An Orgy Of Pansemics
I would like to propose a show of paintings and text to be presented at the grunt gallery. The title of the show would be called The Hardy Boys Revisited. The premise of the work would be that the Hardy Boys would be freed from the narrative time warp in which they are trapped perpetually as seventeen and eighteen year olds. By using fictitious book covers and titles the works chronicle their progression into adulthood and bring Frank and Joe Hardy into the 90's. For the purposes of this show they will begin aging from the late 60's, making them in 1995 in their mid 40's
As a young boy I was an avid fan of the Hardy Boys books; I probably read 30 to 40 of them. One of the appealing things about the series were the garish and macabre covers that were always more suggestive than the actual text within.
