#Repost @obeygiant (@get_repost) ・・・ The peace sign has long been an important image and symbol for me, not just because I am pro-harmony and anti-war, but because it’s the graphic icon that taught me the power of an easily recognized and reproduced symbol. - Shepard @subliminalprojects is pleased to present #PEACE, a selection of never before seen photographs by the late legendary photographer @jimmarshallphoto, documenting the use of the peace symbol in America between 1961-1969. The exhibition follows the September 2017 book release of these unseen photographs, collated and published first time by @realartpress, featuring a foreword I wrote. In conjunction with the exhibition, Subliminal Projects invited emerging artists to submit works inspired by the peace symbol and Marshall’s photographs on Instagram, under the hashtag #PeaceSPExhibit. Participating artists include @sofiaenriquez, @billrebholz, @_rathbone_, @matthewlapenta, @meyer.reto, @denialart, @toppboom, @matt_elliott_art, @lowlivesonhighseas, @oliveillustration, and @thomaswimberly. If you’d like to attend the opening reception on Saturday, November 4 from 8pm-11pm, email [email protected].
