Shoebox Gallery opening, waffle intervention, a flag, a poem, a parade.

Above: From the pages of GOOD to the streets of MPLS, Powderhorn claims the Chicago-Lake intersection! Jenny Schmid, whose opening graced Sean Smuda’s Shoebox Gallery, stands just behind the flag in an appropriate shade of red for May Day. Image from one of two new Geotypografika Flickr sets, Shoebox Gallery 2010 and May Day 2010. An exhilarating day.
