Over 30 Bay Area Artists and one Mid-Western Artist give you: "...so many products so little time...The JUNK MAIL! Show".!!! Sculpture, drawing, printmaking, video, artist's books, poetry, prose, collage and painting are all part of this hilarious send-up of the consumer world+meets+pop art=junk mail culture, all lovingly presented as ultra mundane meditations on the advertising campaigns and products that are pushed on us when we're least expecting it or at least expecting something else, like the PG&E bill. Curators Andy Vogt and Sarah Smith literally forced the 30+ artists in this show to confront, read and be inspired by rather than recycle the junk that the postal worker delivers to us on a daily basis, and to use these Direct Mail Circulars as "road maps" to create homages to the detritus of the mail slot.
