POST is an initiative that commissions Chicago-based artists to create posters for the public space.

Editions from the POST series will be exhibited throughout various neighborhoods on a monthly basis, beginning April 2003. POST regards these commissioned works in the same vein as rock show posters, political propaganda, public announcements, and advertisements – able to break up or blend in with their pre-determined location. These posters may be noticed or unnoticed by the populace; vandalized, taken home, thrown out, or left in place for an indeterminable period of time.

POST proposes to increase the artist's audience, potentially generating new forms of intervention, discussion, and communication. Considering the billboard, poster, leaflet, flyer, and other means of inexpensive mass-produced communicative media, POST provides another means of distribution for a vast range of ideas and considerations.
