Panty Waste (art show)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Panty Waste: The World-Famous Underwear Museum was a 2003 art show at a gallery in San Francisco. It featured undergarments of males and females, painted and decorated, as well as sculptures and paintings of said undergarments. Its name is a word play derived from the term "pantywaist" that refers to a male with weak moral character and the fact that most of the exhibits are made from discarded (waste) undergarments.
The show took place at the Balazo/Mission gallery in the mission district of San Francisco, which hosts several anti-art and anti-fashion shows a year. The show was created by Ricky Lee, who said it was a lifelong dream to create a museum of "homage to our humbliest and often our fanciest of undergarments." The show features a wide range of artists from many different media such as graffiti writers, tattoo artists, as well as musicians, painters, and sculptors.
