Marvel Up Late

Overview

When GOMA puts together an exhibition, they go big — they don't want you spending much time at home, you see. As part of their current Marvel: Creating the Cinematic Universe showcase, they've decked out their halls with props, art, costumes and more, and filled their cinema with caped crusader flicks. Now, they're throwing a series of Friday night parties to extend the revelry.

From July 28 to September 1, music, movies, and meandering past Tony Stark's suits and the Hulk's bed all combine in an end-of-week art and sound extravaganza, Marvel Up Late. It's the usual kind of shindig GOMA throws for their huge installations, but no one jam-packed gathering is the same. With Art vs Science, Black Cab, Habits, Olympia, Models and NO ZU on the music bill, they're  calling this one superhero-sized, for example.

Other highlights include local artisans discussing the craftsmanship involved in the exhibition, should you want to learn more about the pieces on display, plus pop-up bars. And while we're not telling you to dress up like your favourite hero, you know someone will. When surrounded by Thor's hammer and Spider-man's first comic appearance, after all.
