Return of Mudman: Henry Art Gallery in Seattle is presenting a comprehensive overview of the work of Kim Jones from the 1960s to the present featuring sculptures, drawings, collages and a photographic timeline of the artist who came to be known as “Mudman.”
The show opens at 8 tonight at the gallery, 15th Avenue NE and NE 41st Street, Seattle. Tickets are $10, $6 seniors and students. Complimentary food, drink and performances by Jones as Mudman continue throughout the evening.
Jones became known through the 1970s performance art movement in Southern California when he let his alter ego, Mudman, take over. He would cake himself in mud, bear a lattice appendage of sticks attached to his back and wear a headdress and nylon mask. He then would take Mudman out on city streets, beaches, subways and galleries.
