Smile: Big Brother is Watching You

Now how does that make you feel? What is your interpretation of my Barack Obama Big Brother poster? Are you excited that you are now being watched over by a new kind of Big Brother? Or, are you thinking that the masks have changed, but the system remains the same – with slight differences of course. Perhaps, you are not thinking. You have nothing to worry about.

Please come by on Tuesday and let me know your thoughts! The information is below and from the Arts Company.

“The Arts Company is presenting a special “Obama Inauguration Art Party and Exhibit” on inauguration day, January 20, 2009, from 11-2pm in the gallery in downtown Nashville at 215 Fifth Avenue of the Arts, North.

The special event will feature big screen live coverage of inauguration activities and present an exhibit of commemorative portraits of Obama by four artists—Jorge Arrieta, Bob Grossman, Brother Mel, and Jeff Hand. The original artwork by these artists will be accompanied by limited-edition prints of each portrait, signed and numbered by each artist to commemorate this historic occasion.

The Obama bust by Robert Grossman, a NY-based illustrator, has been featured on the cover of the New York Observer.  Jorge Arrieta has had one of his current political poster series selected to be included in the Manifest Hope: DC Gallery, an exhibit curated by Shepard Fairy and others, scheduled in Washington, D.C. as a special inaugural art event.  Brother Mel created a painted metal portrait of Obama “after 4 years in the White House,” and Jeff Hand has created one of his signature portraits in felt.” – The Arts Company

Hope to see you there.
