⌖The Message

1. [6:07 PM] Hello G.P.C members, I have submitted an application to the college requesting a space for a club gallery show and have received word that it was accepted and approved. Tell a friend.
2. Info: The show’s title is ”THE MESSAGE”. It is meant to be taken as a light connection of the power that t-shirts have as the most efficient way of providing messages on your person. The title is also meant to connect to the sense of “divine wisdom” that stupid hippies and acidheads got when taking drugs, also the Manson murders, and also the Jonestown mass suicide. Envelope a cult and spooky atmosphere when designing for this show.
3. The theme is circling around certain iconography and aesthetics of the late 60’s to early 70’s but with your own personal spin on it, of course. The reason being is to employ the idea of home, bootleg and guerilla screen printing, which became influential as the US entered the Vietnam war.
4. I am not asking for people to create designs with smiley faces, peace signs and Yin-Yangs, but do not feel like you cannot use these if it plays into your designs. 
5. Besides a few sculptures, the 95% majority of the work in the gallery will be from interested club members. This may be beneficial to your website storefront or Carcass storefront in selling your shirts if interested.
6. [6:08 PM] Now, if you really aren’t interested in the theme at all, but are still amped to have your work in a show this would also be allowed, I am not going to say no to anybody’s designs if they are passionate about it. But really try and give it your all for this theme. More work embodying the zeitgeist of the birth of screen printing garments can only help the show succeed.
7. TIME → I am not quite sure when the gallery has been approved for, hopefully later in the semester, but I am giving you this message for you to think about and possibly attempt some designs just in case it is at the very beginning of the semester. If it's early, this club will always make do.
8. Please try to convey YOUR MESSAGE through this aesthetic if possible to create a coherent theme. And refer to these links if you need some inspiration!
