Original press release:

Brad Benischek has returned to NYC from his home in New Orleans to execute a silkscreen project in collaboration with Print About Me. Inspired by the giant denim 'Trophy' jackets currently on view in 'Ghost City', this printmaking team is inking 60 yards of denim with Benischek’s imagery promoting “tourism during the apocalypse”. 60 YARDS will open Monday evening June 15th, from 6-9pm, at Cathouse FUNeral in a space directly adjacent to Benischek’s installation Ghost City, viewable through June 21 (260 Richardson Street, Brooklyn. Gallery Hours: Sun and Sat 12-6pm). After this exhibition, the 60 yards of denim will be divided in half, 30 yards going to Italy with Print About Me, the other half to New Orleans with Benischek, each will independently design and produce a variety of wearables and trinkets.
