Hey gang,
I will be curating a number of gallery screenings for the fall surrounding the
early art works of Raymond Pettibon from 1978-1986. For those that do not know
Pettitbon, here is a brief:
Raymond Pettibon is known for his comic-like drawings with disturbing, ironic or
ambiguous text, Pettibon's subject matter is sometimes violent and
antiauthoritarian. From the late 1970s through the mid-1980s, he was closely
associated with the punk rock band Black Flag and the record label SST Records,
both founded by his older brother Greg Ginn. Beginning in the mid 1980s, he
became a well-known figure in the contemporary art scene.
Pettibon works primarily with ink on paper and many of his early drawings are
black and white, although he sometimes introduces color by using pencil,
watercolor, collage, gouache or acrylic paint. Pettibon’s drawings encompass the
spectrum of American culture from the deviances of marginal youth-culture to
art, literature, sports, religion, politics, and sexuality. Pettibon’s works on
paper uniquely combine the drawn image and text, both borrowed passages from
literature and text written by Pettibon himself.
Besides his works on paper, Pettibon has also made animations from his drawings,
live action films from his own scripts, unique artist’s books, fanzines, prints,
and large permanent wall drawings that often include an arrangement of his own
works on paper almost creating an installation of collage.
In-depth, and regarding the 1978-1986 California Punk/Hardcore era, here is what
I'm looking for:
a) Concert + Gig Footage: (EXAMPLES: Sin 34, Black Flag, Minutemen, The Germs,
Dead Kennedy's, Middle Class, Decedents, etc.)
b) Short/Feature Films + Filmmakers
c) Articles + Written Words
d) Current Distributors
The media should be consistent with the early California Punk/Hardcore Scene.
You can see from the list below, it's a mix of genres and possibilities. Some
are difficult to get a hold of due to being out of print or having no
distribution. The official exhibition is Raymond Pettibon: The Punk Years
1978-1986 and it will be November 13, 2010-January 2, 2011.
