Trunk Show

Trunk Show A mobile exhibition space (usually) located in Chicago showing commissioned artist bumper stickers.

Each month, artists were commissioned to design limited edition bumper stickers which lived, rode along with and helped propel a medium beat-up forest green Ford Taurus owned by Raven Falquez Munsell and Jesse Malmed.
