On Saturday July 31st 2010, OPEN SPACE gallery and Burlock Home present Electric Windows 2010. 30 artists will converge in Beacon to create live artwork and have their work installed on the exterior of a 19th century factory building.

Ron English is a well-known painter, whose work has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the globe. While his agit-pop paintings hang in galleries around the globe, English has been “liberating” billboards as an outlet for his work and to protest corporate America’s paid self-expression. He has pirated over a thousand billboards over the last twenty years, replacing existing advertisements with his own hand-painted subvertisements.

We are some lucky gals at Dream in Plastic and had the pleasure of meeting the artist himself when he moved to the area! We are also grateful that we were able to hold ourselves together. Managing to not faint in his legendary and super-cool presence, we now bring you a few select items for sale from the personal stock of English himself! A lot of these items are hard to find these days, as they were made in limited amounts and quickly snatched up by Ron fans worldwide.

Check out some of Ron’s creations in person in Beacon, or in the website.

I think this is still a bit surreal to us. Our merch is in, the paint is drying and gallery submissions for the first gallery exhibit are still pouring in. We just wanted to say thank you to all our friends, family and customers who have shared in the chaos and excitement with us.

Please join us next Saturday from 4–9pm at 177 Main Street in Beacon to eat cake and drink champagne to toast the upcoming years of dreaming in plastic!

While we are celebrating our grand opening, Saturday August 8th, we will also be hosting our very first gallery exhibit: Analog.
