Urban Decay: A Carnival of Custom Vinyl and Lowbrow Art Exhibition, April 28-May 9

The Workhouse will show their first pop surrealism, or “lowbrow” exhibition, Urban Decay: A Carnival of Custom Vinyl and Lowbrow Art, April 28-May 9 in Gallery W-16.

This exhibit will focus on the aesthetic of urban low-brow art: a widespread populist art movement with origins in the underground comic world, punk music, hot-rod street culture, graffiti and other subcultures.  Lowbrow art often has a sense of humor - sometimes the humor is gleeful, sometimes impish, and sometimes it's a sarcastic comment. Urban Decay will feature thirteen designers, along with art submitted by local artists who have created “designer toys” out of vinyl, plastic or other materials. 

Join us on Friday, April 30 for a screening of the film New Brow at 7pm. You can view the trailer in full by clicking HERE!

Then, on Saturday, May 1 don’t miss the Urban Decay opening reception from 7pm-12am featuring live music, demonstrations and refreshments.

Date(s): 4/28/2010 to 5/9/2010

Venue: Gallery Building 2nd Floor
