http://loose-limbs.com share, discuss, and collect local RVA poster art Thu, 28 Oct 2010 12:37:20 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 http://loose-limbs.com/cursive-at-alley-katz-2 http://loose-limbs.com/cursive-at-alley-katz-2#comments Thu, 18 Feb 2010 04:25:24 +0000 Brandon Peck http://loose-limbs.com/?p=493 This show is sort of a blur for me at this point. It was the first time I’d heard any of these bands except City of Caterpillar, and every single band blew me away. I’d seen these posters floating around Richmond leading up to the show, and as soon as the show had happened, I tried to collect as many as I could. These posters are strange examples of screenprinting as a means to disseminate information vs. art. Some of these are completely unintelligible, yet still strangely beautiful.

Something to do with the guy who organized the show having promoted it as being free to VCU and U of R students, but never having cleared that arrangement with either school financially. Anyway, the show was incredible. Eastern Youth was great and Cursive was incredibly intense. As far as the poster goes, I’ll say personally I’m drawn to the sparse nature of it. The visual elements are there, and the idea behind it is so simple that it’s perfect.
