Sunday, 03 June 2001 | There goes the neighborhood

Stef and Matt are officially back in town, after spending more than a year in the desert. Friday night Stef showed us what the dry heat drove her to do: make twisted suburban flags. (Here is an example of a traditional suburban flag.) Her and Michael's project There Goes the Neighborhood: Suburban Flag Appropriation debuted Friday at Lump Gallery in downtown Raleigh. So of course I went opening night and I was pleased to find flags that looked convincingly suburban apart from the content: a butterfly with a skull head, a gas mask, a danger! electrocution illustration, a dog relieving itself, etc. If I can find some pictures, I'll be sure to post them.
