This benefit will immerse its audience in a multimedia blend of art, music and film--just as ShowPaper does. The event will reach out to an extended new audience of art enthusiasts while preserving the intimate feel of a typical ShowPaper underground event. Artwork by Kidd Yellin resident artists and special guest art curation will be on exhibit along with a projected, rotating "virtual gallery" of ShowPaper cover art--with works by artists (often with music ties) such as Raymond Pettibon, Bjorn Copeland (Black Dice), Ben Jones (PaperRad), Chris Johanson, Ed Templeton, Mark Mothersbaugh (DEVO), Brian Chippendale (Lightning Bolt), and many other talents. Music videos will be screened between sets, including film from past ShowPaper concerts. The event will truly represent a colorful spectrum of subculture.
ShowPaper is known for raw, no-frills, and affordable underground shows (that support its bi-monthly publication) where art is valued above hype. ShowPaper is brought to life by the front-running tastemakers of the NYC music scene, who first introduced such artists as Vivian Girls, Matt and Kim, Dirty Projectors, Dan Deacon,and Vampire Weekend, and who are relied on by countless young people for their next taste of great and interesting music to be experienced up-close-and-personal. With a circulation of 10,000, ShowPaper is the only publication in the tri-state area to exclusively list all-ages shows, distributed and propagated by a small army of dedicated volunteers. A hub of creative-minded people, it is a community founded on inclusion, meant to inspire the next generation of tastemakers, artists, and musicians. ShowPaper's poster-sized cover art makes brilliant work by emerging artists accessible, and the offbeat and hilarious horoscopes, classic indie rock dating sidebar, "I Saw U," and, of course, music listings, make it a coveted item; ShowPaper is known to quite a few and loved by those who do.
