Gallery 1988: Eighties Movies as Travel Posters by Tom Whalen and Dave Perillo

Vacation

We usually are up on our Gallery 1988 exhibits but the good folks at /Film have some exclusive images of the upcoming show by Tom Whalen and Dave Perillo entitled "Around the World in an '80's Daze"

Much like the old school VH1 TV show, Gallery 1988 is having the best week ever. Their Melrose location currently has the amazing Return of the Great Showdownsexhibit on the walls and this coming Friday, September 28, their Venice location opens an insanely clever and cool exhibit by popular pop artists Tom Whalen and Dave Perillo.

The show is called Around the World In An ’80s Daze and is comprised of travel posters for locations from famous ’80s films and TV shows. Stuff like The Terminator, Caddyshack, Vacation, A Nightmare on Elm Street or Thundercats. Opening 7 p.m. September 28 at Gallery 1988 Venice, Around the World In An ’80s Daze remains on display through October 20.

While each artist has already revealed a few posters to tease the fans, /Film is proud to debut three new posters each for this super exciting show. Check them out after the jump.

Terminator

Around the World In An ’80s Daze, an exhibit of new work by Tom Whalen and Dave Perillo, opens 7 p.m. September 28 at Gallery 1988 Venice, 214 Pier Ave., Santa Monica, CA. It remains on display through October 20. For hours and more info, visitgallery1988.com.
