Gary Kachadourian Cinder Block Poster
On Sunday afternoon here in Baltimore, Gary Kachadourian stood in an alley selling posters of a cinder block wall for $9.99. The posters, enlargements of a hand-drawn scale rendering, were produced on the artist’s office copy machine. Gary described the copier as “a beautiful machine.”
His pitch: “This poster enables the purchaser to alter his or her living space so that it can feel like a basement, institutional stairwell, laundromat, prison cell, back of shopping center, or other cinder block related space.”
Sounds great to me! Here’s the poster installed in my studio, with “before and after” views:
