Art Blob: The Calm Before The Storm
>>> We’ll have a lot more First Friday news for ya as the week progresses — we’re updating our art listings page right now, and frankly, there’s a dizzying amount of shows opening up this week — but think of this as the calm before the storm. Over at your local Print Liberation silkscreen shop, there’s a great, cheap screenprints sale going on (pictured in ultraminiature at left), as well as the, um, second totally awesome Obama t-shirt we’ve seen this week.

>>> The full schedule for this year’s Backseat Film Fest — the down-n-dirty, super-DIY film fest that’s now in its sixth year — has just been released. Headlining the fest? Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation, a shot-by-shot VHS re-enactment made in the 1980s by a group of teens and pre-teens. [BackseatFilmFest/AintItCool]
>>> And finally, check out the new issue of highbrow lit journal A Public Space: There’s photos by Zoe Strauss and this essay on Kurt Vonnegut by Philly expat Ian Chillag. [APublicSpace]
