Bruce Bickford: Poster Series and Clay Relics
Bruce Bickford is a master of the mercurial art of claymation; he's responsible for the morphing creatures in the Frank Zappa videos Baby Snakes and The Dub Room Special, as well as Zappa's The Amazing Mr. Bickford, which was a special showcase of his eccentric, autodidactic talents. Here you'll have the chance to see clay objects from Mr. Bickford and other films, as well as a new Zappa poster series. For lovers of charming yet perturbing outsider/DIY art, this is an essential stop for Art Walk and beyond.
