Chain Letter, organized by Christian Cummings and Doug Harvey, Shoshana Wayne Gallery, Santa Monica, July 22–August 26, 2011

The end of the line to deliver/install artworks

Chain Letter was a pretty nutty, sometimes euphoric affair. Check out my blow-by-blow account on the LA Weekly Style Council blog, and see below for pictures and additional details that I couldn’t squeeze into that article. There are also tons more postings from various peoples on the Facebook event page. And, check out the brand new Chain Letter international website.

I really dig these guys, whoever they are
