Wunderground

"Wunderground consists of two parts, representing present and past of the Providence underground art scene: Shangri-la-la-land and Providence Poster Art, 1995-2005. Shangri-la-la-land is a sculptural installation created especially for the Museum's soaring Main Gallery. It was conceived by a core group of eight artists who have lived and worked in the Olneyville section of Providence: Mat Brinkman, Brian Chippendale, Jim Drain, Leif Goldberg, Jungil, Hong, Xander Marro, Erin Rosenthal, and Pippi Zornoza. In the adjacent Granoff Galleries, Providence Poster Art, 1995-2005 presents a floor to ceiling display of over two thousand handmade posters produced by more than a hundred and fifty artists to advertise rock shows, art exhibitions, and community events during the last decade."--Title page verso.
