Semiopticon

Semiopticon Opening

So it's not quite the Sistine Chapel but it is one hell of an eye-opening, religious experience, that is of course if your God is Alfred E. Neuman of Mad Magazine, whose large head presides over the room filled with many other recognizable characters. Entering into the space of black and white donned walls, images are fused together in a seemingly nonsensical order. The combination of present day pop-culture symbols and iconic imagery is a journey for the eyes, mind and soul. Art enthusiasts and Drexel University locals filed into the Leonard Pearlstein Gallery yesterday evening in hopes of gaining some insight into artists Morgan Thomas and Thomas Buildmore's mindset for their Semiopticon: Exploring Semiotics, Sacred Ground & Street Art, installation. August 12th, 2009.
