Shipping + Receiving: Call for Wanted Posters


As part of their January 2013 installation at StoreFrontLab, Shipping + Receiving, has issued a Call for Wanted Posters, and assembled a notable line-up of judges:


Rebecca Solnit (Author of River of Shadows: Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West, rumored source of Beyonce's baby's name) , Renny Pritikin (Director of the Richard L. Nelson Gallery),the excellent painter and culture writer Jaime Cortez.

Selected posters will be collected in a limited-edition folio and exhibited by Shipping + Receiving in January, as part of its ambitious installation alternate described as clearinghouse for obsolete Californias or the lovechild of the Museum of Jurassic Technology and a feed store. 

Curators Heather Smith and Torreya Cummings write: "We are purposely keeping guidelines vague, because wanting is a big and complicated thing. It could mean wanted for a crime or wanted as in 'I want that.' That said, we are smitten with the submissions we've gotten so far, which include wanted posters for wolf OR7, mustaches, and various poetic concepts."
