poster “Barbershop” (2009) by Glenn Ligon, signed, numbered

As the name implies Circle Jerk is an ad hoc group of queer artists lending each other a hand. What began in 2007 with an original group of 13 artists has grown to 16 participants. There is no specific curatorial premise, although the posters were clandestinely distributed on the streets to coincide with Art Toronto 2009 in late October. The posters found an audience by chance, provoking questions or reactions. A signed, limited edition was a fundraiser for Art Metropole. The set is packaged in a custom-made portfolio carrying case printed with artists’ names and the title “Circle Jerk 2009” displayed in pink text. The edition has been produced in a very limited quantity of 50 sets of all 16 posters, full colour offset printed, signed and numbered.

Participating artists include:
Andy Fabo
Brendan Fernandes
Bruce LaBruce
John Greyson
Daryl Vocat
Glenn Ligon
Stephen Andrews
Luis Jacob
David Altmejd
Chris Curreri
John McLachlin
Micah Lexier
Peter Kingstone

GALERIE VAN GELDER EDITION
published by Galerie van Gelder, Amsterdam
€ 960,- + € 18,- registered EU mail



Steven Parrino was known for having a preference for black, i.e. black cloths, black sunglasses, black paint on canvas, black noise, black duct tape (although he preferred to wrap his crumpled canvasses in silver coloured duct tape). Vintage cars, Harley Davidson motorbikes and Chevrolet motor blocks were also among his favorites to use in his art. The shortening “SS” for Super Sport is a signature performance option package offered by Chevrolet on a limited number of its vehicles. All SS models come with distinctive “SS” markings on their exterior. The SS package was first made available for the 1961 Impala. Here Steven Parrino combined a motor block with a mooning Iggy Pop (?) in black and white on an uncut invitation card. For the occasion of his show an improvised edition was issued.
