Laumeier Sculpture Park: Saturday, 11 October 2008
Acclaimed artist and filmmaker, John Waters unleashes his quirky world in survey exhibition at Laumeier Sculpture Park.
Laumeier Sculpture Park presents Artistically Incorrect: The Photographs and Sculpture of John Waters which opens October 11, 2008 at 6 p.m. Internationally-acclaimed director, filmmaker, entertainer and artist John Waters will bring his quirky insights to Laumeier for an exhibition that promises to be nothing short of spectacular. The solo exhibition of 65 works in the indoor galleries offers a combination of photographs, montages, and sculptures, that challenge, confound and entertain.
John Waters is most often recognized for his films. He has written, directed, produced and acted in more than a dozen motion pictures. From his early underground cult classics to the latest iteration of Hairspray, Waters' films are full of twists and quirks. Those same characteristics permeate his life and career. Since the early 1990s Waters has been making photo-based artwork, sculpture and installations. This work is just as edgy, informed and full of dark humor as his films and has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the world.
Immediately following the public opening, Laumeier is hosting a fundraising cocktail party - Socially Incorrect: A Night of Contradictions with John Waters.
Artistically Incorrect: The Photographs and Sculpture of John Waters opens October 11, 2008 at Laumeier Sculpture Park with a free public reception from 6-8 p.m. and continues through January 11, 2009.
The park is open daily from 8 a.m. until ½ hour past sunset. Museum hours are: Tuesday-Friday 10:00 AM-5:00 PM and Saturday-Sunday 12:00 PM-5:00 PM (Free).The museum is closed on Mondays and legal holidays. For more information, call 314-821-1209 or visit us at www.laumeier.org.
