ADX is back, and concert poster art shows are back, and even concerts are back. ADX founder Kelley Roy has been promoting local artists virtually in the ARTV program with curator-artist Rachael Allen. Tonight is an in-person show of faux concert posters for imaginary and improbable concert lineups.
It is a branch of fictive art covered in the new book “Sting in the Tale: Art, Hoax, and Provocation," by Antoinette LaFarge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3UK5TZDqBM.
Hip hop artist Bird Bennett, singer-songwriter Stellah The Artist, and metal outfit Kill Abyss perform. It's also the 11th anniversary of ADX and their traditional anniversary party to meet artists and makers and see some of the studios. ADX has been back for in person events and now they are returning to First Friday evening openings with an urban art, lowbrow, and illustration interest, well executed.
