TRASH CULTURE SHOW-the potholes of taste
Amazing museum show in Spain. Featuring a few items from my personal collection
in the "Attraction of the ugly" portion of the exhibit. Also featured
are sideshow banners, horror movie paraphanelia, outsider music, strange television,
Ed Wood and more. This exhibition, "Cultura Porqueria. Una espeleologia
del gust" ran from May 20th-August 21st 2003 at the Center of Contemporary
Culture in Barcelona then the show travelled to montehermoso cultural center
in vitoria-gasteiz and closed December 15th 2003. The CCCB also published a
190 page catalog for the show. I'm pretty sure it's available at www.cccb.org

Mailing List-
As interest in BIG EYED ARTWORK has increased quite a bit lately. I haven't
been able to keep up with some of the questions I receive via email, or sometimes
I just don't have the answers... so I've invited some pals and invite you to
join a mailing list in hopes to have a place that we can exchange info and stuff.
If you have questions, would like to share memories of 'big eyes' from your
childhood, trade artwork, announce sightings of big eyed images in the media,
share photos of your collection, talk about the Keanes and other artists, etc...
If this sounds like something you've been waiting for, then please sign up for
the Big Eyed Art list here:
