Musical Performance by @helenmoney
RSVP at the link in bio ⚰️
Join us for the closing of “You Will Die, Too”, an exhibition confronting death head on. Pairing artists from the extreme metal community and its adjacent territories, this exhibition explores death as an affirmation of life, unearthing beauty in the decay and finding enlightenment in the darkness.
A special performance from local legend Helen Money sunsets the exhibition. And in the spirit of the eternal, Someoddpilot Records is resurrected with an archival recording from Ariah, the 80’s highschool thrash metal group you’ve been dying to hear. A commemorative You Will Die, Too zine will also be available.

“You Will Die, Too” continues. 10 artists share their visions of the afterlife.
Video works by @surachais flicker and pulse with ritualistic choreographies and geometric abstractions. Trance inducing, the immersive collection is a must see.
Stop by the gallery Saturday from 12-6.
Tune in and turn up. Public Works TV is on the air.
We’re more than a gallery. We’re a living, breathing collection of art and media, actively collaborating with independent artists to tell stories through music videos and short films.

Sanford Parker’s huge palette of sounds and unusual collection of instruments create a massive range of emotional textures, from outright aggression to disorienting dissonance. He’s released albums with extreme heavy and industrial bands like Corrections House, Mirrors for Psychic Warfare and Minsk, and recently won “Best Original Score” for the short film Brutal Realty, Inc. at the annual Hollywood Horrorfest.
