SuperStupid Art and Videos at Okay Mountain

The folks at Okay Mountain Gallery are doing something right - actually they are doing lots of things right. The tucked away East side gallery won “Best Art Gallery” in the Austin Chronicle’s Best of 2009 awards, no doubt because they showcase a wide range of emerging national and international contemporary artists already loaded with street cred. But it's also evident that the crew at Okay Mountain have fun exposing new talent and their passion for their work shows. Finally the rest of the world has been tipped off thanks to a highly coveted and well-deserved nod from the New York Times. This past Sunday, the NYT Style magazine mentioned Okay Mountain in a destination piece about Austin.

Okay Mountain's latest exhibition, Devin Flynn's SuperStupid is a great example of the shows the gallery puts together. On view through Halloween, the exhibition features work of animation machine and artist, Devin Flynn. After busting his artistic chops in Providence, R.I., Flynn relocated to Brooklyn where his homegrown DIY ethics were challenged by the reality of economics. To stay one step ahead of the game, he created his own market by doing animated music videos for friends in up and coming bands like Providence’s Lightening Bolt and others, which led to several new opportunities. These included a regular spot on MTV's Wondershowzen, a video in the Liverpool Biennial, curating a video program for The Anthology Film Archives, animating the title sequence for Adult Swim's AquaTeen Hunger Force Movie, and the creation of a stream of consciousness webseries on Adultswim.com called Y'all So Stupid.

Join the Okay Mountain team and Devin Flynn live in-person for a special screening of his animation and personal favorites on Monday, September 28 at 10pm at The Ritz - Alamo Drafthouse Downtown.

SuperStupid will be on display at Okay Mountain until October 31st.
