Mad Art Gallery: Friday, 4 November 2011
The Mad Art Gallery is proud to present the fifth installment of the annual Famous Fictional art show, which opens on the evening of Friday, November 4th, 2011 continuing until November 24th by appointment.
The Montagues vs. The Capulets in Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet. The Atreides vs. The Harkonnens in Frank Herbert’s novel Dune (or David Lynch’s film). The DiMeras vs The Bradys in the soap opera Days of Our Lives. As long as there has been fiction, there have been families. And as long as there have been fictional families, there have been family feuds.
Over 30 artists will be making two portraits of families from literature, cinema, and television, and hanging them side-by-side in direct competition. There will be families of all kinds: functional, dysfunctional, historic, futuristic, human, animal, non-traditional, nuclear. What happens when Donald Duck’s cartoon brood faces off against the Brothers Karamazov? Or when the Swiss Family Robinson goes head-to-head against their Lost in Space counterparts? SURVEY SAYS: You have to see to find out!
Famous Fictional assembles a diverse family of St. Louis-based artists from the fields of illustration, comics, photography, printmaking, graphic design and tattoo art. Artists include Amanda Mueller, Anchovy, Bob Hartzell, Brian Cummings, RJ Shay, Brian Yap, Courtney Kennedy, Denny Smith, Drew Crowley, Mary Frances Foster, Jenny Cimino, Jessica Robtoy, Leslie Townley, Katie Fischer, Charlene & Matt Kindt, Matt Reedy, Monica Heitz, Nathan Poetzscher, Nick Main, Noah McMillan, Rob Brooks, Ron Weaver, Ryan Doggendorf, Sam Washburn, Thomas Plunk and more.
The show is once again being curated by host Dan Zettwoch, who promises to be a fair arbiter amongst all families feuding and not kiss any of the female contestants before moving on to the fast money round. A free, opening reception will be held on Friday, November 4, 2010, from 7:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. Cash bar available.
