in April: the pLopLop show
A selection of paintings, drawings, ephemera, objects found and transformed, flyers, posters, and documentary video clips culled from the archives of John Clark, the inventor of pLopLop will open at Big Car Gallery April 2 at 6 p.m. Music by Normanoak and Pharm Accident that night will start at 9:30 p.m.
Inspired by dada, surrealism and fluxus activity, pLopLop started life as an experimental arts and literary zine nearly 20 years ago. pLopLop grew beyond publishing to encompass live performance, video experiments, multimedia installations and visual art innovations based on collaboration and transformation.
The pLopLop show at Big Car gallery reflects the ongoing experimental and collaborative energies of the inventor of the zine -- and pLopLop's influences, contributors and fellow DIY pioneers as we work together to explore and transform the rugged terrain of an increasingly homogenized world. pLopLop #12 will be released to coincide with the opening and available to purchase for $5.

The show runs through April 17.
In the gallery now: Magical Wonderfulness
After a tough break up, Indianapolis based artist NERS set out on his own and headed West. From this trip he produced Magical Wonderfulness, a series of drawings currently at Big Car. The imagery from the show was inspired by the dramatically different landscapes, flora, fauna, and culture of the American West that he experienced during his recent travels. The show runs through March 20, with business hours Thursday-Saturday 11-6.
