REALMS Devin Flynn
MutMuz is thrilled to exhibit the multifaceted works of Devin Flynn opening Friday, September 4 at 7 PM - 10 PM.
Devin Flynn is an artist, musician and animation director who may be most well known for either his visionary animated web-series Y’all So Stupid, his band Pixeltan, or perhaps his musical and artistic collaborations with underground comics legend Gary Panter.
What is lesser known is that while steadily maintaining a presence in the animation industry and pursuing musical projects, Devin has also been diligently making art which has been evolving and maturing while remaining exploratory and fresh.
Over the years he has amassed a large body of artworks combining his distinct drawing sensibilities with a multitude of materials that inspire him, blurring the line between painting, collage, automatic formalism & visual diary.
This current exhibition is a new level of refinement and definition.
A new focused body of works has emerged from the experiments culminating in a series entitled OTOFORMS which involve an element of sound.
In order to grasp the diverse and vast spectrum of Devin’s creative output, we have included a survey of works in the upstairs gallery.
Works on paper, Posters, Prints, and drawings will help to inform the newest works.
A program of Animation screenings will be included throughout the exhibition’s run as well.
REALMS - The title is significant for a couple of reasons.
Since Devin’s creative output takes on so many forms it makes sense to describe them as different locations or worlds within his personal universe.
The other reason is, growing up in LA in the 80’s, Devin was a member of a prominent graffiti crew and distinguished his works with the name “RELM”.
His involvement in this subculture led to many great friendships and opportunities.
It was the beginning of his long journey as a professional artist and was formative in how he continues to apply his ideas visually. Flowing compositions, jarring color, and strong imagery remain his signature regardless of the materials used. This includes the animation and even the music. It is all tied together by a singular vision which finds many outlets.

MutMuz Four
MutMuz Four features a special collection of work by LA-based multimedia artists Jon Huck, Matthew Rosenquist, Loren Burke, and Siena Goldman.
Jon Huck was born and raised in Los Angeles and has pursued a wide range of creative and professional pursuits, with painting and sculpture becoming a central focus later in life. Since then, he has built a prolific practice rooted in experimentation and play. Working primarily with wood and watercolor on paper, he also. explores a variety of mediums, including cut-outs, masks, animation, and collage.
Matthew Rosenquist grew up outside Washington D.C. and has been making art for as long as he can remember. Trained in art school and working professionally as a carpenter, he ultimately found sculpture to be the medium best suited to his practice, combining technical craftsmanship with humor and nostalgia.
“In addition to my life size figures, I make cars and seventies vans and televisions and pieces that hang from the ceiling. I like to work on stuff that makes me laugh. Some of my figures are doing things with their phones and I guess I want to say something about how silly we all look with phones in our hands. I’m mining the memories of my youth that had significance to me in a funny way. An old television set or a bygone hairstyle or something we wore back in the day will, with luck, bridge a generation gap.”
Loren Burke is an artist from Greenfield, Massachusetts. His paintings are at once playful and unsettling, using expressive brushwork, subtle distortion, and a refined sense of color to evoke psychological depth. Drawing inspiration from classical painting traditions, Burke’s work reflects on the enduring mysteries of the human experience. He had his first solo exhibition at La Beast Gallery in February 2026.
Siena Goldman dropped from the sky into the San Fernando Valley. She crawled through life exploring creativity. When she began to walk, she discovered music and visual art. When she began to fly, she was fascinated by the psychedelia and humor of early experimental animation, and the unselfconscious creativity found in anonymous artwork and handmade objects. Now that she floats, she works intuitively, painting and drawing conceptually amorphous, jester-like characters in costume, creating a world that is whimsical, enigmatic, and surreal just like everyday.

MutMuz Gallery’s first open call exhibition Beautiful Mutants opens Friday, November 14 from 7PM - 11PM!
Flesh for Frankenstein screening presented by Hollywood Entertainment
“To know Death, Otto, you’ve got to fuck life… in the gall bladder!”
Bloody, bizarre, and built for the bisexual gaze, Paul Morrissey’s Flesh for Frankenstein comes to MutMuz in gloriously gory 3D! With a pre-show by 3-D SPACE, LA’s Stereoscopic Museum!
In 1973, Morrissey and producer Andy Warhol released their duology of psychosexual, strange, violent, and incredibly dryly funny horror-comedies. Both the brazen Flesh for Frankenstein and its twisted sibling Blood for Dracula star Udo Kier and Joe Dallesandro and are wickedly charming genre satires with timelessly strange humor, horror, and horrific horniness. Flesh is a clever and haunting take on the Doctor and his monster(s) with gorgeous photography by Luigi Kuveiller and iconic effects by the legendary Carlo Rambaldi!
Originally presented in Space-Vision 3D and now on its way to shock your eyes in its greatest-ever presentation— with the great 3-D Space at Mutmuz Gallery in Hollywood Entertainment-vision!
AKA Night of the Alien and Splatter!

