AM had the pleasure of attending the opening of Crazy 4 Cult 3D show at Gallery 1988 (LA) a couple weeks ago. The 3rd installment of the wildly popular group show again brought together some of our favorite artists to reinterpret some of the most addictive cult films of all time.

Teaser: Crazy 4 Cult III @ Gallery 1988 (LA)

Posted by sleepboy, July 8, 2009

It’s always interesting to see artists step out of their comfort zone and create a piece for theme shows.Â Constrained by the subject matter, one needs to find a way to fit into the show, yet maintain your own style so that your work is recognizable as your own.Â Ana Bagayan was successful on all counts with this piece (creative process on her blog) for this year’s Crazy 4 Cult show at Gallery 1988 (LA).Â The third installment of this hugely successful show is set […]
