Let's get PUNNNK at an art opening!

I'll be honest... I don't usually go to a lot of art openings. Chelsea is too far away to be at late at night. But this exciting exhibition of The Secret Public at Boo-Hooray seems just exciting enough (and just punk enough) to get me over to 10th ave.



Keegan Cooke, one of the people putting this show together, said the following about it on Terminal Boredom:

The Secret Public was a Punk Photo Montage/Collage collaboration between Jon Savage and Linder Sterling that was published in 1978. Its an amazing little 'zine, and, of course, is hideously rare.

The show is not purely focused on The Secret Public 'zine as much as using it as a starting point to further explore the work of these two amazing artists, and their collaborations. Linder is known as the person responsible for some of the most timeless record sleeves of the punk era, and Jon Savage is known primarily as the writer of Englands Dreaming (but little is known of his work as a flier and collage artist) and they are both sorely underrepresented in the art world.

Johan Kugelberg curated the show and dug up piles of lost treasures, on view here only, for two weeks. Jon Savage will be DJing (PUNK) the opening, and there will be free food and wine (kids: cookies and milk) and lots of giveaways: Like silkscreen prints made by me.

Its been a ton of work, but its really special, and anyone interested in the punk era, photo montage work, or punishingly rare collectables should consider this a must attend exhibition.

I hope I'll see you all there!

I'm definitely going, come hang out!
