SKIP WILLIAMSON, CHRISTINA GUSEK & THE SUBLIMATOR
Opening Reception: Saturday April 12th, 6:00pm - 11:00pm
Art by Skip Williamson and Christina Gusek, Performance by The Subliminator
“Artist Skip Williamson, (is) one of the beloved granddaddies of the nihilistic underground comics movement… Trippier than a sheet of windowpane acid, and often more political than compatriots like R. Crumb, Williamson also invented the “Playboy Funnies” section of America’s favorite lad mag.”
- Diablo Cody (Academy Award winning author of the film “Juno”.)
Chris Gusek, an artist originally from western Massachusetts. Her work is disquieting, willfully scatological and morbidly uncivilized. She’s obsessive/compulsive, a fan of Heavy Metal and her art is like Yellow Submarine meets Charles Manson if Charles Manson were female.
The Subliminator was found in a state of suspended animation in an abandoned crate by spacerock guitar ace John Pack in 2002. Col. Pack immediately installed him in his band Spaceseed, America’s premier spacerock band. He will be playing no less than five optical theramins this evening!
