The Olio Arts Cooperative are pleased to announce Live!Stock, an exhibition of posters, pins & music art, taking place August 29-31, running throughout Rifflandia. Live!Stock will feature a collection of gig posters spanning decades of Victoria’s music history and a button exhibit comprised of works by artists from across the continent. We're looking to see if there are any other local artists who would like to submit button designs or old poster for the show. If you are interested at all, please contact admin(at)oliocooperative.ca .

Submitting buttons for the show is simple - go to http://www.OlioCooperative.ca and grab the template, place your button images in the template following the guidelines & e-mail it back. We'll press a copy of each button for the show & another for the artist.

We’ll be displaying some newer poster works from artists that really make the medium exciting & revisiting older posters that encapsulated early Canadian punk with cut & paste, carbon-copy precision. We’ll be recreating some older prints as large format screen printed pieces (Dead Kennedy's '86 as a 3 colour 18x24 print) & Bob Masse himself has loaned us 8 pieces from his personal collection, entailing Victoria shows from as far back as the Doors in '67.

The button exhibit will be comprised of artists & designers from far & wide, each invited to submit up to 6 designs, in either 1” or 1.5” format. The unique creations will be on exhibition throughout the three days of Live!Stock, where they will then go on sale Sunday afternoon at 6:00 pm for $2 each.

The show runs in conjunction with Rifflandia, throughout labour day weekend. Worls will be viewable Aug 29-31st from 2:00-8:00pm daily, with the pin sale party & Main viewing happening Sunday at 6:00pm.

Live!Stock is proudly presented by the OLiO Artists & Workers Cooperative & will be a benefit for their publicly accessible screen printing equipment, inks, chemicals, stocks and supplies, buttons making presses & parts, and common working space for cooperative members. The cooperative is strongly dedicated to making mediums such as screen printing more accessible to artists who may not want a pressure washer & industrial sink in their apartment.

Feel free to get in touch if you're interested in submitting anything at all.

Thanks so much - be sure to come by the show. It's gonna be a really seminal exhibition of Victoria's music history.

Wanted to check this one out but it conflicted with Noise! fest. Any chance the posters are still up on a wall somewhere?

As I understand it they'll be up until a closing party tomorrow night (Sat Sept. 6th - 6:00pm - ?) at the ol' Project on Fisgard. It's definitely worth checking out. Victoria has a LOT of great poster artists. Nice to see so many of them under one roof. - Fri, 5 Sep 2008 1:27pm

No worries - the whole thing went really well & we'll be running a larger exhibition next summer. Maybe I'll post some pics of the show before long... maybe peter gardner has some somewhere. - Tue, 9 Sep 2008 10:56am
