OFFICIAL NEIGHBORHOOD WARNING: unseen youth organizations may interfere with scheduled kitten operations. Another dispatch from Louisville’s unofficial department of confusing public information. These hand-painted signs appeared around town for years, dressed like advertisements or urgent announcements while refusing to communicate anything remotely useful. This one became memorable enough that people were still quoting it after the wall changed and the piece disappeared. The artist eventually carried the same crooked relationship with language into Louisville galleries, but the street versions had the better delivery system: no explanation, no invitation, just a completely authoritative-looking message waiting beside your commute to derail your train of thought.
