Upstairs in the Capital Gallery, an exhibit titled Pythonesque, will be on display which explores works inspired by Monty Python.Both galleries are open for viewing July 1-29. Opening night will be during Art Walk, July 1 from 6pm -10pm.
Imagine, if you will, an art show that doesn’t take itself too seriously. For Pythonesque, artists were invited to produce works directly inspired by the very (very, very, very) many quips and punches from Monty Python’s comedies including Flying Circus, The Holy Grail, The Life of Brian, the Meaning of Life, and more. From dead parrots, to rubber chickens, to the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow, the potential influences are indeed endless- and not the least limited to that of birds. This most iconic and influential comedy series debuted over 50 years ago, and continues to inspire the arts, music, and film media to this day. Monty Python represents not just the finest in British comedy, but a symbol for the genius in the “anything goes” style of production. Surrealism, stream-of-consciousness, and absolute absurdity are continually celebrated in this exhibition. Artists and guests may ‘silly walk’ their way through the gallery. Fine art featuring man-eating rabbits, the blessed cheesemakers, Knights who say NI, and men dressed as women dressed as men may adorn the walls. And above all, Pythonesque offers the community an opportunity to celebrate the true meaning of life (which is nothing very special really)!
Adding to the enjoyment at Art Walk on July 1, the music of DJ Dream Jay will be featured on the rooftop at Sidney’s Rooftop Sculpture Garden. The Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center invites the public to come enjoy two art shows, listen to music and dance the night away! Friday nights atop Sidney’s is fun for everyone with a panoramic 360˚ view of the city and the sunset over the Caloosahatchee River.
The Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center is located at 2301 First St. in the historic downtown Fort Myers River District.
