Cannonball Press is awesome. The prints at the SPACE gallery, namely the larger ones, were incredible. It doesn't seem to common for relief prints to be done on such a large scale. It all tied together well with the circus theme they went with. The gigantic circus print was impressive. What made it even better was being able to see the individual prints hanging on their own and going back to the "collage" one and seeing how they were made to fit together.
Judging from their absolutly hilarious artist statement and the theme of the exhibit, I think the messages they are sending are pretty clear. Cannonball Press seems to be saying that art should be something that everyone should have access to. Anyone can enjoy it. Everyone should be able to afford it. There's something for everyone, just like the circus. By making the exhibit have a circus sideshow theme they also send a message that says, the so-called 'art' world is just like a big circus sideshow, alot of talk and gimmick. The whole world, our society is sideshow.
there was more i had to say about the show but i'll have to get my thoughts in order. maybe there will be more, maybe not...
