Cool Stuff: Idiot Box Art Show

idiot box alf

You probably remember Gallery 1988 as the Los Angeles-based art gallery which hosts the pop-culture infused Crazy4Cult show every year. We’ve featured artwork from their exhibitions in previous editions of cool stuff: Beastie Boys Inspired Art, Crazy4Cult 2, and Stan Lee Tribute. From April 2nd to April 23rd, Gallery 1988 is celebrating their 5th year anniversary with the Idiot Box art show. 100 Artists take aim at television’s guity pleasures. I have included 15 of my favotires after the jump.

  • Infrafan
    Fantastic pieces that you didn't show as well. Love the Brock Sampson.
  • “The Eighties Bunch” Pic is pretty cool..
  • LOL @ Saved by the Bell shooting! I really gotta have that!
  • The Freaks and Geeks piece is fantastic. They should make prints.
  • I also love the It's Always Sunny piece that wasn't posted.
  • Saved by the bell and Count Chocula was the best ones...
  • Now here is a reason I come by the site. Very cool mention; saw some nice, refreshing pieces.
    Seinfeld and Freaks and Geeks are my faves from Peter's bunch. The Sunny piece is absolutely inspired. And I have a soft spot for most of the TMNT ones (excluding those weird human teen interpretations). Actually seems to be more of turtles than any other property.
  • Like the pixel art canvas :-) and the eighties bunch too
