I’m stoked to announce that Acid King is going to play with Ufomammut at the Dark Nouveau art show at Varnish Fine Art on Saturday, October 24, 2009. Details of the show and advance ticket sales information here.

Dave Hunter made this sweet poster at Hangar 18 for the event (above).

Cool thing for me about Acid King playing this show – is that the very first poster Ron Donovan and I collaborated on was for Acid King and Fear at the Trocadero. So it’s all in the family.

Check Ron and my Acid King poster below. And in case you are wondering – this poster is waaaay sold out – so don’t ask.

Ufomammut and Acid King at Varnish Fine Art 77 Natoma, SF • 10/24/09 – door 7 pm – show 8:30 pm
Malleus, Alan Forbes, Dave Hunter and Firehouse at VARNISH Fine Art Gallery
77 Natoma Street at 2nd Street
MALLEUS, the artist collective of Urlo, Poia and Lu, the remarkable poster design team from Italy, will be unveiling their new works and limited art prints at 7 pm on Friday, October 23 at VARNISH FINE ART GALLERY in San Francisco.
Alan Forbes, Dave Hunter and Chuck Sperry / Ron Donovan of the Firehouse will exhibit with MALLEUS – each presenting art prints specifically designed for the event.
The show will last for two days – Friday and Saturday – October 23 and 24, 2009.
The event is a celebration of “DARK NOUVEAU,” a return to the roots of poster creation. DARK NOUVEAU evokes equally the fin de siècle style of Toulouse-Lautrec and 1960′s San Francisco Psychedelia – and operates here as a manifesto of reinvention and revision – aimed at connecting to the poster movement of the Decadent Period to the Belle Epoque and folding it into the Psychedelic Period to the present modern global silkscreen movement.
DARK NOUVEAU art installation at VARNISH FINE ART GALLERY • October 23 through October 24, 2009 • MALLEUS • Alan Forbes • Chuck Sperry and Ron Donovan of the Firehouse • Dave Hunter
