Cool Stuff: The 'Quentin Vs Coen' Art Show In San Francisco

In 2011, the Spoke Art Gallery in San Francisco, CA came up with the great, simple idea for an art show. Take the wildly varied films of two of the most eclectic and revered filmmakers out there, and mash them together. The result, Quentin vs Coen, opens yet again Saturday July 5.

Quentin Tarantino and The Coen Brothers are obviously successful, talented filmmakers. But what makes them so similar to each other is how different they continue to be. From film to film to film, audiences never know what they're going to get when they sit down for a Tarantino or Coen Brothers film. A film noir masked as a stoner comedy, a murder mystery set in Minnesota, a series of stories told out of order, a near four hour samurai movie. The sky is the limit.

And that's reflected in the art show, too. The huge scope of films made by these filmmakers, filled with iconic imagery and classic characters, is paradise for an artist looking to do something different. Below, we've got a small sampling of what's in store for the show, as well as information on how you can attend and buy online.

Quentin vs Coen will open Saturday, July 5th, from 6-10 p.m. at 816 Sutter St. San Francisco, CA 94109. It'll remain on display until July 26 and online sales begin July 8 on the Spoke Art website. There you can also get gallery hours and more.
