PhenomANON: Two Decades of Ephemeral Urban Guerrilla
Artfare
Art opening and multi-media arts festival, Saturday
June 9, 2001 

After an extensive international call to artists, the
Independent Media 
Center 
Gallery presents an exhibit of anonymous guerrilla
street art 
submissions from 
around the world. The exhibit will span two decades of
guerrilla street 
art, 
from 1980-present. Mediums of expression include:
stickers, tag ups, 
agitprop 
posters, graffiti stencil templates, billboard
liberation 
documentation, 
subvertisements, zines, and unauthorized street sign
implants. The show 
also 
promises a banquet table stocked with thousands of
free stickers for 
the 
public produced by the artists who are exhibited in
the show.  A "free 
wall" 
for stenciling invites any guests of the show to
spontaneously interact 
with 
the exhibit by making a stencil and spray painting
directly onto the 
wall.
