'When the Lights Go Out' - An Glow In the Dark Inspired Art Show @ Bottleneck Galleries NYC

As a life long New Yorker it is my duty to share all kinds of cool shit happening in my city with the rest of my fellow nerds, geeks and pop culture lovers. Even though NY has its fair share of cool things going on, lots of other states have been leading the charge in terms of gallery's that primarily focus on pop culture themed shows. But Bottleneck Galleries in Williamsburg, Brooklyn is doing their best to change that, and they seem to be doing a better job as each show comes and goes. Following up artist Raid  71's awesome 'The Popular Face of NY' art show, we get a bit of experimentation from the Bottleneck crew with a glow-in-the-dark driven show called 'When the Lights Go Out'. When the pieces appear to the naked eye, they seem like cool pop culture pieces. But when the lights go down, those pieces drastically change due to invisible glow-in-the-dark paint additions. The pieces take on a whole new life and get much more interesting... which is crazy cause they are already pretty dope! Looks like another hit show from the Bottleneck guys. Pieces will be available for purchase online starting tomorrow (April 13th), and the show runs from tonight's premiere (I'll be in the house) until May 1st. Try to get out and see the pieces for yourself... and help support local NY art galleries. Click after the jump to see some of my faves...

Bottleneck Galleries Presents - Get A Room: An Art Exhibition Celebrating The Greatest Couples Of Pop Culture History

The gang over at Bottleneck Galleries keeps on knocking their art show choices completely out of the park. Hot on the heels of their Gadgets & Gizmos, Alternate Endings, and Gangs All Here art shows (which we covered here, here, and here) the Brooklyn based gallery has brought us Get A Room. The show highlights all of the most celebrated couples of pop culture history and pays homage to the love they share in their relationships. These pieces are fantastic as usual, but what has to be the highlight of the show is the absolute insane amount of mediums that these pieces were created in. You have everything from sculptures  to digital manipulation, to actual hand drawn pieces... the show runs the gamut of artistic styles. There is something for everybody here, and as usual the subjects of the pieces are very deftly chosen and executed in a witty styling. No basic two characters loving each other here... these pieces have a certain something to make them unique. As usual, you can order prints at Bottleneck's website by clicking here, and the show is going on for a few more days (it ends this Friday, March 8th). So if you live in NYC, get over to Bottleneck this week and tell 'em CCD sent ya! Also, after the jump you find my personal faves of the bunch. Great to have a gallery doing things like this in NYC. Looking forward to more greatness from you guys in the future...
