THIS WEEKEND: Tim Burton’s MOMA, Shag’s Autumn, and Eupohoria Left the Room

Friday, November 20th, 2009

What this weekend’s events and openings may lack in quantity they more than make up for in quality.

  • New Yorkers are in for quite the creepy treat as visionary director Tim Burton invades the MOMA for a retrospective of the director’s uniquely original visions from his many odd films, sculptures, creatures, and equally quirky works on paper.

  • One of the founding fathers of the lowbrow art scene, Shag (aka Josh Agle) makes a triumphant gallery return with a series of large format panoramas in Autumn’s Come Undone at the Corey Helford Gallery in Culver City. View a selection of the works from Shag’s website here.

  • The Scion Space hosts another interesting group show in their massive Culver City residence with Euphoria Left the Room, “an exhibition addressing the sense of creativity and visionary imagination, which throughout the 20th century was set free through experimentation and what-if scenarios governed by the “if anything was possible” logic commonly displayed in Sci-fi literature and film.”
