Punchclock









Punchclock is a transdisciplinary, democratic organization of cultural workers, political activists and trades people operating out of two hives functioning as collective metal and screen printing studios.

Punchclock mandates are economic sustainability and artistic direct action. Punchclock produces aesthetically defiant graphic design, video, poster, sculpture, performance, installation, textile and street art. Punchclock's efforts challenge conventional, isolating and competitive models of professional art careers. Punchclock exists not for wealthy collectors or insular art patrons, but as an essential element to a healthy and dynamic community.

Begun in 2003 by activists Shannon Muegge and Stefan Pilipa the abundance of talent that currently inflames the collective consists of the following individuals.

Rocky Dobey - Metal worker, artist, street installation legend.
Simone Schmidt - activist, artist, musician (100 dollars, LSdoubleDcup).
Jesjit Gill - print artist.
Michael Comeau - artist, musician (LSdoubleDcup).
Will Munro - artist, DJ, promoter, restauranteur.
Christopher Cook - carpenter, musician (LSdoubleDcup).
Fancy Gordon Zero - carpenter, artist.
Kids on TV - multimedia collective, dancefloor destroyers.
