Butter and Popcorn Go Together Like Kangaroos and Boxing is a presentation of individual and collaborative artwork by Mike Parsons and Andy Rihn. The show explores the relationships between butter, popcorn, kangaroos and boxing. These 4 items used as icons to create an entire theme-based experience. Mike and Andy take the title, dissect it, then deliver their art in their own unique and complimentary ways. The opening night show on April 24th will be a combination of performance and art in conjunction with Austin's Fusebox Festival. For the opening performance Andy Rihn will drown a stuffed kangaroo, over the course of the night, in popcorn. Eventually filling the closed garage door at Okay Mountain with fresh popped corn and the area with the aroma. Other butter and boxing oriented installations will be set up in the courtyard. While the entire Project Space and walls of the gallery will be converted into Mike Parsons vision of the theme. Through his wonderfully skewed paintings and drawings Mike will present the show's icons. All the work will transfer into the Project Space after the opening and create a whole other collaborative version of butter, popcorn, kangaroos and boxing. That show will remain up until May 29th.
