ETERNITY at The Storefront

An eternity ago (or one year ago, today), I was part of an exhibition at The Storefront in Logan Square in Chicago. I was excited to work with Brandon Alvendia again, who runs the space, and Marc Fisher of Temporary Services and Public Collectors who organized the show.  Marc invited me to show my rave flyer collection that hadn't see the light of day in over a decade.

Below is the flyer I made for the exhibition using a photo I took while flying over the Baltic Sea from Helsinki, Finland to Copenhagen, Denmark in 2006.  My short essay appeared on the back.  You can also see a lot of my scanned flyers here.

Public Collectors' awesome documentation of the show here.

Logan Square's The Storefront presents a show tonight Saturday featuring a collection of rave and club flyers from the collection of Bridgette Buckley.  She began collecting flyers in Boulder, Colorado in the early 90's when she attended her first rave.  The collection on display spans the years 1992 to 2001.  Bridgette will also be spinning music from that period for tonight's reception.

This show was facilitated by Public Collectors, a group founded by artist Marc Fisher dedicated to sharing people's collections of books, records, and ephemera with broader audiences.
