New Brow: The Rise of Underground Art
Posted by Marlow Harris under Art , Film , Seattle NewsNo Comments
The Seattle premiere of the film New Brow is this Friday night at the Northwest Film Forum, January 15th 2010 at 9pm. Director Tanem Davidson will be in attendance for a Q&A after the film. Local art dealer Kirsten Anderson, arts impresario Larry Reid, artist Charles Krafft, and Jodavid and I make brief appearances in the film. We were all interviewed last year for this film that explores Pop Surrealism, Kustom Kulture and the “Low Brow” art movement, and we look forward to the Seattle premiere of this important film about the art and artists we love.
New Brow presents interviews from artists, galleries and collectors who initiated and gave momentum to the New American Art Movement. The revealing footage captures the makeshift studios and gallery spaces where the movement began, and the intensity and passion required to birth a new genre. The film also sheds light on non-traditional influences that are often overlooked and under appreciated. These “low brow” references encompass everything from underground comix, Kustum Kulture, graffiti and tattoo to skate and surf culture, punk art and others amidst Californian sub-cultures.
