an archival business card for: KAYROCK SCREENPRINTING – ca. summer 2003<\/p>\n
KAYROCK SCREENPRINTING and EXPLODING SKY have a few thing in common.
\n1. they are both talented silkscreen shops run by 2 partners who know each other from very early on. Kayrock and Wolfy are friends from very early teen days.
\n Mark & Matt Enger are twin brothers. <\/p>\n
2. they both have the dubious claim ‘to fame’ of being the only 2 rejects from the DANIEL SILVERSTEIN ‘ONE HUNDRED ARTISTS – ONE HUNDRED T SHIRTS’ of Summer 2003.<\/p>\n
The KAYROCK SCREENPRINT submission was banned from the show on the grounds that it was: … get this !!! .. “too political” !!! – that’s a direct quote (Danny Silverstein).<\/p>\n
KAYROCK were good sports, they (and their) friends came to the opening in the banned T-shirts, anyways.<\/p>\n
The photo of their friend EMILY, in their ‘FUCK BUSH’ t-shirt, below, was published in
in artnet, at the time, and then was picked up by BLACK BOOK.
\nWhen we recently caught up with them at the FLIP BOOK PARTY , they said there was a new resurgence of interest in the t-shirt lately.<\/p>\n
