“ Burbank's finest is the toast of tonight's fête, which offers attendees a great chance to take in his MoMA exhibition — and his nether, under-the-bed universe — without that Cali-style pileup. The first hour and half is dedicated to studying those handcrafted misfits and monsters before a Burton-inspired variety show led by comedian Max Silvestri. The excellent lineup includes Reggie Watts, Sam Anderson, and Jon Glaser, as well as music from Brigham Bough and the harmonium-playing Wyndham Garnett, of band Elvis Perkins in Dearland.”
Jason Jude Chan, Flavorpill
MoMA says: Taking inspiration from popular culture, Tim Burton has reinvented Hollywood genre filmmaking as an expression of personal vision, garnering for himself an international audience of fans and influencing a generation of young artists working in film, video, and graphics. This exhibition explores the full range of his creative work, tracing the current of his visual imagination from early childhood drawings through his mature work in film.
