Rich Jacobs’ Minor Threat Billboard
Rich Jacobs is currently showing at the recently re-launched Paul Bright Gallery in Toronto, Canada. For nearly two decades, Jacobs has been supporting the arts through numerous humble efforts, including zines, a record label, and his curated series of Move group shows (which recently celebrated its 18th installment alongside New Image Art’s 15 year anniversary). The focal point of Jocobs’ new exhibit is Minor Threat Billboard, a large-scale family tree tracing the history of the legendary D.C. band. Here the hardcore punk scene and its DIY community act as Jacobs’ muse. According to Paul Bright, “Rich’s efforts to document and showcase the art and music of a generation of artists who are difficult to categorize, is arguably unrivalled. Now is the time when his own work needs the attention of this generation, because whether we know it or not, they have been influence by Rich’s unique taste and pure unfettered artistic sensibility.”
