Crazy for Cult art show devoted to cult films
Here’s a show that promises to be pretty awesome if you’re in LA. Tomorrow night is the Crazy for Cult show at Gallery 1988, hosted by Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier, where over 50 artists will have work on display reinterpreting scenes from their favourite cult films. Wish I could be there to see it!
How many films can you identify in the poster?
(via LCSV4)
I think I found 10 in that poster. What a great idea for a show!
