Catchin' Up With The Team at The Outside Institute in London
"Thought we'd drop you news of the latest installment at the Outside Institute, this time it's a double bill extravaganza!!
Dave The Chimp, Flying Fortress and Eddi Adfunture are all in town for a double-bill at the Outside Institute.... And they are all totally insane.
For the last week or so, the Institute has become an alladins cave of vinyl, canvas and paint. It's also been a totally unhealthy working environment for us... Largely due to the super-loud 'hair metal' and German gabba-core coming from the upstairs gallery space! Apparently it gets Fortress in the mood!?!
Chimp and Fortress' Visual Rock 'Stars - BACKSTAGE PASS' show opens tomorrow night in our upstairs gallery. The opening show will feature, from what we understand, loud meta,l music, booze, screaming, live painting, and hot groupie action.
During the month of August these 'Visual Rock Stars' will utilise the Outside Institute gallery as a blank canvas, the interior will be transformed into a visual feast. The event will be open to the public to visit the two artists as they work continuously on a stream of wall paintings, drawings, canvases, 3D work & crowd involved ambient 'tattooing' amongst other activities.
A final inter-active performance piece is scheduled for the closing party of all closing parties on the 25th August.
As if all that wasn't enough downstairs, Eddi from AdFunture is displaying their work of past and present, with a collection of Fling figures, better known as 'The Monkey Show' with artists such as Derrick Hodgson, Jon Burgerman, Pure Evil and JAKe amongst others. As well as the launch of D*Dog by the artist D*Face, with 24 unique customised D*Dogs on display. This will mark Adfunture's first exhibition in London and the last stop for 'The Monkey Show'.
Word, it's making us feel tired and the thought of it all... and having to put up with Fortress and Chimp for a month!
Peace
The Outside Institute.
