The Museum of Death - Chaos Gallery

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HOLLYWOOD, CA-The Controversial Life of Influential Punk Rocker G.G. Allin's Graphic Exhibitionism Goes On Display For The First Time Ever at Hollywood's Chaos Gallery.

Blood was the primary element of his art...sometimes literally. The life story and art of G.G. Allin is chronicled in an all inclusive display at the Chaos Gallery on Hollywood Boulevard.

With live music and exhibits drawn from every walk of G.G. Allin's life on display, the exhibit opens October 23rd with a swinging rager tribute to the shocking man himself.

One of the largest collections of G.G. Allin memorabilia, music, performance footage and pieces of G.G. himself ever assembled comes to Hollywood this October. In a celebration of the undisputed king of Shock Punk, the Chaos Gallery presents Scum fuc: A Trick or Treat Tribute to the Work of G.G. Allin.

Born as Jesus Christ Allin, G.G. became one of the most visceral and influential rockers in the late 80s/early 90s scene. The jailbird turned punk star's live shows became notorious for G.G.'s ritualistic self destructive behavior.

On stage, G.G. became a real life, shitting, pissing, cutting, bleeding rock sensation. Even going so far as to promise his own suicide on stage during a show and going on a naked, bloody rampage on the streets of Lower Manhattan in front of hundreds of fans.

Encompassing the outlandish life and career of G.G., the Chaos Gallery has pulled together memorabilia and artifacts from all aspects of his life. From court documents to prison writings like "Scar Strangled Banner" and the 1993 autopsy findings, the exhibit leaves no stone unturned and offers the best glimpse of Allin's life since his death.

Shocking, gruesome and authentic, the only major exhibit on G.G. Allin ever offered in an American Gallery comes to Hollywood from October 23 to November 8.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HOLLYWOOD, CA—The Museum of Death and Chaos Gallery Present the October Installation in Their 2009 Fall Lineup of Taboo Gallery Art Shows in the Dark Heart of Celebrity’s First City.

For the month of October, the Chaos Gallery will host two separate installations of controversial work by renowned artists. The enlivening month of deathly art kicks off the fall season at the Museum of Death with the graphic allure of the forbidden.

Showing October 3 through the 7th, the sensational gallery adaptation of the popular cult magazine, Morbid Curiosity Cures the Blues: True Stories of the Unsavory, Unwise, Unorthodox and Unusual will feature excerpts from the internationally celebrated occult magazine and extensive artist appearances.

For 10 years, underground and outsider artists defined the look of Morbid Curiosity magazine. Drawing from punk rock collage, goth fashion design, and fine arts photography, the magazine’s illustrators explored ossuaries, cemeteries, the inevitability of decay, and especially the beauty of the skull beneath the skin.

To celebrate the publication of an anthology of morbid nonfiction torn from the pages of the magazine, Morbid Curiosity editor Loren Rhoads has gathered pieces from her private collection to showcase her favorite images from the book and magazine.

From October 9 to October 14, the contrite devotions of coffee-table skull master and Richmond, Virginia artist Noah Scalin will deck the walls of the Chaos Gallery. The exhibit will feature appearances by the artist and some of the many skulls that contributed to his morbid daily collection of skulls featured in his compilation Skulls based on the blog www.skulladay.com.

Drawing from mixed mediums, the art of Scalin finds a phrenological obsession with the iconic form of the human skull in every day mediums. From mundane assortments of skulls derived from hair and condoms to horrific abstractions of building facades made to resemble the sockets and teeth of the human head, Scalin highlights the bony imagery in the every day.

From the halls of the house of death in Hollywood, California come the most visceral engaging art displays of the year. Join the Museum and Gallery for its celebration of the season in a dynamic collection of the sordid and curious alike.
