Peanut Gallery is pleased to present WIPE OUT -- a multimedia group exhibition opening Sunday, January 8 featuring six artists’ imaginings and perceptions of annihilation. As we begin 2012, the year that some believe will be our last on earth, The End is in the air.

The artists in WIPE OUT were selected because of their ability to imagine, digest and embrace the possibility of humanity’s demise. If we are doomed, at least we should enjoy it. Consider the opening reception Peanut Gallery’s answer to Sunday School – the work in WIPEOUT conveys the essence of a Baptist preacher’s apocalyptic vision filtered through the hyperactive, slightly deranged and certainly dangerous mind of a visionary anarchist.
