The Show 'n Tell Show

Sunday / September 6th

9pm @ Schubas

ALWAYS FREE

We're pleased to another edition of Chicago's first and only Live Talk Show centered around design.
The Show 'n Tell Show

Don’t you think graphic design is boring?

Although the industry has
never experienced such mass cultural awareness—
Helvetica in the movies,
a movement to ban Comic-Sans, personalizing our apartments
with
screen-printed ephemera and torsos with personally curated
t-shirts—
every public design panel, conference and gathering is a
self-congratulating snooze-fest.

Well not anymore, my friend.

We’re pleased to announce another edition of Chicago’s first and only live talk show
centered around design. The Show 'n Tell Show
is a late night-style show where the guests
are the city’s most dynamic
designers, photographers, illustrators and poster-makers.
They each
present a single project in a lively evening full of drinks, laughs and
design.

After a year at The Whistler, due to over-capacity at
the last few shows, we’re moving on
over to Schuba’s. Accordingly, the
show will be bigger and badder than ever, in Schubas
beautiful
performance space.

The next show is our best yet. Guests include:

Ivan Brunetti (Schizo, Fantagraphics)
Billy Bauman (Delicious Design League, live from Flatstock Seattle)
123 Clap (Members of the M’s, video/music experiments)
Jeremiah Chiu & Renata Graw (Plural)
Ross Zietz (Threadless)
Davey Sommers (The Post Family)
Elaine Fong (Elaine Fong Design)

See You There.

The Show ‘n Tell Show is hosted by designers Michael Renaud and Zach
Dodson. But they would never show without SpokesMom, the spokesmodel
that is also your mom. She provides clueless commentary and blind
encouragement to the guests, as well as comic relief from design that
takes itself too seriously.

Rather than a gallery show, or
some mega-design conference, the Show ‘n Tell Show truly provides a
space for designers to talk about what they do, and what they love:
design. The focus is on the work. And admission is FREE. It was almost
named “Just two dudes, talkin’ design.”

Past guests have
included design mainstays like Threadless, The Post Family,
Sonnenzimmer, Jay Ryan, and Coudal. The Show features every stripe of
creative cat: graphic and motion designers, photographers, art
directors, illustrators, graphic novelists, artists, and screen
printers included. The most innovative minds in the city come to ‘show
and tell’ about their best projects. From detailing process, to
revealing pet projects to blowing off steam about nightmare clients,
the work is always amazing, and never boring.

video clips, visual puns and Michael Renaud taking book design to the
street!
