Oh, fliers are like the prehistoric version of internet spam. A submission by Jonathan Gitelson displays the collection of fliers he received from parking near club venues in Chicago. A little blurb from his artist statement:


I began collecting the fliers from my car and from the sidewalk around my home. By January of 2005, I had collected over 1000 fliers, enough to cover my entire car. I spent three months hand-sewing the fliers together to create a car cover and have photographed the car, with car cover, parked in front of the clubs from whom I had received fliers.

“The Car Project� was completed in December of 2005 and consists of eight large-scale photographs. Each exhibition print is digitally printed at 40� X 50� which allows the viewer to read the individual fliers within each photograph.

Keep those submissions rolling in. Deadline is August 15 at 6pm EST!
