Sunday, October 6th, 2002, 5:00 pm - 7:00pm##

Where: Sidewalk outside of Project Artaud/Southern Exposure 17th St. block between Alabama and Florida. San Francisco, CA Cost: Absolutely free (it’s on the sidewalk).

##The Details:## The Budget Gallery organizes on-the-cheap, professional, gallery style art shows in the unused public spaces found in urban areas. From empty walls to boarded up buildings, the Budget Gallery uses any space that is available and highly visible during the day. Now we’ve found a white wall and we’re setting up shop.

Project Artaud/Southern Exposure has graciously provided their block long North wall for our latest show. Work will be sold at the opening, so arrive early for best viewing. The rest of the work will remain until friday to be sold on the honor system. Work is bargain priced to sell to the general public and most pieces are well under $100. We’ve received work from around the world under the condition that “all work will either be purchased, stolen, or vandalized”. Work ranges from photography, prints, drawings, paintings, books, and more.

Some of the artists included in the show will be: Richard Miller, Rigo 02, Shephard Fairy, NoMe, Elisabeth Oppenheimer, Francesca Pastine, Kalim Armstrong, Adam Connelly, Dale Dreiling, Steve Lambert, Cynthia (Burgess) Yardley, Arthur Huang, Michael Kenny, Mason St. Peter, Dan Spencer, Scott Vermiere, Julie Weingarten, John Rolston, and Hadly Northrop.

Artist Statement: Based on the ukiyo-e work of Katsushika Hokusai, the wriggly chaos characterizing the wave-tossed lives of the eel (unagi) and turtle (kame) becomes, at this scale, a frenetic sexual dance. The bewildered participants, alternately ecstatic and terrified, are a comical yet poignant reminder of our own bewilderment before the forces of nature and time.

Bio: Gregory Dicum is an explorer whose affinity for the questions of existence, paint, and spectacle combine to generate audacious conceptual works that rarely see the light of day. Works like this: http://www.reason8.com/blackbox/

Asking Price: $120
