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.
