YOU’VE GOT A VERY IMPORTANT DATE: TIM BURTON EXHIBIT @ MOMA

This month, the MoMA is curating a Tim Burton exhibit that will run through April 26th, 2010. The exhibit examines Burton’s unique influence on popular culture and art and “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.” You can check out over 700 never before seen drawings, paintings, photographs, concept art, storyboards, puppets, and costumes from some of Burton’s weirdo dark and quirky-themed films like Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman, Mars Attacks, Ed Wood and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. The show will also feature a selection of amateur and student films, music videos and commercials influenced by Burton, and a complete set of Burton’s features and shorts. And all in time to get you in the weirdo mood before Burton’s newest film Alice in Wonderland hits theaters in March 2010.
