SuperTrash,” a collection of B-movie posters on loan from the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, It’s a collection of pulp art film posters, with some being campy and funny, while many others are risqu\u00e9 and, well, trashy.<\/p>\n

Co-curator Jacques Boyreau, author of “Trash: The Graphic Genius of Xploitation Movie Posters,” said that trash and art can’t be separated and depend on one another. That’s why these posters deserve to be seen in a gallery, he said.<\/p>\n

Aficionados in esoteric films can bring a tally sheet and count the number of movies in the exhibit you’ve seen. Pop culture classics like “Carrie” and “Dirty Harry” are represented, but so are far more obscure movies like “A Sweet Sickness,” an adults-only movie with an adults-only poster.<\/p>\n

Other memorable titles of less-than-memorable films include “Loveslaves of the Amazons,” “A Hatchet for the Honeymoon” and “The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant,” a 1971 thriller that starred Bruce Dern. There are 215 such posters included in the exhibit.<\/p>\n

Vintage movie trailers and clips will also play in the gallery. During the exhibit’s run, the museum will screen some of the B-movies featured in the collection.
\nOther museum events connected to the exhibit include the SuperTrash Bash, a party featuring local DJs and a collection of faux B-movie posters created by local artists as part of a contest sponsored by the museum. Costumes are encouraged at the party, but it’s only for the 21-and-older crowd. Tickets are $25 or $30 for VIP, and includes a “Phantom of the Paradise” screening and one drink ticket.<\/p>\n

Curators Boyreau and Greg Pierce will offer a free talk about the collection at 7 p.m. tonight, followed by a screening of the 1971 film “Werewolves on Wheels” — about a motorcycle gang cursed by evil monks. Tickets are $5.<\/p>\n
