LIVE EVENT: FUNCHICKEN: DREAM RESIDUE

Galactic Panther Art Gallery unleashes FUNCHICKEN: DREAM RESIDUE, a blast of collaborative chaos by artists Mark Todd and Esther Pearl Watson. This exhibition drops viewers straight into the warped, neon-soaked brain of Funchicken: a DIY universe fueled by zines, copy-machine mutations, 80s weirdness, and unapologetic absurdity.The artists have traveled from California to install the show and to attend the opening on Friday, January 16, 6:00 to 10:00 PM at Galactic Panther, 1303 King Street, Alexandria, Virginia.

The opening is free to the public and will feature live music and a smorgasbord of catered charcuterie. Please bring your friends and family for a unique and memorable time at Old Town's most eclectic art gallery.

If you would like to make a donation, please do. Funchicken isn’t a side project—it’s a creative free-for-all. Todd and Watson ditch the rules of their individual practices to experiment with limited-edition prints, designer toys, wearables, and paintings that feel fast, handmade, and slightly unhinged. Think cut-and-paste logic, lo-fi aesthetics, and humor that doesn’t ask permission.

On their own, both artists are heavy hitters. Esther Pearl Watson exhibits internationally and publishes comics with Fantagraphics Books. Mark Todd co-owns and curates HeyThere Projects, a gallery and gift shop planted in the desert of Joshua Tree, California. Together, they crank the volume higher—turning collaboration into collision.
