Quality Over Kitsch – Thanks to Gregory Scott writing for Vitamin.  I normally would not participate in the Art A Whirl event here in Minneapolis because it’s just too crafty for my taste. So I thought it would be a good opportunity to have a show and put up some museum quality work at the studio.  I was producing the prints for the Big Shots show so I decided to work a little harder and get the studio filled with Big prints by the time that AAW started.  I did eventually get the space filled up and still did not have enough room for all the artists.  That’s why I am trying to finish the last few and have a real reception in August.  To display the show we just tacked up the prints with pushpins.  There’s nothing like looking at a Huge Alec Soth or Paul Shambroom without any glass in the way.  This approach has spawned the Workprint Gallery,  coming to Workprint Studios in September.
