EXITSTENCIL PRESS NEWS
http://www.exitstencilpress.com

OK, this is the first mail out from Exitstencil Press and there’s much to tell, which is one of the reasons it has taken so long to say hello.

Firstly, we have very kindly been offered a gallery in London with which to officially launch Exitstencil Press  back into the land of the living again.
The’ UNDERGROUND GALLERY’ is exactly that and underneath Charing Cross Station, London.
This new gallery is the brainchild of a young photographer called Christine Santa Ana who, no doubt, has a lot of other good ideas up her sleeve for the future.
The launch of Exitstencil will take place on  21st NOVEMBER – 5th DECEMBER.
There will be a series of events starting with music from Tony Barber and Danny Drummond, otherwise known as THE NEAR FUTURE
Other events have yet to be confirmed and once they are, we’ll let you know all the times and dates.

********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
There is an exhibition about to open at the BOO-HOORAY GALLERY NYC.
If you are around anytime between 30th SEPTEMBER – 20th OCTOBER, take a look at the show, it’s a fascinating display of fanzines
and other ephemera from the 70’s-90’s.
Again there will be events happening, so see the website.

19 Sep :: Things to Come (AU)

Metro Gallery is excited to present the work of three new artists in its upcoming group show, ‘Things to Come’. Exhibiting the works of Daniel Smith, JKB Fletcher and E.L.K, the show will officially welcome this group of 2011 Metro Gallery Art Award finalists to the Gallery’s stable of artists.

These young artists represent some of the best emerging Australian talent. From Daniel Smith’s picturesque realism, to E.L.K’s intricate stencils and JKB Fletcher’s fantastical female portraits, ‘Things To Come’ promises to present diverse artistic techniques, subject matter and palette – the makings of an exciting and unique group exhibition.
