In a city that’s ripe with art, film but sorely lacking an intersection between the two, Gallery 1988 has migrated from Los Angeles to New York bringing along their trademark pop culture art show featuring the work of over 200 artists. Crazy 4 Cult New York opens Thursday and, over the course of this week, we’ve posted three previews (which you can view here, here and here) from the sixth iteration of the show. The show opens Thursday from 6-9 p.m. at 64 Gansevoort St. in the Meat Packing District and, if you can’t make it then, it’ll be on display through September 1.
In this fourth, and final, preview of Crazy 4 Cult New York, we’ve got 30 plus images featuring films like The Shining, The Terminator, Spaceballs, A Clockwork Orange, Back to the Future, They Live and so many more. Add that to the 60 we’ve already revealed and, believe it or not, we’re still only previewed half the show. It’s going to be an epic intersection of creative expression, collectibles and culture. Check out the images below. Read More »

Check out the first two previews for this show, featuring forty different images, here and here.
For the past five years, Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles has hosted what’s become a signature event: Crazy 4 Cult. Initially created with the help of Kevin Smith, the art show has grown by leaps and bounds each year featuring art from almost every single cult movie imaginable. There’s a book commemorating its awesomeness, and countless imitators have sprung up from coast to coast, but the event was always relegated to Los Angeles. No more. This week, Gallery 1988 moves east for the sixth annual iteration of its pop culture art show, called Crazy 4 Cult New York. It’ll open August 9th from 6-9 PM at 64 Gansevoort St. in the Meat Packing District and remain on display through September 1.
Over 200 artists have contributed to the show which, suffice to say, means there’s way too much art to put into one post. So, just like /Film has been doing for years, we’re splitting it up over several days. In this third post you’ll see art from Army of Darkness, Edward Scissorhands, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Rushmore, Fight Club, Little Shop of Horrors, Battle Royale and many more. Read More »

Gallery 1988: LA will be holding Crazy 4 Cult 2 on Friday, August 22nd from 7-11pm. Basically, it’s a pop culture-infused art show hosted by Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier. The first show featured anything from Jay and Silent Bob to oil paintings of the guys from Shaun of the Dead playing with toys. A couple weeks ago we gave you an exclusive look at Andrew Wilson’s insane poster for the event (which you will be able to purchase on stuff88.com next week). Today we bring you an exclusive preview of some of the great art at this year’s event.

Gallery 1988 has released another poster for the second annual pop-culture art show Crazy4Cult. This one is by Scott Campbell, who you might remember from the One To Grow On show (we featured his crazy E.T. themed art on Cool Stuff). He’s also the guy responsible for that cool arcade drawing in The King of Kong DVD. And people from the video game world might know him from the awesome cut and fold arcade cabinet flyers he created for the latest I am 8bit show.
Scott’s Crazy4Cult 2 poster has tons of geekarific movie characters hanging out in a tree. You can see E.T. and his bike hanging out with Pee-Wee Herman and his bike, or an Alien hanging out with the guy from Tron, or Freddy Krugar hanging out with Edward Scissorhands.
There are a lot of references packed into the poster. How many can you spot?
You can purchase a print of the poster for $20 at Crazy4Cult 2′s opening night reception on August 22nd from 7-11pm, or by phone/email the next day. The original art will actually be on sale at the event, along with many other cool pieces. Head on over to nineteeneightyeight.com for more info.
