Arthur presents
THE FIRST POPPY SEED SEE-IN
Saturday, March 7, 2009
4 pm
Eat Records
124 Meserole Avenue
Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York
At the First Poppy Seed See-in we will gather together to look into what is called “the hidden dimension of the public sphere.”
For free distribution at the event will be the famous Poppy Seed Programmes: 200 pamphlets containing poppy seeds and illustrated by Michael Curtis Hilde with integral texts by Arthur “Weedeater” columnist/blogger Nance Klehm. Here’s an excerpt from her text:
“The hidden dimension of a public sphere is the sphere of imagination. How we locate disorder and remedy it is how we imagine our body and mind.”
Also available will be silkscreened prints of the Arthurdesh poster signed by artist Arik Roper. Posters are $5.
Come eat, drink, pick up poppies, talk and listen to records– support autonomous local businesses like Eat Records, haven to thinkers, practitioners, artists and free people alike– re-imagine, see-in.
Organized by Michael Curtis Hilde. Poster artwork by MCH.

Is there a reason poppies are being used? Is it because they’re cheapest?
As lovely as poppies are, I’d love to see native Mid-Atlantic plants being reintroduced into urban spaces. Plants like horsemint (Monarda punctata) are drought tolerant and are also a great substitute for oregano.

Whimsy!!!! Oy vey. It has nothing at all to do with being cheap or not. In fact, these ones aren’t cheap. They come from Nance Klehm’s personal collection. And, we’re not looking for a substitute for oregano. We’re looking to do something more important, which is right there in the text.
