Point Arena, CA, May 29, 2007 –BungalowNorth
Studios, an independent multimedia studio, today announced the first
in a proposed series of partnerships with internationally famous psychedelic
poster artists to produce new original artworks. BungalowNorth commissioned
the works to support and commemorate its production of Legends LIVE Series,
a number of musical performance events scheduled at the Arena Theater
in Point Arena.
The works will focus on the graphic interpretation of those iconic musicians
and their upcoming play dates at the Theater.
Stanley Mouse. Alton Kelley. Wes Wilson. Victor Moscoso. Rick Griffin.
These artists – known collectively as The Big Five – and
others are best remembered for immortalizing rock shows at Bill Graham’s
Fillmore Auditorium and Chet Helm’s Avalon Ballroom with startlingly
original graphic posters that captured the zeitgeist of the late 1960's
Psychedelic Era.
"In recognition of the amazing musical performers coming to the
Arena Theater – in part to celebrate the Summer of Love's 40th
Anniversary – we felt compelled to match their collective stature
with graphic artists of equal reputation", commented Timothy Johnson,
Executive Producer. "These groups are synergistically associated
with each other evoking an entire era. So in tribute, the legends of
music are teamed up with a legendary art movement for a very special
collaboration."
The individual artists will be introduced in tandem with event announcements
over the course of the next several months. The art will be highly collectible.
It will be available to collectors in a standard poster format and in
a special limited edition – numbered and signed by musicians and
artists and very much suitable for framing.
