Every Tuesday, Critical Mass pokes around the blog world so you don't have to.
Mathew Craven does a stand-up job of profaning our country's history in his new exhibit at Grizzly Grizzly, "Future Myths," as ArtBlog tell it, Basically, the dude cuts up textbooks and has a field day with every artistic tool out there Adobe Photoshop, markers, you name it the century doesn't really matter. After he's through, the world of our founding fathers has gone from 18th Century drab to Sergeant Pepper psychedelic.
Make Major Moves reports our favorite animated rockers Gorillaz are coming to Philly this fall. Virtually, most of the band should be present. But no one is quite clear which members will physically show up. Either way, their shows throws together live musicians, art and visual effects so everyone feels like they're romping around in a "Dirty Harry" video.
If the prologue of Shakespeare's Henry V is any indication, all you need for a bitchin' show is, "A kingdom for a stage, princes to act / And monarchs to behold the swelling scene." Uwishunu wants you to consider yourself king/queen for two weeks when the Philadelphia Shakespeare Co. performs Henry V for free.
While Sam Adams already gave the re-released Metropolis the review treatment, Carrie Rickey takes a more historical approach to Fritz Lang's Art Deco masterpiece.
