SECOND SATURDAY ON THE SUPER BLOCK

05.07.09

By: Josh Wills


May 9th is shaping up to be a night of extreme art overload here in Denver… though there is a bit of a silver lining… all the shows are all in the same general vicinity nestled in a quiet but vibrant little neighborhood off of the East Colfax strip otherwise known as the “Super Block”.

Basic Run Down:
Oxymoron by: Andrew Hoffman @ The Shoppe ● Fight or Flight by: Adam Reker @ Plastic Chapel ● ARTCRANK group show @ The Fabric Lab ● Seinfeld Sessions by: Keith Jive @ Newspeak ● Cephalic Combustion by: Nathan Reker @ Neopolitan

May 9th, 2009 : 2907 East Colfax – 3109 East Colfax : 7PM – 11PM : The Super Block Rides again!

ARTCRANK Denver 2009 – RECAP

04.13.09

By: Lucian Foehr

This was Denver’s first year hosting ARTCRANK and we came out strong! HUGE turnout, bikes everywhere, fashion show, crazy-ass marching band and over 40 posters from some of Colorado’s freshest artists. We made the trek from Boulder via bus / bike (bus to Wadsworth, bike from there), riding with Collin (Quickleft), Dan (Retail Sprout/Hi! Local), and Big Grant (Sid Factor Seven).

You can check out all of our photos over on our Flickr, but here are a select few. Big ups to the Wills Fam for hosting the whole shebang, to Charles (who started ARTCRANK back in MN 4 years ago) and Rob & Celeste who made the long trip back for the show. We miss you guys already.

Until next year.

Indy Ink a little torn up... Of the roughly 50 artists on board for ARTCRANK Denver 2009 Indy Ink handled the printing of 24 poster designs comprised of over 50 individual color screens in just 10 days and all after hours - all as near to perfection as one can get with hand pulled screen printing. Fuck Yeah.
