Watch the new video documentary "200 Lincolns"

200 Lincolns Art Exhibit Presented by The Chicago Art Department
Featuring the artwork of 200 Chicago Artists
A Documentary by JaGoFF

This is the video from the "200 Lincolns" exhibit that JaGoFF took part in at The Chicago Art Department last month. With all of the planning that we had to do for the Promoters' Ordinance panel disussion for last week's event at Old Town School, we kind of fell behind on the editing for the art exhibit documentary video. Nonetheless, here it is. The video covers both the set-up party and opening night festivities. JaGoFF had two pieces in the exhibit, which you can view here. We also posted the photos of the evening which you are free to view. Enjoy.

Documented here are:
(00:00 - 12:32) CAD: Art Drop off/Set-up party on Feb 6th
(12:33 - 31:46) CAD: Opening Night Reception/Art Exhibit on Feb 13th

Background Story:
In comemmoration of Abraham Lincoln's Bicentennial Birthday, the Chicago Art Department invited the creative community to submit 200 pieces of Lincoln inspired work. The walls, floor and ceilings of CAD were dripping with Abe and an Abe in every medium: skateboard art, video installments, commemorative stamps, modified dunnies, a crucified Abe, a recreated Mutoscope (circa 1895) and even an Abe of the edible variety.

This documentary includes several artist interviews and overall set-up and party footage. Many thanks to everyone who participated. The night was amazing.

Special thanks to the amazing folks at:
