Guy Bérubé of La Petite Mort Gallery (pictured with me here; he's the bald one) has built himself a reputation as a no-bullshit straight shooter. And the latest public call he's sending around is gonna cement that rep even more. Here it is, verbatim, stolen from Artlist. I'm not hyping the event; I find this thing to be flat-out hilarous:

To all frustrated artists & hungry art buyers...

HIT & RUN Flash Group Exhibit @ La Petite Mort Gallery

Are you sick & tired of all those mean gallery owners with all the endless demands?? ...
deadlines, artists' statements, images of your artwork, dimensions, medium, shipping ...

gggrrrrr... so annoying, aren't they?
Why are they so mean & pushy...

Well, we offer a crazy-ass opportunity to all of you to come in on Friday October 23 @ La Petite Mort Gallery during the day, drop off artwork that you have to sell, & you must be present @ the vernissage that night from 7-10pm and shamelessly self-promote.

DROP OFF ARTWORK BETWEEN 11AM TO 6PM. (on the day of the exhibit)
MUST HAVE YOUR NAME AND PRICE READY.
MUST BE PRESENT AT OPENING NIGHT.
MUST TAKE YOUR WORK HOME THAT NIGHT.
ANY TYPE OF ART ACCEPTED...

We offer a cool space, some atmosphere, funky tunes & refreshments. You just be there and meet potential buyers.

Commission to the gallery is 50%.
If it doesn't sell, you take it home that night.
Nothing is left at the gallery. The goal is to meet people, have fun, and sell.
Buyers welcome.

YOU CAN EVEN BRING ART YOU DIDN'T DO... CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?

No need to rsvp, no bios, no jpgs of ur work, no nothing.
No artwork accepted via mail.
You can bring no more than 3 pieces.
Must have the pieces identified by artist and reasonable price.

EVERYONE WELCOME.

If you buy, take it with you immediately.
No sales held at gallery while you go get laid.

Be there or be square.

Peace out.

Guy Berube, director
La Petite Mort Gallery
