This is the first episode of LO-FI SAINT LOUIS for the new Spring '08 season.This episode features Monte Beauchamp, artist and curator of Blab Magazine and other publications. He was in St. Louis last fall for the launch of the latest issue of that wonderful annual publication of Blab. If you don't know Blab, you should. It's a collection of artists published lovingly in a magazine only once a year and each issue is kicked off with a gallery opening of work from the book. This past issue was launched at the Philip Slein Gallery right here in our own little city of St. Louis. Beauchamp has published several other books as well. You can get them all from Fantagraphic Books.Also in this episode, you will get a sneak peek at some other things that I've been up to as well as a preview of the next episode of LO-FI SAINT LOUIS.This is a new design for the site and there are still some bugs and kinks to be worked out. I'm working on it so be patient, please! Thanks!
