POSTERMAT was a fantastic shop on E 8th street in the Village where kids in the 80s and 90s got the best punk, indie, impossible-to-find posters for their teenage bedrooms. We never got to see what this place was like, and since we couldn’t even find images anywhere, we decided to recreate what we think this grungy haven might have looked like in our gallery for a new generation of underground weirdos to experience. Posters everywhere! Racks all around the room, slapping back and forth, pins, stickers and patches, music and more. If you remember the old Postermat, come tell us if we got it right! Bring photos if you have them too!!!
The idea for this exhibition came from artist Aaron Bondaroff at dinner this past summer. A-ron frequented Postermat as a kid and helped us develop the feel of the show. The exhibition was made possible by generous support from LEVIS and in partnership with Proof 7 the best new printers in New York City.
