Busted Amp
June 26 - July 23, 2008
Closing Reception: July 18, 2 - 4pm

Along side Chicago’s robust music scene is a vibrant and thriving set of designers and artists producing its show posters, t-shirts, and album covers. Organized by Anchor Graphics, this group exhibition features a selection of fine art prints by some of the leading screen-printers associated with Chicago music. The focus of the show is the work that these artists are doing as art pieces. However some show bills have been included to examine the crossover between the different aspects of their artistic practices and to maintain a connection to the music that is such an integral part of their work. Much of the work on display was selected for exhibition by the artists. This has allowed them to show some of their most recent pieces, maintaining the vibrant energy and freshness so associated with this youth driven art form. In addition to more traditional works on paper, some of the artists have created temporary pieces specifically for this exhibition, screen-printing directly on the walls of the gallery. On exhibit at the A+D Gallery, 619 S. Wabash.
