Justseeds.org and Visual Resistance present a one-night benefit art
show and sale at Ad Hoc Art, Thursday February 8, 2007.
There will be an exhibition of artists supporting the transformation
of Justseeds into an artist owned and run collective. Art by
Justseeds artists and friends will also be on the sale, with prices
starting at $4. The show will also be the NYC release of the Street
Art Workers (SAW) poster project.
The show will feature over 30 artists from NYC and around the
country, including: Swoon, Chris Stain, Josh MacPhee, RB827,
Christopher Cardinale, Michael De Feo, Kristine Virsis, Elbow-Toe,
GoreB, Imminent Disaster, k.see, Nicolas Lampert, Meredith Stern,
Cristy Road, Pete Yahnke, and many more.
Along with the exhibition of the above artists will be the NYC
release of the Street Art Workers' Land and Globalization poster
project, a collection of 25 posters representing artists from 10
different countries and over 20 different cities.
All proceeds from the show will go toward getting the Justseeds
Artist Cooperative off the ground. Posters, books, and zines start
at $4, with most artwork priced between $10 - 30.About Justseeds
Justseeds was founded as a radical art distribution service by Josh
MacPhee in 1997. In nearly 10 years of operations, it has became a
crucial resource for radical artists and activists throughout the US.
In December 2006, the company that was filling Justseeds online
orders (including hosting the website, processing payments, and
shipping products), unexpectedly went out of business, immediately
shutting down its online store. On top of shutting down
distribution, the fulfillment house owed Justseeds upwards of $10,000
(most of that money in turn was owed directly to artists and writers
who sold items on the site).
Now, like the proverbial phoenix, Justseeds is rising: a national
network of artists are banding together to create a self-managed
cooperative that will help spread radical art around the world.
