Hit+Run live screenprinting event and I Love T’s exhibition
The LA outfit's home T-shirt silkscreening parties have grown quite a bit since 2005.
Overview
If you've never really spent much time contemplating the world of T-shirts, then here's your chance. The Galeries, aMBUSH Gallery and Eddie Zammit (founder of T-world journal) have joined forces to create an event that focuses on that thing you often use to cover the top half of your body: the humble T-shirt. Yes, you've most likely got one on right now, or have a few in your dirty washing pile.
What's this all about then? Well, there will be a T-shirt installation (of 200 T-shirts), an I love T's exhibition (curated by Zammit and aMBUSH Gallery, at Lane Four) and a live screenprinting of T-shirts by 6 designers, including Sydney-based Natalie Wood and Los Angeles outfit HIT+RUN themselves (you can also score one if you're lucky).
For those still struggling to make the link between the words HIT+RUN and T-shirts (fair enough), you need to look at what these two southern Californian lads, Brandy Flower and Mike Crivello, used to do. The small silkscreening parties in their homes seem to have grown quite a bit since 2005.
HIT+RUN runs from 6-9pm on Thursday, September 20. The Lane Four I love T's exhibition runs until November 26.
