CURATORIAL PROJECT & Exhibition

309 Punk Project & The Polaroid Kidd Selections from the Archives Exhibit on view at Good Children Gallery in New Orleans, LA April 9, 2022 - May 8, 2022 Mike Brodie began hopping trains while living at “309” in Pensacola, FL. The former punk house has since turned into an Artist in Residence Program and Punk Archive called the 309 Punk Project. Brodie has traveled across the US since 2004, photographing the subcultures he encounters, amassing a collection of images largely of punks, train-hoppers, vagabonds, squatters, hobos, and truckers. Brodie’s work depicts a moving narrative of his life behind the camera, along with the loving and unapologetic view of his subjects in mediums that teeter on the brink of extinction. 309 Punk Project and Brodie have worked together to bring the viewing audience a compelling retrospective of his work and a collection of art and ephemera from their collective histories. |

This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb was a band whose members lived at 309. They wrote a song called Memoirs from the Secret Spot.
"I can see your house from here, at night it lights up the whole hill. The taxi driver know where to take me. To your house, we drive by your house five times. From here I can see the water tower. The Taxi driver knows where to take me. To the water tower. We drive by the water tower five times."
This song inspired a tattoo that many Pensacola punks have inked on their bodies. We put out a call on Instagram asking Pensacola punks to send us images of their tattoos. Each tat is as unique as the punk who wears it. It is dedicated to Steve Winfrey.

URBAN WILD: Folk and Street Art in The South
May 10, 2019- October 26, 2019
Alabama Contemporary Art Center, Mobile, AL
Sean Linezo created an art installation inspired from the 309 Archive including works titled: Statues Also Die (A.K.A You Are Beautiful, Cops Can’t Dance, Stop the War and Eat the Rich, Indian Killer) and Musical Chairs Mosh Pit.
Urban Wild is an exhibition that looks for the diversity of art that is practiced throughout the streets, highways, and dirt roads of the South. Taking engagement with public space as the only cue–object making, visual art, collecting, public sculpture and installation abound. These artists draw from graffiti, tattoo, skate, and hip-hop culture, as well as comic book illustration, pop art, folk art, and even old-fashioned sign painting. The traditional dividing lines between high and low art forms are non-existent. This exhibition aims to capture the breadth and diversity of art that makes public place its forum, as the Southern Street becomes a stage and canvas all its own.
Curated by our newly appointed Director of Exhibitions, elizabet elliott, Alabama Contemporary Art Center has enlisted 38 artists from a number of disciplines whose work reflects the social environment, culture, and sub-cultures of life in the South. Artists hail from all over the South, up to and including our own backyard.
