The first-ever traveling solo exhibition of The Yes Men, *KEEP IT SLICK*presents The Yes Men’s body of work including their elaborate costumes fabricated for their bold interventions, slapstick videos and PowerPoint presentations at business conferences, outrageous posters and props, scripts, sketches, research materials and selected publications and ephemera from their personal collections. *KEEP IT SLICK, Infiltrating Capitalism with The Yes Men* is curated by Astria Suparak, organized by the Feldman Gallery at Pacific Northwest College of the Arts and the Miller Gallery at Carnegie Mellon University. The KEEP IT SLICK Exhibition Catalogue and Activity Book is for sale at Glass Curtain Gallery and ShopColumbia. *RELATED PROGRAMMING: Artists-in-Residence* The Yes Men are the 2010-2011 Critical Encounters Artists-in-Residence at Columbia College Chicago and will offer their Yes Lab program on campus.
