D*Face aPoPcalypse Now - We Made This

D*Face aPoPcalypse Now

We scooted over to the Black Rat Press on Rivington Street last night to check out the latest show from D*Face, aPoPcalypse Now. It's a fantastic show, featuring a few site specific installations, and a host of new canvases based on Spiderman and Superman comics, all D*Faced. The entire show had pretty much sold (since this was the opening, we're guessing through some private collectors) which isn't bad going. Check out Alistair's Flickr set of the show. Part 1 of the show is open Friday 3 October 10am - 6pm, Saturday 4 October 11am - 4pm, and Sunday 5 October 11am - 4pm. We're not sure how long the rest of it will be up.
