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!
Saturday 6pm to 10pm
Postcard Diaries - The Visual Works of Mark Mothersbaugh (of DEVO fame)
Opening Reception: January 12th, 2008 6-10pm
with a live video conference with Mark Mothersbaugh from 8-9pm
l’art Noir New Orleans
4108 St. Claude Avenue (between Mazant and France)
New Orleans, LA 70117
Tel: 504.324.2489
During his downtime on early worldwide tours with DEVO, Mark Mothersbaugh began illustrating on postcards to send to his friends and family, which he still creates, and has been creating every day for over 30 years. It’s an obsessive habit/hobby, which still yields anywhere from one to a couple dozen new postcard-sized images per day.
Mark has archived nearly all the original postcard-sized works, filed neatly in spiral-bound folders at his home in Hollywood, CA. It is an astonishingly obsessive collection of private thoughts featuring Mark’s plethora of provoking and unusual imagery.
The 2008 Gallery Tour features high-resolution, limited edition prints of Mark’s works. Each original postcard diary sketch is scanned and altered especially for the tour, often with the addition of text, digital effects, photos, etc. each customized image is printed on quality archival Lysonic paper in a very limited edition (usually editions of 3-20, each embossed and signed by the artist.) Mark archives one of each print edition for his own archives, which further limits distribution of each postcard diary print.
While Mark will not be able to attend the show in person due to DEVO rehearsals in Los Angeles, l’art Noir will be conducting a live video conference with Mark during the opening reception.
One of the founding members of the St. Claude Arts District, l’art Noir’s opening reception will coincide with other St. Claude Arts District galleries, including Farrington-Smith Gallery and Barrister’s Gallery. The St. Claude Arts District holds openings the second Saturday of every month.
