Found at the Bulletin Board Cafe

The Bulletin Board Cafe has been open for slightly more than 3 weeks, and I thought that it would interesting for those of you living outside of Lexington to see what kinds of things have been left on the board. The intent of the project was to encourage immediate local dialogue about any event, activity, interest, project, business, etc. occurring within the community. It was not intended to serve any particular group but its incarnation as a temporary installation within the confines of a contemporary arts space has created a perhaps inevitable dynamic. The board has primarily served as a physical space for visual artists to come and post things they are working on and to receive feedback (critique and praise) about their most recent efforts. It demonstrates a need for physical exhibition space in the Downtown Lexington area – and perhaps more significantly – a need for critical dialogue concerning local working artists. There is a tremendous need for critical debate, writing and scholarship and this temporary public space visually attests to that need. The Bulletin Board Cafe will be open through January 9, and I encourage anyone within 100 miles of Lexington, Kentucky to make the drive to post something on the board and have an ALE-8-ONE while you’re here.
