The following press release was found in my email this morning about an art exhibit opening in Pittsburgh, PA that will be something of a landmark in the history of the Obscuro genre. I am very excited about attending this event!
Obscuro Bezango!
Curated by Thomas Rehm
At Future Tenant 819 Penn Avenue
Opening reception Friday August 2, 2013 | 7-10 PM
On display from August 2 to September 1, 2013
Free Admission
(June 18, 213) Future Tenant
presents Obscuro Bezango!, a body of
work by three creators in a little known arena of art called Obscuro Culture.
This four-week visual arts exhibit will feature traditional sculpture, outsider
sculpture, and Obscuro art and comics all unified by their singularity of
vision. In addition to curating the show, Thomas Rehm will display work
alongside Maximum Traffic- the assumed name of a prolific artist- and Elmore “Buzz”
Buzzizyk. These three unlikely gallery-mates help carry on the underground
culture of self published artists and cartoonists that arose in the advent of
widely available, inexpensive photocopying, today known as Obscuro art.
Meet the curator and enjoy
complimentary drinks at the opening reception FRIDAY AUGUST 2 FROM 7-10 PM. This event is free and open to the
public.
