Good opportunity to steal some KJ gig banners off Martin Atkins if you
live in Chicago:

It's what Raven would have wanted.

PIGFACE25
An Art Exhibit Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Pigface
A full retrospective of the bands handmade, custom scenery spanning 18
albums and 12 tours

The 50+ piece installation will be on display through May 5

You could call PIGFACE25 the chaotic post-punk industrial icing on a
very baked cake.

The bands huge, iconic stage scenery, designed with repurposing in
mind, breaks down into easy-to-carry pieces. Perhaps the Dot Screened
Madonnas (Preaching to the Perverted stage scenery, 2001) illustrate
this best: designed to be cut up and given away or sold after the
tour, they exemplify a balance between beauty and purpose, creativity
and commerce. TheEye piece (Free for All stage scenery, 2005) is 20
feet high and also available as a limited edition blotter acid paper
print. The Fook Baby Backdrop from 1992, never before displayed,
showcases the latex work of extreme artist Tim Gore.

In addition to the large-scale art, PIGFACE25 will also feature other
media: A 12 x 16 sculpture incorporated in the booklet for Pigfaces
1994 album, Notes from Thee Underground (which inspired a stage set
covered in dot-screened Newcastle Brown Ale bottle caps), some of
Martins iconic stage wear (including his first punk suit created by
multi-Oscar winner Sandy Powell), and an interactive photo wall.

Further cause for celebration is the fifth anniversary of the SAE
Chicago Music Business Culminating Project, which prompts graduating
students to collide with the real world head-on, hands-on.
