One of our favorite discoveries in Western Mass is the FOE gallery in Northampton.
We’re excited to be participating in the upcoming show Garamaniacal, curated by FOE co-owner Jim Shea and Garamania’s Michael Nordstrom. The show does homage to the iconic 1960’s kaiju Garamon (and its tiny incarnation, Pigmon). I was first introduced to this creature, and his cohorts, as a kid. Growing up in Chicago in the 70’s, I got to watch a slew of Japanese shows most kids in the States were denied, like Ultraman, Spectreman, Johnny Socko and his Giant Robot, and Space Giants. Thanks to the interwebs, I’ve been able to introduce my son to these old school gems. So I leapt at the opportunity to join in the show at FOE.
Please join us at the opening, February 10th, or stop in to see the work, which hangs through March 4th.
There’s also a cool coloring contest, which raises funds for the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
