News: Fourth Dimensional Issues
Inspired by radical and counterculture magazines, comics and street theater groups such as Mad Magazine, Zap Comix, Mothers News, and the Diggers of San Francisco, Free Spirit News offers irreverence and creativity as the 鈥渘ews of the spirit鈥� available free of charge to all who come across it at local coffee shops, records stores and bars. Twelve collaborative editions have been published since its founding and each thematic issue has challenged dominant modes of communication, commerce and image-making. United by a shared graphic sensibility and commitment to inclusion, the artists represented in the exhibition deftly skewer and satirize all aspects of life, politics and popular culture.
The playful content and lo-fi aesthetics of Free Spirit News translate to the gallery space in this exhibition that will include painting, drawing, sculpture and animation from the Free Spirit News editors and a wide circle of contributors and friends. Additionally, performances and events will be held in conjunction with the exhibition including a live drawing and dance party with Spoiler Room, an audiovisual media collective that creates site-specific 鈥淭V parties鈥� and a seminar by Dawn Riddle in collaboration with Joel Stotesbery on "Harnessing Marketing Potential in the Multiverse Age.鈥�
