The advertising for local bands, regional acts and
national tours all use the same form, and our telephone poles reflect
a rich history of performances that have graced local stages.
Where do all of the posters, flyers and images go? Formal kiosks
are cleaned and old images are removed but the most interesting
historical records exist when bands simply staple over each others
images.
Some flyers do not stay on the poles long enough to be stapled over.
Some do not even remain until the performance itself.
Although con/temp had originally proposed an exhibition of these
posters, we are now pleased to withdraw this proposal as an option
for a future exhibition--IceHouse Gallery and Lexington
Arts and Cultural Council have both had similar exhibitions
since our original proposal.
Both of these Lexington galleries clearly sensed the same need for
this exhibition that was recognized by con/temp.
