As i get older, i find i'm spending more time in art galleries and starting to appreciate some art....but i still live by Lux's view of art...'I don't know about art, but I know what I like. I'll be surfing on the swamp on a saturday night" . And i imagine that many of you garagepunkers here on the hideout might share Lux's view.
But here's some art and an exhibit that you might appreciate. It's right here in sleepy London Ontario, about 200 cornfields west of Toronto. It's an exhibit by Raymond Pettibon, brother of Gregg Ginn of Black Flag. Raymond is the guy behind the scenes who created the iconic Black Flag logo that has been 'borrowed' by many. It's the 4 vertical black bars...you've all seen it. Raymond also did TONS of punk posters, LP covers, fliers etc back in the day.
The exhibit is here in sleepy London Ontario at the McIntosh Gallery: September 27 – November 3.
The McIntosh Gallery is located inconveniently on the Western University campus at the north end of town. If you're coming from out of town for this one, it would be best to come on the weekend when there are fewer students on campus.
Opening night gala happens Thursday Sept 27th, right as Radio What Wave ends for the evening (7:30 PM EST) and we blast from the Western University campus...someone musta planned that just for me!!!! Fuck, might even have a TV Party that night!! Or better yet a 6 Pack!!!
Here's some details for ya:
