F My Life: Your Everyday Stories Live in 2D!

admin — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:00:45 +0000

F My Life: Your Everyday Stories Live in 2D!, a fun, interactive art show featuring creative interpretations of other people’s problems (from the website F My Life), takes place on September 9 at 7pm at HPHQ (30 Cheney St). A slew of local artists have hand-picked their favorite FML post to visually re-create…and the results are AWESOME!

Here are some FML quotes to get you stoked for this week’s F my Life Opening Reception!

Today, my roommate informed me that he took a bet to not shower or bathe until Christmas. The bet is for five bucks. FML

Today, my mom put some bubblewrap on my desk because she thought I would have fun with it. I’m 18. It was awesome. FML

Today, Michael Jackson died. FML

Today, I was on my way home when I saw a cop hiding behind a Budget truck. I immediately slowed down and prayed that he wouldn’t give me a ticket. Then I realized I was walking. FML

Today, I had to go to the police station to pick up my 42 year old dad. Why? He was caught stealing candy. FML

Opening reception will be October 22 at 6 p.m., where we will be doing a collaborative printmaking activity with some of our friends at Oxbow Press–you are all invited to help out! At the reception, the final print of the series will be released–a beautiful screen print done by Omar Pierce on xray film.

Thanks again for your help in making this project a success! The good news is that there will be a new set of Editions being created for next year! Information on the line-up of artists coming soon….
