Gary Panter Night of music and movies!

This Monday, May 26th at 7pm

“Family is proud to host a night of music and movies with the legendary artist Gary Panter in conjunction with the release of his new two volume monograph. Gary will be giving a rare musical performance at Family with artist/muiscian Devin Flynn, followed by a signing.

“Then at 8pm, Gary will host a screening of one of his favorite movies, Fellini Satryicon down the block at The Silent Movie Theatre!

“More on Gary Panter: One of the most influential artists alive, Panter is a Recipient of the Chrysler Design award in 2000 and known to many as the “father of punk comics”. Gary Panter has been everything from an underground cartoonist to an interior designer (for a children’s playroom inside the Philippe Starck-designed Paramount Hotel in New York) to filmmaker (his Pink Donkey and the Fly series can be seen online at Cartoon Network’s web site). He is also the creator of Jimbo, a “post-nuclear punk-rock” cartoon character whose adventures were first chronicled as a comic strip in the ’70s LA hardcore-punk paper Slash and later in RAW Magazine.

“More on Fellini Satryicon: In Fellini’s bizarre, druggy adaptation of Petronius’s ancient Roman text, two attractive students (Martin Potter and Hiram Keller) fight it out over a young boy, which sets them all off on a series of bizarre adventures involving hermaphrodites, impotence potions, dwarfs, and opulent costumes and sets from such greats as Dante Ferretti and Danilo Donati. The obvious inspiration for Caligula, it remains the wildest Roman spectacle of them all and cheerfully revels in the fact that it makes no damn sense, right up to the cliffhanger final scene. Many critics hated this when it opened, but it’s now rightfully regarded as a classic.

“Come join us for what will be an amazing night of radness.”
