Entartete Kunts 2008 Art Exhibition
May 21 2008 at 08:41:03 AM
Underground artist and writer, Dennis Dread, whose work has graced the covers of albums by
Darkthrone,
Autopsy and Engorged, as well as the pages of his zine,
Destroying Angels, is set to curate the second Entatrtete Kunts art exhibition this June.
The show will feature work by such legendary and controversial artists as Joe Petagno,
Jos A. Smith and Bobby BeauSoleil, rounded out by selections from Chris Reifert,
Rev. Kriss Hades, Drew Elliott, Mannuel Tinnemans (above picture), T. Ketola, and Dread himself. More:
"Entartete Kunts” is a bastardization of the German term “degenerate art” and a snide reference to the 1937 Nazi purging of all art deemed objectionable by "Der Führer." This unfortunate pun seems somehow appropriate for a bunch of drooling degenerates that consistently crank out uncompromising eyesores with seemingly little regard for commercial viability or good taste. As it turns out, the title also insures that many local businesses will refuse to display the flyer or otherwise promote this annual optic apocalypse. Entartete Kunts is in fact a very special exhibition that assembles some of the most devoted artists from around the world for a rare glimpse into a thriving and still largely renegade culture!
