MF Gallery Presents a Gruesome Show of All New Zombie Art!
The Opening Party, Saturday June 26th (7-10pm)
will feature Zombie FX Makeovers, Free Beer for Zombies
and a performance by the Zombie Slayers, DETHRACE

MF Gallery: 213 Bond St. (b/w Butler & Baltic) Brooklyn, NY 11217 (917)446-8681 info@MFgallery.net

Let’s face it- the world has changed a lot since the first Zombie Attack on MF Gallery back in 2006. When the mighty DETHRACE helped us slay the vile creatures in the Lower East Side, we thought we had defeated the Zombie Plague, but much like cockroaches after a nuclear assault, the Zombies are still writhing in the streets! We may have won several battles, but it’s obvious that we have not yet won the war.

In hopes that we could use the fetid Gowanus canal as a barricade from a future Zombie attack, we have moved MF Gallery into the bigger and stronger “Fortress MF” in Brooklyn… But the putrid juices from the canal actually seem to be making them stronger! The Zombie Plague is not over! There is little hope left for the human race… Prepare for ZOMBIES ATTACK BROOKLYN!!!

This zombie themed art show will include pieces by: Dave Brockie, Johnny Crap, Dennis Dread, Bob Gorman, Moses Jaen, Drew Maillard, Matt Maguire, Casey Orr, Bianca Panzram, Elmer Presslee, Putrid, Pasquale Reca, Mark Riddick, Jesse Riggle, Lou Rusconi, Martina Secondo Russo, Frank Russo, Chad Savage,  Joe Simko, Heather Watts, Jeff Zornow & More.

The Opening Party, on Saturday June 26th from 7 to 10pm, will be an actual Zombie Attack!! DETHRACE will play a set of Zombie Slaying Death Metal, guaranteed to soothe the savage creeps! There will also be professional Zombie FX make up artists on hand to “Zombify” any willing guests! Admission is Free and open to all ages. Anyone (over 21) in full zombie makeup will get Free Beer all night!

“Zombies Attack Brooklyn” will be on view at MF Gallery until July 25, 2010, by appointment only. Contact Martina or Frank at (917)446-8681 or email: info@MFgallery.net to make an appointment to see the show. The zombie art will also be available for viewing and purchasing online at: www.MFgallery.net

DETHRACE is a theatrical art rock experience… Ten foot tall fiberglass super-robots play 666 volts of ear blasting Heavy Metal Music! Mecronos growls out the vocals, while Electronos shreds on electric guitar and Acronos pounds on the bass. All this is accompanied by an electronic drum track, while Necropatheos, the evil skull faced creator of the band, rocks out with the crowd.

MF Gallery is located at 213 Bond Street, between Butler and Baltic Streets in the Gowanus area of Brooklyn, NY. Take the A to Hoyt/ Schermerhorn, (Exit at Schermerhorn and Bond. Walk South on Bond for 8 blocks.) the F or G to Bergen, (Exit at Bergen and Smith, walk 2 blocks east on Bergen. Turn right on Bond. Walk south on Bond for 3 blocks.) or the R to Union.

Turns out Shadow Man wasn’t skull-focused enough for the MF Gallery show I NEED YOUR SKULL!!! They were kind enough to offer to let me show it in their upcoming zombie-themed exhibit ZOMBIES ATTACK BROOKLYN and, in the meantime, I whipped up UNDEAD for I NEED YOUR SKULL!!!

MF Gallery in NYC invited me (earlier in the year) to participate in their upcoming I NEED YOUR SKULL skull-themed group show. I’ve been kicking around the idea of doing an interpretation of  Baron Samedi / The Shadow Man for a while, so this seemed like a good time. The image above is the result.

As it turns out, though, Shadow Man wasn’t skull-centric enough for I NEED YOUR SKULL. However, it’s zombie enough for the next show they’re doing ZOMBIES ATTACK BROOKLYN, so look for it there!

ZOMBIES ATTACK BROOKLYN opens June 26, 2010 at the MF Gallery. Visit them online for details about the show and the gallery location at http://www.mfgallery.net.

It’s finally happened. After 40+ years of drawing and painting creepy stuff, I’ve been asked to be the Artist Guest of Honor at Orycon 32, November 2010, the theme of which will be (appropriately enough) “The Dark Side of Fantasy”. Details will eventually be posted at http://www.orycon.org.

Sinister Visions Head Honcho Chad Savage will have two new paintings showing at Gallery Provocateur‘s 2009 Annual Halloween Exhibition in Chicago, headlined by none other than Clive Barker.
