DESCRIPTION:Wed. December, 15th  Release Celebration for Stencil Pirates!  with Josh 
 MacPhee  7 PM  FREE!  at the AK Press Warehouse  Stencil Pirates (published 
 by Soft Skull Press) is the most comprehensive book dedicated to the street 
 art of the stencil. The book contains an exhaustive collection of close to 
 1000 photographs from around the globe. The photos show work by hundreds of 
 different artists, exposing the width and breadth of stencil graffiti, from 
 political to abstract and purely aesthetic, from tagging to public 
 announcements. Stencil Pirates offers in-depth writings on the complex 
 history of stencil graffiti, its political context, and how stencils fit 
 into the larger pantheon of street expression. It discusses stenciling as a 
 way for political movements to resist and mark territory, whether as part 
 of gentrification struggles in New York and San Francisco or as part of the 
 general uprising in Argentina over the past couple years.  About the 
 author:  Josh MacPhee's art straddles a number of cultural mediums. He is a 
 street artist, designer, curator, and activist. A street stenciler and 
 poster maker for over a decade, he also runs a radical art distribution 
 project, justseeds.org, as a way to develop and distribute t-shirts, 
 posters, and stickers with revolutionary content. He organizes the 
 Celebrate People's History Poster Project, an ongoing poster series in 
 which different artists create posters to document and remember moments in 
 radical history. He also collectively organizes agit-prop cultural actions 
 with ad-hoc groups of artists under various organizational names such as 
 "Department of Space and Land Reclamation" and "Street.Rec."  Josh will be 
 speaking on the book and presenting a slideshow on the history of street 
 stenciling.  He will be joined by two local local artist/writers, Melissa 
 Klein (author and illustrator of the Inkling zine and editor of the book 
 Looking and Other Stories) and Erick Lyle (editor of the zines SCAM and The 
 Turd-Filled Donut).\n
