American Artifact chronicles the rise of American rock poster art since its birth in the '60s.
Director Merle Becker crosses the country interviewing rock poster artists from the different eras to discover that America is currently in the midst of a 21st century "rock poster art movement", where thousands of artists around the country are doing silk screened rock poster art inspired by their local scene, the music of our time, and the spirit of our era.
The film features interviews with renown artists including Stanley Mouse, Victor Moscoso, Frank Kozik, Art Chantry, EMEK, Tara McPherson, Derek Hess, COOP, Jay Ryan, and more, as well as fans, collectors, and musicians.
The Hudson Valley premiere involves a movie screening, screen printing kit giveaways, Q & A with the director, and after-party at the uber-groovy Wherehouse Restaurant (119 Liberty Street) with hors d'oeuvres. Sponsored by the Wherehouse Restaurant, and Newburgh Art Supply. Tickets available in advance at: www.AmericanArtfactMovie.com, or at the door.
