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!

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.

Crowd-swell inside Neopolitan
Dea & Dave's Plastic Chapel was packed all night!!! Toys and bikes - so amazing.
The Fabric Lab was slammed all night as Tran handled poster purchases.

Not really much room to move - at all.
The BLOCK in full effect. Denver knows how to party - arty.
And some of our favs… Alex had to fight the crowd to get pics so we couldn’t get ‘em all.

Scot Lefavor for ARTCRANK Denver
Indyink a little torn up... Of the roughly 50 artists on board for ARTCRANK Denver 2009 Indyink 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.

ARTCRANK Minneapolis 2009 looked super rad. The Tran/Josh x Celeste/Lifter twatter left us a bit jealous. But, we’ve got a feelin’ the Colorado posse’s gonna hold shit down too. On that note - we just wrapped our posters with our man Ray at Good Thoughts on the press - and damn… tasty work, Ray. Here’s a preview of PROPER TRANSPORTATION by cypher13 starring Mike Moore, Miria Moore, Maya Moore, and Maya Moore’s dolly. Saturday the 11th is gonna be poppin’!!! We’re just happy to have been invited to play. Thanks ARTCRANK.

This Saturday is shaping up to be one for the books. Tons of goodness happening around town, so get out early and start making rounds. Personally I’m super stoked on the line-up that we’ve put together along the sunny and vibrant corridor of East Colfax. Scot Lefavor shows us all how to improve our lives ten fold, in his solo show Products For A Better Living at The Fabric Lab. Snowblinded (Anthony Cozzi) will be burning retnas & birthing pure light, with his first solo show Snow & Light at The Shoppe. And last but not least Plastic Chapel channels the power of time and space in the second opening of the Square Footage show.
7PM – 11PM : The Shoppe 3101 E. Colfax : The Fabric Lab 3105 E. Colfax : Plastic Chapel 3109 E. Colfax
