"TRUNK SHOW is a mobile exhibition space usually located in Chicago. We feature monthly solo shows for which artists are commissioned to design a limited edition bumper sticker. The sticker lives, rides along with, and helps propel the medium beat up 1999 forest green Ford Taurus owned by Raven Falquez Munsell and Jesse Malmed. In addition to the month-long exhibitions, the editioned bumper stickers are sold (from the trunk) for a collector-friendly price and by annual subscription. Openings follow a nomadic, symbiotic logic and include a public affixing, cool tunes and road snacks. We were named Best New Art Gallery on a Car Bumper by Newcity back in 2013 and recently interviewed by Hyperallergic."

"August brings us bringing you the great Claire Arctander. Arctander is doubling down on the sticker idea. In addition to her fantastic bumper sticker—the details of which we’re keeping a secret of course—she’s producing a small batch of smaller stickers specifically made to feminize, revise and radicalize American currency. Like so much of Arctander’s work, the gesture is tender—at least in the legal sense—but tough; both messy and incisive, able to hit on a series of registers. We’re hosting the opening and affixing in a backyard in the space where 2535 N. Willetts Ct. would be. Bring cash to emblazon and cash to trade for stickers. We’ll be celebrating summer and ice creaming for you screaming."