Best known for its iconic H.R. Giger cover art, its reunion of two stars of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Marilyn Burns and the Edwin Neal who also co-wrote), special effects by Robert A. Burns, and for being the screen debut of beloved actor/musician John Hawkes, don’t miss this rarely-screened ‘80s Austin, Texas-born-and-bled new-wave eco-horror sci-fi-splatter video-nasty beauty!

“In the 90’s I was in the wrong place at the right time and I was able to document two artists that I consider the greats of that era. Beck and Elliott Smith. Now someone that all three of us looked up to as our spiritual spud father, Mark Mothersbaugh, has offered his Chinatown gallery to share these images with you”
- Ross Harris
Hollywood Entertainment presents Madame Wang’s

The madcap bad-taste tale of a masochistic East German rebel spy who jumps ship in LA to find Jane Fonda and recruit her to the Communist cause… Our hero Lutz is sidelined by a weird new wave world of swap meeters, squatters, junk traders, doorknob lickers and sex workers and starts spiraling toward the American dream: auditioning for a spot in the Chinatown punk scene.
Featuring performances by Phranc and The Mentors and an eccentric cast including trans activist Virginia Prince.
Special thanks to Vinegar Syndrome and Elizabeth Purchell

Screening of Dave Markey’s Desperate Teenage Lovedolls
See the hard-rocking Super 8 classic the LA Times called "rather rude!"
Hollywood Entertainment and MutMuz Gallery proudly present Desperate Teenage Lovedolls featuring a Q&A with director Dave Markey and stars Janet Housden and Jennifer Schwartz moderated by Jennifer Finch (L7)!
"In a scene of no values, where climbing your way to the top means climbing into bed, where drugs and cheap thrills fill the date book, where rock & roll means death and destruction...." don't miss the LA Punk Masterpiece that has been charming and inspiring audiences to start bands, make movies, and leave home since it hit the hallowed screens and tubes of LAHSA and EZTV in 1984.
Bunny, Kitty, and Patch (Hilary Rubens, Jennifer Schwartz, and Janet Housden) are three teenage runaways who form the hottest all-girl band of all-time, The Lovedolls. Their meteoric rise to the top from a drug addled street life in Hollywood comes with a price, thanks to sleazy rock manager, Johnny Tremaine (Steve McDonald). Rival all-girl gang The She Devils and their leader Tanya Hearst (Tracy Lea) have it in for our heroes, as do annoying mothers and psych ward doctors. The film also features Jeff McDonald, Phil Newman, Vicki Peterson, Annette Zilinskas & Dez Cadena.
Come join us at MutMuz Gallery for a very special screening of Max Fleischer's silent cartoon classic 'Out of The Inkwell' accompanied by live music from John Reed-Torres!
Screening of Max Fleischer’s Out of The Inkwell
Screening of 1960 Film Beat Girl
Come celebrate “Why Are We Here? No. 01” - Mark Mothersbaugh's first solo exhibition of paintings and screen prints at his MutMuz Gallery with Hollywood Entertainment!
Edmond T. Greville's Beat Girl (1960) -- released in the US as Wild For Kicks-- stars Gillian Hills as sulky teenager Jennifer, who rebels when her father brings home his new and very young wife who's hiding an exotic past. Jennifer sneaks off to the Off-Beat Café and begins her seductive slide into teenage chaos. Thrill to her delicious descent into the depraved worlds of rock music, stripteases, car racing, coffee at night, train tracks "chicken," Teddy Boys, murder, and terror! This controversial cult classic features John Barry's iconic first film score, and star turns from Christopher Lee (as strip joint owner Kenny King), Oliver Reed (as the dangerous Plaid Shirt), Shirley Anne Field (as the sensual singer Dodo) and Adam Faith (as Dave).
Titled Why Are We Here? No. 01 by Mark Mothersbaugh, the exhibition is the first in a series under the same name, each delving into the artist's reflections on existence and broader societal questions. Through this evolving body of work, Mothersbaugh invites viewers to join him in contemplating life’s fundamental mysteries, offering an evolving journey into the mind of one of today’s most innovative artists.
“I fell in love with printmaking in my first year at Kent State University, back in 1968. I printed for about a decade before touring with Devo made it nearly impossible, but I reignited that love in the mid-’80s when I met Richard Duardo, who had a screen-printing company in the then-industrial wasteland known as Traction Ave. Whenever I had free time, I would head over there and build a large body of work—including the silkscreen prints in this current show.
The paintings here were created during the COVID lockdown, when I had a rare opportunity to focus entirely on my visual art. All of the work in this show originates from decades of creating images and text on card-sized paper—what I sometimes refer to as my Postcard Diaries.”
