The 3rd installment of Crazy 4 Cult opened last Thursday at Gallery 1988 on Melrose Avenue. Crazy 4 Cult celebrates those weird and wonderful cult films all your friends dig [alternately, the films you talk about on a first date] and features work by Ewellina Ferruso, Dan May, Ana Bagayan, Scott Campbell, Dave MacDowell, Amy Sol, Craola, Molly Crabapple and many, many more. My favorite trend of this year’s show was Edward Scissorhands – a sentiment shared by thirteen exhibiting artists, each with their own interpretation of the film. Other artist favorites included Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, A Clockwork Orange and The Professional.The reception was packed, with an attractive and well-put-together line of L.A. art scenesters scretching past neighboring Gloden Apple Comics. Crazy 4 Cult 3-D runs through August 8th, 2009. You can check out the catalog and purchase prints here.
