Destroy All Monsters: Hungry for Death

White Flag Projects in St. Louis has a new show opening Saturday night featuring Michigan-based artist collective Destroy All Monsters.

I enjoyed the Strange Frut: Rock Apochrypha series of paintings (pictured below) they had up at the Whitney Biennial and at the MCA in Chicago a few years ago. They were huge banner-sized paintings that featured a who's who of Detroit rock musicians and other underground celebrities.


This show will feature photographs, posters, flyers, magazines, records, and other ephemera documenting the group's various incarnations as a punk band, magazine, and art collective. Work by Mike Kelly, Cary Loren, and Jim Shaw will be represented.
More info on the show here. There'll also be a limited edition poster by Cameron Jamie.

Opening reception, Saturday, September 19, 2009
7 to 10 pm
The exhibition runs through October 24, 2009
