The following is a chronological list of select projects produced by Armpit: A Roving Street Gallery:

Slurs, Blurs, Recent Renderings, and Other Devices
431 Gallery, Indianapolis, Indiana
April 3, 1992 through April 25, 1992.

Over the course of a 2 week period, Armpit: RSG members, Jesse Bercowetz and Chester Alamo-Costello, produced and installed a large autoschediastic photo-painting measuring 9 by 108 feet while collaborating with the general public. The eclectic, contentious and seemingly random imagery was taken from the fringes of their Midwestern American experiences and included biker tattoos, alien spaceship encounters, personalised license plates, muscle-bound female wrestlers and fragmented stall-writings. The exhibition culminated with a live performance by Jamie Vitro & the Psychic Cannibals. A video interview on the exhibition can be viewed at: 431 Gallery - Slurs Blurs, Recent Renderings & Other Devices.

Urban Totems
1400 South Wabash Avenue, Chicago, Illinois
August 5 through November 15, 1994.

Working with local refuse, power-tools, house paint, and an assortment of found objects, Armpit: RSG transformed the vacant lots on the west side of 1400 South Wabash into a temporary sculpture garden. Over a four week period, the area, frequently considered an eyesore, functioned as a cooperative space where persons were asked to interact with the works by adding to or taking items from the site. The Urban Totems were eventually demolished and replaced by a three-story condominium.

Boogie
700 to 1200 block of South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL
February 25, 1995 - 6 a.m. to 7 a.m.

Armpit: RSG members tacked "Boogie" posters on every vacant building in the South Loop of Chicago. This action was prompted in response to the increased number of unused spaces in the city’s near south side while rents were rising at an exceeding fast rate, therefore displacing artists and musicians further from the city’s center.

Red Arm Chair Movement
Armpit: RSG Studio, West 500 Cermak Avenue, #401, Chicago, IL
October 10, 1994 - 9:02 p.m. to October 14, 1994 - 9:26 p.m.

For over 96 hours, Armpit members interacted with a red folding card-table chair through lifting, passing, sitting, humping, scratching, standing, and eventually destroying the principle article connecting each of the collective's members. This group action was seen as at the precursor for Armpit: R.S.G.’s eventual dissolution.

The Walks
#1, 52 miles, Bloomington, Indiana to Indianapolis, Indiana 1993
#2, 120 miles, Indianapolis, Indiana to Cincinnati, Ohio 1993
#3, 298 miles, Chicago, Illinois to St. Louis, Missouri 1995 

Five Finger Discount
Wicker Park, Chicago, IL,
September 16, 1995

Armpit members produced a 'barrio' ice cream pushcart and gave rides to any individual willing to take a survey addressing the gentrification occurring in the neighborhood of Wicker Park. Over the course of 5 hours, 38 persons completed the journey while bringing automobile and foot traffic to a standstill at Damen, Milwaukee and North Avenue. In response to this action, Dr. Jim Norland organised a group of medical students to protest this Armpit performance. Shortly after midnight the Chicago Police Department disbanded the troupe's effort.

Head Joys
Armpit: RSG Studio, 500 West Cermak Avenue, #401
Chicago, IL 60616, September 30 through October 1, 1995

A series of projection portraits of each Armpit: RSG member was made using materials from previous projects. Each member selected an image from one of the Armpit’s past projects. The image was then projected on the member and a portrait was made as he or she recounted the event while being audio recorded. The portraits and recordings were presented as part of the Outside In exhibition at the Riverside Arts Center in 1996.

Framed Movements
Armpit: RSG Studio, West 500 Cermak Avenue, #401, Chicago, IL
May 16 and 17, 1995 - 8:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m.

Through the use of red electrical tape, a pair of torn blue jeans, an empty Polish dill pickle jar, 6 oz. of Prussian blue acrylic paint, 4 rolls of packing tape, 6 oz. of cadmium red acrylic paint, a pair of green cut-offs, a slide projector with 24 random abstract slides, a spray bottle, 2 white t-shirts, 18 Budweiser beers, a pair of blue flip-flops, 6 quarts of water, 6 oz. of yellow hansa acrylic paint, 420 minutes of death metal contrasted with country music performed by Hank Williams Sr., numerous paint brushes, 6 oz. of cobalt blue acrylic paint, 14 loose strips of lumber, a cheap frame spray-painted gold, and a 5-foot-7-inch caucasian male, it was found that nothing worthwhile can truly get accomplished.

Heroic Efforts
Museum of Contemporary Photography
A Cornerstone Window Installation
November 15, 1997 – January 10, 1998

For the final Armpit: A Roving Street Gallery project, Jesse Bercowetz and Chester Alamo-Costello created this window installation to examine how the commodification of high art is impacted by recontextualization. Using appropriation and satire we commented on how commercialised constructs perpetuate the “Artist as Hero” myth in the art world. In addition to the interior installation where seminal pieces by Mathew Barney, the Chapman Brothers, Jeff Koons, among others were reinterpreted, artworks (keychains with images of Bercowetz and myself) hung on the exterior windows for the casual passerby to take, free of charge.
