-- -- This just in: JSH has acquired the historic Cinderblock Gallery on Main street in Louisville, and is now its sole owner, operator, and curator. Although JSH has yet to announce it on his website, we doublechecked the rumor with him personally via e-mail today. Plans are to create a second gallery within the building, to double the amount of exhibitions that will go on there.

It's a grandiose installation that consists of hiding plastic easter eggs (filled with JSH's personal brand of strangeness) all over several American cities including Chicago and St.Louis among others.
