Summary:

For the past decade, Providence, RI, has been the site of a radical underground art scene, giving rise to a multi-faceted, unbridled aesthetic that is as distinct as it is influential. As a celebration of the movement, The Museum of Art at the Rhode Island School of Design is presenting the exhibition Wunderground. The companion publication, Wunderground- Providence, 1995 to the Present features a foreword by celebrated artist and designer Gary Panter, 128 pages of full color illustrations and 4 fold-out gatefolds. Artists, musicians, writers and students who created and witnessed the rise of the movement offer shorter texts providing a kaleidoscopic portrait of a time and place.

Notes:

"Wunderground consists of two parts, representing present and past of the Providence underground art scene: Shangri-la-la-land and Providence Poster Art, 1995-2005. Shangri-la-la-land is a sculptural installation created especially for the Museum's soaring Main Gallery. It was conceived by a core group of eight artists who have lived and worked in the Olneyville section of Providence: Mat Brinkman, Brian Chippendale, Jim Drain, Leif Goldberg, Jungil, Hong, Xander Marro, Erin Rosenthal, and Pippi Zornoza. In the adjacent Granoff Galleries, Providence Poster Art, 1995-2005 presents a floor to ceiling display of over two thousand handmade posters produced by more than a hundred and fifty artists to advertise rock shows, art exhibitions, and community events during the last decade."--T.p. verso.

Catalog includes a color poster as an outer "book jacket." The poster, designed by Helene Silverman, measures 90 x 65 cm. folded to 31 x 65 cm.
