This is getting fun
A friend of mine who manages a gallery at a different local college is now showing my Eastern European posters! They'll be on display through the spring semester if anyone missed the other show and will be in the Upstate SC area. Please let me know if you do come and I'd be happy to walk through the show with you and chat... There will also be a talk on Feb. 28th. Hope you can make it!

another gallery that wants to do a different poster show with me! I'm going to start a separate thread on the topic as I would love to brainstorm with y'all about how to organize it and what to include. It should be fun though as I was talking with their gallery manager and we thought it would be cool to do a progression through the years. Starting with early cinema (possibly some photos of marquees like in the Uni Horror thread), look at changes in the printing processes (and have a local artist on hand to make screen prints), show posters in old theater frames (like from
this thread), posters various countries, etc... There is a lot of space there so I think it could be a really cool show.
The gallery (Hub Bub:
https://www.facebook.com/HubBubSC) is showing an unrelated poster exhibit right now... there is a local collector who has been traveling to Cuba for years and years and has an incredibly cool collection of political posters. All you can see in the pics are Che posters, but there are tons of propaganda posters, communistic worker posters, agricultural, etc... Incredibly cool stuff and beautifully framed. I need to up my game apparently...
