Gary Panter   light show 15 february - 18 march, 2002 gallery 2 see the video of gary's performance at pierogi       a light fastener, 2002 ink on paper 11 x 8.5 inches   stills from the light show—                             press release Pierogi is extremely pleased to present a second solo show of Gary Panter's work. In the mid-70's in Los Angeles, Panter began publishing the darkly humorous cartoon adventures of his "Jimbo" character which became popular in punk and new wave publications such as RAW, and whose adventures continue today. In the late-70's he developed the graphic style for "PeeWee's Playouse" on CBS, for which he won three Emmy awards. Since the mid-80's Panter has been developing his artwork in New York. His first solo show at Pierogi in 1995 featured his drawings, paintings, and sketchbooks, including his collaborations with comic artists Charles Burns, Jay Cotton, and Ric Heitzman. In this exhibition Panter will present a Light Show, he calls "Fog Window" or "Mind Probe." The Light Show uses common objects to produce light and shadow abstraction on a small backlit screen, accompanied by a cacophany of radio samplings. The project is an out growth of light shows I did in my garage in the sixties, shadow puppets, experiments done with the performance group Ape Week in Texas in the seventies and, more recently, experiments with friends from funnygarbage.com . These experiments are related to painting ideas and to the dream machines of Byron Gysin. The effect is relaxing, trippy, dreamy, and a little noisy. There will be daily 45 minute performances during gallery hours–call for times.
