LE GUN opening
April 1, 2011
LE GUN’s exhibition Close Eyes to Exit opens tonight at the Red Gallery in London. It’s the launch of LE GUN 5. Their BAREBONES issue six comes out as well. There’s a party with Rough Trade on April 8. Another show at Bourouina Gallery in Berlin at the end of April. Pretty sure these guys never sleep.
If (unlike me) you were lucky enough to be invited to the private opening, or will be in London while the exhibit is up (through April 18), you can walk into the Unknown Room.
Pretty awesome. The room is supposed to show life-size drawings of the bizarre based on the contents of George Melly’s briefcase. Honestly, I had no idea who that was, but anyone with an obit like this is alright with me:
“George Melly, the jazz singer, author and raconteur who died yesterday aged 80, leched, drank and blasphemed his way around the clubs and pubs of the British Isles and provided pleasure to the public for five decades.” (The Telegraph)
And if you prefer to enjoy the LE GUN collective in the comfort of your own home, MBP has done you the favor of putting out LE GUN 1,2,3, the large ‘n’ lovely collector’s edition of the first three out-of-print issues of LE GUN magazine. Not as big as a whole room, but bigger than a bread box or a laptop.
