news

Without a permanent physical space, 
general store contemporary leaps 
and bounds to create events, 
exhibitions and situations exploring
the cross over of sound and visual
components. We hope that what we
represent, discover and transcend
is in a constant state of flux
portraying the important to what
is contemporary, fresh and 
innovative. The identity appears 
and disappears, occupying basements, 
garages, apartment rooms, bars, 
clubs even courtyards for a period 
of time. It is everywhere and 
nowhere at the same time.
