Opening Night is Saturday, June 20th from 7-10pm

Scion presents: THIS MUST BE THE PLACE
Curated by Faesthetic Magazine

June 20 – July 11, 2009

This Must Be The Place, curated by Ohio based Faesthetic Magazine features eight American artists from the Faesthetic family who represent the diverse styles appearing in the magazine. This Must Be The Place is comprised of artwork centered around the theme of “Home,” and loosely limited to a 2 color palette, just like an issue of Faesthetic.

Featuring:
GLUEKIT, MAXWELL LOREN HOLYOKE-HIRSCH, DAMIEN CORRELL, JOEL SPEASMAKER, MATT CURRY, SKULL PHONE, DAN FUNDERBURGH, JEMMA HOSTETLER

Faesthetic began in 2001 as a photocopied zine and developed into a high-quality experimental arts magazine with international participation and readership.

The exhibit will display a collection of art and oddities by eight American artists inspired by the zine’s minimally toned aesthetic.

Featuring work from Gluekit, Maxwell Loren Holyoke-Hirsch, Damien Correll, Joel Speasmaker, Matt Curry, Skull Phone, Dan Funderburgh and Jemma Hostetler, the acclaimed multimedia artists and designers explore the theme of “home” with the loose limitation of a two-toned color palette.

Dollar ReDe$ign Project

The American Dollar has not truly been redesigned since about the 1930s. The Dollar ReDe$ign Project is your opportunity to theoretically ‘change’ that. Yes, technically there are many limitations and complications when it comes to bank note design, but if the Swiss can do it on a regular basis, why can’t we North Americans too. Besides our great ‘rival’, the Euro, looks so spanky in comparison it seems the only clear way to revive this global recession is to rebrand and redesign. Why not ? It seems to work for everyone else …

“But what’s in it for me?” Whichever submission we like the best will win a special limited edition word-art t-shirt designed by ‘international branding expert’ Richard Smith. Sound good? Then simply submit your redesign ideas here (based on the guidelines below). All entries will be posted. Closing date for submissions is July 4th, 2009.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Brief: simply redesign the US Dollar bill in any way you think appropriate and submit to us for review. We’ll then post the ones we like online.
Guidelines: clearly this is a hypothetical project so have some fun with it, don’t get bogged down in the rights and wrongs of currency design.
Technical Stuff: all submissions should be jpgs, 72dpi, 600px wide, please.
Where to Submit: email your ideas to DollarsNoSense@ThinkCreateBelieve.com
Rules and Regulations: there are none, other than we have the right to veto any work submitted. All copyright remains the property of those submitting their proposals, ie the ‘author’, and all proposals are submitted at the author’s own risk of being called up by the Feds or being wire tapped. All work must also belong to you, the author.
Closing Date: July 4th, 2009.
Legal: NONE of the work submitted can be used as legal tender. Anyone who tries will be sent to Coventry.
