CRAZY 4 CULT II RECAP

08.25.08

By: Josh Holland

On Friday night Gallery 1988 opened the second annual “Crazy 4 Cult” show, hosted by infamous film director Kevin Smith. The show’s theme centers around a list of films affectionately known as cult classics, and features artists as varied as the films they represented. Some notable participants include Shepard Fairey, Jim Mahfood, Chet Zar, Plasticgod, Reuben Rude, Camilla D’Errico and Shannon Bonatakis. I did not have the pleasure of attending, but the show can be seen online in its entirety HERE.

Smith made sure to snatch up every single piece that featured his film alter ego Silent Bob, hopefully not to look at himself, but to support those artists that have supported his film career all these years… Yup, that’s what I’m going with. Love me some smodcast. Rumor has it that Weird Al will be hosting next year, look for UHF to dominate.

The following are some snippets of my favorite pieces from this show. Enjoy!

10 THINGS U SHOULD KNOW - cypher13

08.25.08

By: Todd Berger

Getting our piece down to Andenken for the Manifest Hope Gallery exhibit, was quite possibly more difficult than designing and constructing it.  Somehow, through a great deal of planning and much energy expended it arrived safely.  The concept behind the piece was to present the first ten amendments, more commonly referred to as the Bill of Rights, in a new and contemporary manner.  While it is a bit of a hulking monster, we really felt that provoking interactivity was the key to awakening a general lack of awareness.  An awareness inherent to being American - knowing your rights.  George Bush has systematically stripped our rights away.  We’ve chosen to endorse Barack Obama as the man to keep them in check, restore what’s been lost and lead our nation into a new and prosperous future. We hope you like our concept.  And, if you know, and enjoy your rights - Vote for Obama this coming November.  Either way - stop by Manifest Hope and check out the unprecedented body of work created in honor of Mr. Obama.
