This collective post art campaign, originally launched in lockdown ahead of the 2020 election, stirred tens of thousands of people to create and contribute to the public art movement, supporting USPS in the process, and all the while reminding and mobilizing people to vote. Mothersbaugh and Wolfe received postcards from every part of the U.S. (and across the world) with the ever-growing collection first exhibited at the Rauschenberg Gallery before a selection of the art went into the Smithsonian. Such a chord was struck that post art is still being received today four years on!

    Audience w/V. Vale hosted by Beatie Wolfe & Aaron Rose

    An audience with Counterculture Godfather & Punk Publisher V. Vale hosted by Beatie Wolfe and Aaron Rose on Sunday April 16th at The Aster, Los Angeles. Listen to this OJ special x LA event celebrating the life and work of one of this world’s true originals: RE/Search founder V. Vale – described as the first (and last!) punk publisher! After launching San Francisco’s first punk zine Search & Destroy in 1977 with $100 each from Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Vale founded RE/Search in 1980 for his other cultural-anthropological explorations including Industrial music, the writings of J.G. Ballard and William S. Burroughs, feminism, “Incredibly Strange” filmmaking and so much more. A cornerstone of the counterculture movement, Vale’s influence remains both all-pervasive and yet hidden in plain sight. This event includes a conversation between Vale, Aaron Rose and Beatie Wolfe; a live DJ set from Money Mark on tape cassettes; a reading of Vale’s cat haikus and “Goals for Life” and a live performance from Vale and Marian.
