Run, Blago, Run! Show - Open Call EXTENDED
Artists are invited to submit work in any medium to the juried Run, Blago, Run! Show, 3-day POP-UP gallery held in Chicago, July 24 - 26, 2009.
As you know Illinois' disgraced ex-Governor, Rod Blagojevich, aka Blago was recently impeached. Since then he has been making the rounds on network television defending his case. At times, comparing himself to Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and even Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Recently, graffiti art stencils of the former governor jogging in his black track suit and looking over his shoulder are finding their way onto buildings and alleys around the city of Chicago. Painted with black spray-paint on primarily white viaduct walls the image is reminiscent of Blago's actual Ravenswood area jog in snowy Chicago mid-winter earlier this year during his indictment.
Submission Deadline EXTENDED: July 15th, 2009
CONCEPT
The theme of the show is based on Blago's now classic black Nike tracksuit and jogging pose. Who do you imagine Blago running from... dogs, racing track officials, the U.S. Attorney Fitzpatrick? Is he eating a burger and fries or is his jumpsuit actually prison orange? Looking for original perspectives, social commentary and political satire.
