Posada observed the city from the window of his street corner studio, as he produced broadsides and periodicals to be circulated in the streets. In these, Posada trafficked in a \u201cmacabre populism,\u201d giving his audience what they wanted\u2014disasters, freaks of nature, social scandals and scenes of fantastical and everyday violence. It was a vision of an unstable and violent world but also an act of honoring the daily struggle of living. For this exhibition, a group of artists have created limited edition prints and another group has contributed to a limited edition newsprint tabloid publication, keeping in mind Posada and his presence in the city as a \u201cmacabre populist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>CHASING POSADA:\u00a0A Macabre Populist in the City<\/em> is a <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/rotlandpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rotland Press<\/a><\/strong> Exposition and is curated by<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ryanstandfest.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Ryan Standfest<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Featured Artists:<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariepierrebrunel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Marie-Pierre Brunel<\/a>\u00a0\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dlectricity.com\/about\/2012-exhibition\/artists\/tom-carey\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tom Carey<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/robertcavanagh.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Stephen Cavanagh<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artnet.com\/artists\/sue-coe\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sue Coe<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/billconnors.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bill Connors<\/a> \/<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dbdowd.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"> D.B.
