*MEDIA RELEASE* **
For immediate release from
Kamloops Art Gallery

*Shazam! *
Martin Tuba
/Repent Sinner/, 2005
acrylic on canvas
The Kamloops Art Gallery is delighted to present *Shazam! Breaking out
of the Box*, an exhibition by four young artists from Kamloops and the
Thompson-Nicola Regional District. It runs from January 20 to February
24, 2008, in The Cube.
/Shazam! Breaking out of the Box/ is an exhibition of locally produced
art that breaks out of the moulds that separate fine art from commercial
art. Inspired by popular culture, artists Laura Bittante, Martin Tuba,
Andrew Enpaauk Dexel and Randall Eustache have created an array of
contemporary artworks inspired by mass culture, particularly cartoons
and animation. A fun and inspiring exhibition, //Shazam! //is an
exploration of the "highs" and "lows" of pop art by artists from our region.
Admission to The Cube is free, and all works are available for purchase
through The Gallery Store.
