Jodorowsky's Dune, an exhibition.

If there's one thing you should know about me it's that I like Dune, or more accurately, I like what people have done with Dune. The book is of course awesome; with its complex themes of geology, theology, and its feudalism-in-space plot. But the best thing about it is how David Lynch and Alejandro Jodorowsky and their respective creative teams interpreted the source material and gave it their own visual stamps.

Lynch had production designer Anthony Masters (who did Kubrick's 2001)and Emilio Ruiz Del Rio.

Jodorowsky had H.R. Giger, Chris Foss, Moebius and Salvador Dali on board for his failed attempt to get the book on screen. BUT WHAT A FAIL



So I went to the private view of the exhibition of the concept work for Jodorowsky's failed Dune. It's got some good stuff there, but alas not as much as I would have liked. It could have provided more info and been more on the 'art as a technical process' side rather than the 'art as just art' in terms of presentation. But anyway it's cool to see it all.

Go here for info on the exhibition.
