Entartete Kunts 2009
April 5 2009 at 10:11:04 PM
Got something cooler to do this June? Not fuckin' likely:
The third annual underground art exhibit curated by Dennis Dread explores the intersection of imagery/sound and celebrates the incendiary art of metal and punk without a trace of irony. "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". An unfortunate pun but strangely appropriate for this gathering of unrepentant iconoclasts who stand boldly "outside" in every way. 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. Negative space? This is WAR!
This is perhaps the most loaded show yet with works by S Clay Wilson, Nick Blinko, Away, Necrolord, Lugubrum’s Midgaars, Erik from Watain, and Arik Roper offering just a taste.
Can’t deal with Airfare? Get a
Greyhound. You’re guaranteed a bizarre road story to share and many of the artists are slated to be in attendance on the 19th.
What more could you want? Oh yeah, Amebix’s Rob Miller forged a goddamn SWORD for the occassion:
The sword and accompanying bi-knife he has forged for this exhibit is an amalgamation of both sound and steel, being a historically accurate 13th century European design with Austin Osman Spare's occult sigil, which Amebix adopted as their logo, embedded as silver coins in the grips. The blade of the sword, folded repeatedly under heat to produce approximately 190 layers of steel, contains the phrase most often associated with his band: NO GODS NO MASTERS!
