This exhibition celebrates the art of gig posters

outtarealm.jpg

Gig posters represent the ultimate collision of popular culture and art. In some instances, they’ve become as iconic as the concerts they were first designed for. Specifically, the art of screen printing is on full display with these posters – marking one of their most beautiful attributes. 

That’s where Outta Tune comes in, celebrating the magic of gig posters by pulling together a selection of artists to create new art with fictitious bands inspired by the very best of pop culture from the silver screen. 

They’ll project us back to the 70’s to catch The Carpenters supporting the infamous Ziggy Stardust. Then we’ll hop in the Dolorian and wing our way back to feel the honky tonk power of The Soggy Bottom Brothers. These gigs don’t exist in our world, but in another realm. Confuzzled? Come see for yourself.

Capping it off comes live sets from Eaten By Dogs and Fuck the Fitzroy Doom Scene.
